burg by New England troops in 1745 during King Georges war and in the attack on Fort Duquesne in 1755 when Col George Washington saved the army after Braddock's defeat by the French and Indians in the fourth and last of the inter-Colonial wars.
 The flag of the United States of America, 1776, the first Of the striped flags, carried 1S alternate red and white stripes with the union ahd crosses of Jacques Union'' in the canton. It is derived by cutting the red field of the Colonial flag of the mother country up into seven stripes and the addition of six alternate white stripes. These 13 stripes, of course, represented the 13 colonies. The crosses in the canton stood for ale glance to the King and mother coun- try. This was the first flag which was raised at the stern of the Alfred when Lieut.. Paul Jones said that the flag of America floats for the first time on an American man-o'-war.
 The first flag of the United States was that of 1777, commonly called the Betsy Ross Flag, which has 1S alter nate red and white stripes with 13 white stars arranged in a circle on a blue field in the canton. This flag was used during the Revolutionary War and was Americas flag from June IA, 1777, to May 1, 1795.
 The second flag of the United States, 1795, contained 15 alternate red and white stripes and 15 stars. This f1a@ sreved in the War of 1912 and was the inspiration for Francis Scott Key in writing t"The Star Spangled Banner
 on Sept. IA, 1914 This flag was used
 from May 1, 1795, until July 4, 1918. l Americas third flag, 1918, shows the
 return to the 13 stripes, which have
 since been retained, and called for ar
 addition of a star to the union o1 stars in the canton, on the Fourth o1
 July next following the admission o1 1 a State into the Union.

FOSSIL FOREST FANCIES

Scattered over the Arizona desert like
fiery clinkers dropped from the furnace
of the sun, or the ruins of rainbow arch
that has fallen down and smashed to bits,
lie the fossil forests famous for their color.
This is the real forest primeval; coeval
with creation. Maybe these trees grew in
the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve
were the caretakers. Did the serpent be-
guile them here? Did ancestral apes
swing in their treetops? Were they used
as hitching posts for dinosaurs? Did any
ancient Rosalind carve her name upon the
bark? These trees are older than history.
No sign is necessary here of "Woodman,
spare that tree" for they are tremendously
hard and would turn any edge.

worlds oldest trees, have seen the olives

high that geologists stumble-surrounded
by cliffs 15o< feet high, with cut ravines and
sloping meAas painted with sandstone,
clay and shale, the forest has come up to
look at the light and listen to the breeze
as it did so long ago that only the Eternal
Creator knows when. Father Time, now
bent and wearing long beard, must have
been a small, smooth-faced kid when these
trees lived. Serene they were, and are,
and will be when you and l are dust, and
the memories of present nations, with their
wealth, war, power and learning, are a
myth or child's fairy tale.-G. L. Nor

OUR THANKSGIVING DAY ENTER
TAINMENT

On Thanksgiving morning two hours
vaudeville performance was given in the
prison auditorium by courtesy of Mr.. Mar
tin Beck, President of the Orpheum cir
cult and Arthur B. White, resident man
ager and the volunteer collaboration of
. the performers, musicians, Dick Hanch,
stage manager, and employees, from the
Orpheum theatre of St. Paul.
: The program was opened by Prof. Fred
G. Albrechts concert orchestra with
musical novelty, followed by profusion
of songs, repartee, monologues, travesties,
comical and dramatic playlets and exhi
bitions of the latest terpsichorean steps
and interpretations. Considerable bag
gage must have been brought from St.
Paul as each act had its adequate para
phernalia; costumes, an everything.
The bill was an ideal combination and
abounding as it did in humor and gloom
dispensing situations, was greatly appre-
ciated and will linger in memory for
some time, because of its bright contrast
against the usual prison routine.
PROGRAM
1-Piccolo Pic characteristic by Slater,
Orpheum Orchestra.
2-Zola Bohn, Popular Songs.
3-Lucy Gillett "The Lady from Delft"
Aloe Lane and Pearle Harper, "The
Man and the Manicure"
SACK Trainor and Company, Jack
Lait's Playlet "Help."
6-Charles Kenna, "The Street Faker."
Jack Cahil and Don Romine present
"A Comedy Mix-Up."
S-Eddie Voght, in "The Love Shop"
with Harry and Grace Ellsworth and "A
Dozen Darlings."
Although each act has not been COM
mented on separately we feel that no
pangs of jealousy will be animated by
inserting slightly accented, Thank you,"
to the youngest artistic, bonny lola Bohn,
this being for her return engagement to
our intramural stage.
The prison inmates while extending
sincere thanks to the performers, musi-
clans, and all who so generously assisted
in making such high-class entertain
ment possible for US, hope that the years
to come hold future bookings (transient)
for the "Silent City" on the St. Croix
lake.
Following is the menu of our dinner,
which was served soon after the program
by the Orpheum players:
