killed me as he so often had wished

EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY.

Plymouth was the first permanent
white settlement in New England and
dates its founding from the landing Of
the Pilgrims, Dec. 81, 1920. The iron
works on the banks Of the Saugus
river, established in 1643, were the
first iron works established in Amer
lea. A small iron pot cast there in
the first forge in America is now the
property of the city of Lynn and is
in a glass case in the Lynn public
library.

High prices do not prevail in the

Certain Of the German merchants in
Coblenz have been charging cxorbitant
prices for some time. At the time
when the mark deprecated in value
and the exchange rate was over hun
drcd marks to the dollar many of the
shopkcepcrs in Coblenz raised their
prices accordingly, although the cost of
the merchandise they received from
the manufacturers was very little more
than it had previously been.

value of the mark and with a larger
monthly pay, he would be willing to paw
the increased prices of their wares. But
more recently. when the mark nearly
doubled in value and the exchange rate
changed from l01 marks to the dollar
to I9.4 marks and eventually to so
marks to the dollar, prices for goods
remained at the tigure to which they
had been raised at the time of the first
decided reaction.
An investigation was made by the
American military authorities, with the
result that twenty-five stores in Co.

Many Forms of EARLY Flags
Various Types Used Before Old
Glory Was Adopted

According to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition there were MANY forms of early
flags, especially Colonial types used by
the individual colonies and militia reg
iments, before the flag Of the United
States was established by the CONT
mental Congress June IA, 1777, the
anniversary Of which date is now cell
ebrated as Flag Day. This act required
that the flag Of the United States
be Of 13 horizontal stripes, alternate
rcd and white, and that the union be
13 white stars on blue field, repre-
scnting a new constellation.
One of the first occasions for public
display of the Stars and Stripes is said
to have been August 6, 1777, when
the new flag was hoisted over the
troops at Fort Schuyler, Rome, N. Y.
John Paul Jones is said to have been
the first to fly the Stars and Stripes
over the high seas on the Ranger, in
November, 1777.
From the time of the Revolution
the stars and stripes in the flag have
varied. There were 13 stars during

as late as the early part of the Eigh-
