Flag Day.

To tie Editor of The Star:
Saturday. June IA. 1919 will be our
first Flag day celebra ton since the sign
ing of the armistice, and SO let's get to-
honor of our first Flag day, Saturday,
June "A, 1777, when Old Glory was born;
and. then. too, in honor of the recent
glorious and righteous victory for de-
mocracy, in which the Stars and Stripes
aided materially. The schools will be
closed and the government departments
and business in general could suspend
for half day at least. Let's all rally
round the flag and sing its praises as
never before.
Our flag is the oldest national flag of
the world; it is older than the present
British flag, which was adopted in 1910;
the French tricolor which was born in
1884, older than the flag of Spain. which
first saw light of day in 1885. and in the
142 years of struggles and development
of the Stars and Stripes never once has
she bowed defeated to any foe-and she
never WILL her achievements are all on
the side of victory. Today as never be-
fore she stands out boldly for democ-
racy. for all that is true, just and pro-
gressive; for a new epoch in the world 8
history, and is a glorious promise for all
those who hope for universal brother
hood. the healing of the nations and
lasting peace through the world. And
SO on this Flag day let US sing with
more ferver than ever before:
Your flag and my Gag, and how it flies today,
In your land and my land and half a world
away;
Rose red and blood red its stripes forever
CLEAN,
Snow white and soul white. the good fore
fathers dream:
Sky blue and true blue with stars that CLEAN
Alright;
The glorious guidon of the day. a shelter
through the night.
Your flag and my flag, and oh, how much it
holds!
Your land and my land secure within its folds ;
Your heart and my heart beat quicker at the
sight,
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed. the red. the blue,
the white:
The one flag, the great flag the nag for me
and you,
Glorihes all else beside. the red. the white.
the blue.
