FLAG DAY

When the American army was at
Cambridge and the British army was
besieged in Boston, the new flag
raised Jan 2, 1916 had a field Of thir-
teen stripes alternating red and white
renresenting the thirteen colonies but
j. retained the Union Jack to indicate
that the colonies still recognized allie
glance to Great Britain. This took
the place of a variety Of flags, pre-
dominant among which was that on
which appeared rattlesnake bear
ing thirteen rattles representing the
colonies, under the sentiment: Don't
Tread on Me-" Nearly a year and
half later, June il, 1871, the Cont
mental Congress adopted a flag, the
new design of which was made by
Betsy Ross, on which the Union Jack
was replaced by union of thirteen
stars on a blue ground representing
now constellation" The anniver-
sary Of that date is now celebrated in
all the forty-eight states as Flag
Day
Much of that which has been said
respecting the flag has suggested on
the part Of those who spoke a desire
to stir the emotions, not always for
purposes that were worthy. The silent
appeal made to those who realize in
fun the wonderful significance Of the
national emblem, who comprehend
something of all the sacrifice and de-
yoton that have gone to the making
and the keeping of our flag may not
be adequately expressed in words.
The emotion of those who fought
against it and now are proud to live
a!nder it, Of those who were starving
and saw in it the approach of deliv-
crancc, of those who believe that OPP
lression and intolerance are not per-
omitted under it, Of those whose kim
Grod have died to make and keep it
what it is may not easily find express
sion, but they are a mighty bulwark
TO its high estate. Thin'l upon these
things, this Flag Day.
