ORIGINAL "0LD GLORY"
AT WELLS, NEVADA

The following from the last issue of
the Literary Digest will be of general
interest:
w. G. w." Oakland, CALI have
in my possession a long and detailed
history OF Old Glory written by the
owner of the veritable relic of that
name, which l have been privileged
to see and handle, although l have
never been in either Salem or Nash
vile in my life. The only and orig
inal old Glory was, a few years ago
and probably now is in the little cat
tie town OF Wells, in Elko county.
Nevada, where resided and perhaps
still resides, Capt. Charles Roland. an
officer of the Union army in the Civil
war, and his wife, who was the daugh-
ter of Capt. William, not Stephen
Driver, the heroic old seaman who
gave old Glory its name, and who
preserved it through the vicissitudes
OF he war somewhat as told in your
correspondents account. But after
he war, 1t remained in his own O
session until, on the occasion of his
daughters marriage to Capt. Roland.
and while she was sitting in the car
rage which was to bear her away
from his home forever, the old sailor,
l n an excess of emotion, placed his
~second-best treasure in her hands, and
babe them farewell together.
This is what | have heard from
the lips of Capt. Drivers daughter
while old Glory was spread out be-
tween US, being in its own aspect. in
trlnslc proof OF its age and origin.
Not TO stir up any controversy with
the Essex Historical society. nor other
potagonists OF the flag which is mas
querading in the Salem Museum as
the real old Glory | would suggest
that II its texture be examined. it will
De found to be of cotton, the material
used for flags at about the time of the
civil war, especially for those designed
Ior patriotic decoration or display.
whereas the Roland flag is made of
regular WOO bunting, such as naval
and old-time merchant vessels used
exclusively. 1t is Enthusiastically a ma
flne nag, and its weave and hand
workmanship are such as to prove its
great age, and the hard usage to which
II has been subjected.
have not heard from Capt. Ro-
iand Tor several years, and do not
know whether he is still surviving;
but If he be still in the land of the
living, | am confident that old Glory

AMERICA BEHIND
IN RED CROSS AID

TNsst~ HlNEEEEN
America has suddenly realized that
she is far behind the other nations in
this war in the matter of Red Cross
aid for her soldiers. Japan, with the
greatest Red Cross organization in
the world, best supported by her peO-
pie and most thoroughly systematized,
actually won her fight with Russo
because they could send back to the
battlefront more men, who had been
wounded, than any other nation ever
had thought possible. A veteran, who
has been wounded and is ready for ac-
tive service again, is a man VINO has
been under fire in the most serious
sense. He is the equal of at least
three green men, who have never gone
against the worst in a bloody on
hict.
That is why this present drive to
raise the hundred million fund has
stirred the popular Imagination. 1t
comes pyhchologically at the right
time. The ten million men between
q and 81 years, who registered for
the draft so promptly. brought the
situation home to all the citizens. The
liberty loan, so magnificently over
subscribed, carried the cas- still
nearer. If the people had not been
"war-conscious," as United States
Senator Hiram w. Johnson hinte1
that they were not, these two nation
wide campaigns settled all doubts.
Now comes the Red Cross campaign
to assure the men who will go to
fight for liberty, that they will get
the doctor, nurse and bandage" they
have a right to expect. Every indica-
ton is hat the Red Cross will win
| the canvas hands down" Reports
from all over the West bring assur-
anees that the country this side of
the Mississippi is going to establish
a record in this, as it has in the other
appeals from the national government
since the declaration of hostilities.
The hundred million is guaranteed, so
far as the Vests share is concerned.

Don't dodge the appeal of the Red
Cross for funds. There will be appeal
after appeal, with each perhaps more
urgent than its predecessor, as long
as the war lasts. We might as well ge

Not to do so would mean a denial to

accessories which civilians possess as
a matter of course. 1t would mean the
refusal of medicines. bandages, ambu-
lance and hospitals that are sorely
needed. 1t would mean the desertion
of our fighters when they lie sick and
dying.
The sum requested is a dollar apiece
for all of us. Some of us can give a
good deal more than that. Cleveland
H. Dodge of New York has offered 81
600, 900 to the fund, on condition that
tw~enty-four others subscribe the same
amount. 1t need surprise no one If
this princely proposal is accepted by a
a requisite number-our men of wealth
are pouring out like water. The steel
trust the other day declared a special
dividend of $4,000, 900 which is ex-
pected to be turned over almost en-
tire to the Red Cross. There will be
plenty of room for humber gifts, how

small, will be superfuous.

Catarrhar Deafness Cannot. Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by a con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucousn lining of the Eu-
stachain Tube. When this tube is in
hamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
urely closed. Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh. which is
an inflamed condition of the muscous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the mus
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
