THE STANDARD AMERICAN FLAG

The American fas Is among the oldes. Of natiohnl ness, being older than the present. British Union Jack. the French Tri- Color, and the nns of Spain. and many years older than the flags of Germany and Italy, some of which like those of other countries are personal flags, or those of reigning families.
 The flag of Great Britain was used by the early colonists beginning with the settlement of Jamestown in 1920 and was the only official flag from that date until June l4 1777. It consisted of the red cross of St George and the white cross of St Andrew on a blue field During the intervening periods however, and more especially, ofter the beginning of the controversy with the mother country, various colonies and sections of the Atlantic sea board adopted variety of flags. Some of the most historic are as follows:
 The pine tree" flag which was red with a white canton in which was placed the red cross of St George and a pine tree.
 The English Colonial flag which was red with the British flag as a canton.
 The rattiesnake flag adopted by the southern colonies in 1775 consisted of a, white field with a rattlesnake cut into thirteen pieces, placed upon it. each part bearing the initial of a colony, and the whole carrying the legion, "Join, or die" Later, in l77G. the flag bore a rattlesnake coiled and the legend, Don't Tread on Me" and still later the thirteen stripes with the snake across them. In either case there were generally thirteen rattles
 The first flag in the South was said to have been devised by Colonel Moul- trie in the fall of 1775. It was q large blue flag with n crescent in the upper
