OLD GLORY.
The Story of Its Birth in Betsy Ross
Little House.

If you wee walking down. one of
the business streets of Philadelphia
today, you might see a little old
house, almost hidden by the ware
houses that tower above it on both
sides, declares the July American
Boy. And probably you would won
der how in the world that little old
house came to be left there when all
the property around had been built
up for business purposes. 1t is just
another proof that while Americans
are apt to think good deal of mon
ey and business, they also save room
in their hearts for patriotism, for it
is just in that little house that "Old
Glory" was born. And that happen
ed one hundred and forty years ago,
in 1776.
"The colonies" were then at war
with England and Gen. Washington
asked the Continental Congress to
decide upon some one emblem to
stand for all the colonies. Congress
appointed committee of three men,
one of whom was Washington him
self, to designate a suitable flag
for the nation"
Gen. Washington and his friends
had their own ideas about how the
flag ought to be made, and they de-
cided to talk to Mrs. Betsy Ross
about making it. She lived in the

design the flag was to have thirteen
stripes, and on a blue field a star for

star ever since. She was very skill

municipal body brings forth addition
al evidence to this end.
1t is the opinion Of the citizenship
that prompt and thorough attention
should be given the building of an
extension from the end of Railroad
Avenue to the complete Ramos road
and the pressing need Of this as one
of the most important strips to be
built will probably decide the mayor
and council to give this part of the
city their immediate attention. How
ever, it is no doubt the intention of
tshe city dads to continue their good
work just as rapidly as possible and
in the best manner possible until the
entire city has an ideal system of
streets and roadways.

ST. MARY HELPS OUT
IBERIA PARISH FAIE

At recent meeting of the Police
Jury in St. Mary parish it was decided
by the members of that official body
that the appropriation Of the State
which is S25O.OO would be donated
to the Teche Fair Association for the
conduct and expense Of the Fair to
be held here the latter part of the
month. In other words it will be
practically joint fair. This under
standing was brought about by the
|presence in st. Mary at the meeting
of the Police Jury, Of DR.. J. a. Good
win and Secretary Bernard. 1t is
their intention to also interest the
good people Of St. Martnsville to
join with Iberia and st. Mary and
have one of the biggest attractions
ever held in the state outside of
Shreveport. All of the necessary ar
rangements are now being made for
the buildings ard floor space and
nard are exceeding busy arranging
space for exhibits that are expected.
Sheds are to be erected on Weeks,
st. Peter and Julia Streets for the
accommodation of whatever live stock
that is to be brought in from the par
ish and district and we are told that
the entries so far received far exceed
expectations BY reason of the inter
est st. Mary and St. Martin viii take
in the exhibits, there is 70 doubt the
attendance will be double that of last
year. No entrance fee for either ad-
mittance or entry is one of the draw
ing cards and the board Of directors
knew what they were doing when
they decided to make everything
free for both exhibitors and visitors.
