"OId Glory. |"

Congress may have created our ilaS, but it remained for d Massa- chusoltS scadog to give the banner Ills real name, In 1881, when admir- ing friends gave Col. stephen Driver ul Salem, great flag for his ship, he mad" short but energetic speech, at the close of which he rais- "d his his hand toward the banner al the maSt's head and shouted 'OId Glory." Ever afterwards people called him Old Glory Driver During the 'iFlI war; while he was living ar Nashville, Tenn, Che Confrdcratrs searched yainly through his house to ind this same emblem; but in 1862 when th" northern troops captured the city, the old fellow suddenly brot II forth from some unknown hiding place and waved it in the face of friends and foes alike. And to-day the original "OId Glory" Is sateIy pre- served at Salem
 There IS something more than the fact that it ia our flag that sends the thrill over one seeing it in q foreign land There is something in those stars on the blue background that has made even the French and the Italian remark on it's inspiring quality. Per hapa after all, the sensation ia what the psychologists call the effect of re in this case a universal rcminiscrnce; for what man of any nation, race, or creed has not, as Il child looked at the stars in the heavens and wondered?

The First Battle Flaq.

Emerson tells in his Concord Hymn how the rmDutrlcd farmers their flag To ApuI's breeze unlurlcd.' But what Ik.uu of flag Wua thls the nrst used III Jn, American Revolution? It hap peurd that as the minutrmcn hurried from their farms toward Concord d c"rmu Capt.

And waving downward from the sword was q scroll with the words "NInce aut Nor II.r." the Latin for "Conquer or Die" That the farmers oDcycd the injuCtion Is known to all the world but few Americans know that the this first
 of our baulc.nags k safely stored
 away in the vault of the Bedford pub he library.
 on June l7 came the battle of Bunker i'm, but even in this second struggle of the Revolution the colon I4ts were so conservative that they could not depart wholly in their flag designing from the Union Jack. once
 more they used the red cross of St George, as in the Taunton flag, with the pine tree in the upper corner by the staff, but they used a blue field instead of the red of the British mer-
 chant flag It remained for the Amer ican navy, however, to swing entirely away from imitation of the English
 emblem, and in l715 our ships were flying banner of white with an i'm
 age of a pine tree in the center and the words, "An Appeal to Heaven the first distinctly original flag of the
 American people.
 But even yet there was no author ized standard In September, l775, soldiers from Virginia and the Caroli- mas displayed a blue flag with white crescent and the motto: "Liberty or Drath": but northern troops did not become enthusiastic over it. Col Will liam Moultrie of the 2d Carolina in, fantry declared himself the designer
 of this flag. "As there was no national
 flag at that time,' wrote he, in later
 days, Il was desired by the council
 of safety to have one made, upon which. as the state troops were cloth ed in blue and the fort was garrison
 ed by the lat and 2d regiments, who

 Confirming recent tclegl glaphic des- patches from Washington, a copy of fhr bill introduced in congress by Delegate Grigsby for the construction of d new federal building in Fair banks was received on the last mail from the Outside United States Mar aull L. r. Erwin, to whom the copy was sent, stated yesterday that there Was strong probability that MT Grgsby would be able to get the bill passed. as a similar bill introduced by late Delegate Sulzer was faVOra- ply recommended by the department of justice and would have passed both houses had it not b, en for the arising of the war emergency.
 The bill follows:

Massachusetts Puritans Objected to
Cross on Flaq.

Now, the Puritan New Englanders Were outraged at the idea of having d cross on a flag, and as early as 1885 Massachusetts soldiers refused to march under such saCrilcgious thing The military authorities were forced to design another emblem, and il i& probable that even at that date the picture of d pine tree on white back ground was adopted for the 'psalm singers It is certain that in 1852 the money of the Boston mint had a pine tree stamp on it, and certainly in I7O4 the pine tree flag was still being used in campaigns against the Indians.
 Thus affairs went on until l774, when some Massachusetts citizens especially those of Taunton became SO embittered over England's arbi- trary manner that they refused tO honor the British flag, and forthwith designed one of their own. A, how

 SECOND OLDEST
 OF ALL EMBLEMS

Do you know that America, the youngest of the great nations, has the second oldest flag of them all 2 Only the emblem of Great Britain ~urpasses ours in age The Spanish flag in its present form Was adopted in I1>5. the French in 179f. the ItaI- ian in lS4H. the German in 1871. and the Chinese in lS72 ours was off clalIy adopted June II, 1771.
 The British themselves did not have national emblem unuI James | came tu the throne in 1903, and even then many Englsmmen ignored his order that Ms particular flag b. adopted During the first crusade in ll95 Pope Urban II gave to each Christian nation d different cross To the Scotch he granted the white cross of St Andrew and this Was placed upon d banner with a blue black ground or field, while tU the British he gave yellow cross, which l5O years later they changed to the red cross of St George on white field. When James VI of Scotland became James | of England he shrewdIy i'm pressed upon both nations that there after they were one nation by com blnlug the two flags and ordering all ships lo carry the new emblem at the mast's head. Thus the British flag originated, and thus is became known as the Union Jack. And yet it was not until l7O7 that parliament definitely declared this the national banner.

Adding of New Stars

But new stars wanted to enter that "con~tcnation." Vermont was admit ted to the Union in l79l, and kentuc- Ky in l792 and in 179i congress add ed two stars and two stripes. But this adding could not continue indeti- uIueIy. no ~clf-respecting flag could look like zebra. In 1916 an effort Was made to enter various other states, for il was pointed out that even in 1912 there were 20 states and only l5 of them rcprcsenteN on the banner that Tapped at England. Congress debated and hcsitatcd il is q way congress has but in ISIS pass ed an act authorizing a return 10 the l3 stripes, but giving each state then existing or yet to be admitted, one star.

Proposal to Send RattIesnakes to Eng

land.

Early in 1776 the South came for ward with another suggestion in flag designing g-thiS time d rather violent one Before the war the Pennsylvania Gazette had declared that shipload of rattlesnakes ought to be sent to be distributed in St. James park and uth- CT places of pleasure in England in return for the wrongs forced upon the colonies, and, as South Carolina had been using in state celebrations since l764 d white or yellow flag with picture of rattlesnake and the words "Dont Tread on Me" SO it happened that Col. Christopher Gadsden of that state ordered prcpar- ed for his fighters yellow silk ban her with the same OminOus warn ings. He gave it at length 10 the com mander-in-Chief of the colonial navy but it was not flown from the mast head Early in 1776 Commander Hop kinS, however, was using banner with l3 red and white stripes with d rattlesnake winding across them, and the threatening words, Don't Tread on Me"
 Verify the American colonies were having their troubles in choosing something to wave. A they had not yet formally declared their indepen- dence they did not feel Justified in completely ignoring the English law of 1707 demanding the use of the united crosses, and yet banner was wanted showing that the Is common wealths considered themselves of some importance. on January l, l,'6, therefore, q flag was unturled over WashingtOn's headquarters at Cam bridge, having the crosses of st. George and St. Andrew in the upper corner, but 13 red and white stripes in the field. And thus came into eX- istence the last of the colonial em- blems-t the Cambridge or Grand Un- ion flag.
 British Mistake Import of Flag.
 But on the very first morning that it was exhibited an incident happened that proved it would never please the colonies. A message offering the Yankees certain easy terms of sur render had just arrived from King George, and the British troops, see ing what they supposed was the Un- ion Jack above the colonial camp, in Stantly concluded that the Americans had accepted the terms. A shout of tsiumph arose from the English ranks, and then and there embittered colonists declared they wanted no flag that could be so easily mistaken for the enemy's banner In various other camps other flags were hOiSted, with the crosses omitted, but always WltE the l3 bars, sometimes red and white sometimes blue and yellow.
 Betsy Ross Wins Her Point.
 Thus discussion and variations pro ceede until congress appointed a committee composed of George Wash | ingtOn, Robert Morris and George Ross to design distinctive American | flag. But what do any three mere men know of sewing and cOlors and cloth .. Ross took the committee to his young

 A little later such a flag with the word Liberty on it wa- floating over Fort Moutrie on Sullivan island. The British spared no pains to shoot it down. but when at length il fell a young Irish sergeant William Jasper lcaped over the ramparts, recovered the flag, and fastened it once more to the wall So enthusiastic was Gov. RutIcdgc over the deed that he gave his sword to Jasper, and offered mm a lieutenant commission But the lrlshman, unable to read or write, declined with the words. "I am not fiji to keep officers company. am but d sergeant"

 Meanwhile. when Washington, new

Y, by the light horse troop of Philadelphia, the band of cavalry had with them d rather gorgeous yellow silk banner trimmed with silver, with two human figures on either side Of a heartShap ed shield, and scroll bearing the words, For These We Strive But the significant element in this flag was the square of I3 white and blue stripes in the upper corner next tn" staff the first instance in which the l3 colonies were represented on an emblem.

This Is Some Cow

What is perhaps one of, if not the
best producing COW in the county is
owned by Mr.. billiard Adams of the
Waco section. Mr.. Adams says that
she is giving four gallons of milk a
day, and he skins the milk and churns
once a week. Although her two
months old calf was sold away from
her the other day, and she has been
worrying over it, very plainly, she is
making 18 pounds of butter a week,
and Mr.. Adams believes that as soon
as the COW comes to herself she will
make rs pounds week. With butter
selling as it is, this is some profitable
bovine. Who has one that can beat
her record. The Daily Register would
like to hear of her and print her re,
cord. Mr.. Adams calls his COW Mollie
Bug and is mighty sweet on her as he
has right to be.
