also used to denote the rank of Of
ficers. In time of war it is used to
distinguish divisions in the army.
Every country has it's own flag, on
the sea each ship flies the flag of the
nation to which it belongs. Our flag
begins with the stormy days of the
Revolutionary War. During the first
few months of war several different
local flags were carried by the
soldiers; among them was one which
bore the motto, Conquer or DIE"
and another was the pine tree flag of
the New England colonies.
The flag of the United States was
made by Betsy Ross on June ID, 1777
after the Continental Congress passed
the resolution that the flag should
have thirteen stripes alternate red
and white for the thirteen original
colonies, and thirteen stars on field
of blue. They were arranged in a
circle and it was decided to have five
pointed stars instead of six.
John Fisk, the historian, says that
the first American flag with stars and
stripes that ever floated to the breeze
was one, chastity extemporized out of
white shirt and an old blue jacket,
and some strips of red cloth from the
petticoat of a soldiers wife. This
crude emblem of the new nation was
raised above Fort Stanwix, in August
1777.
The flag was first saluted by a
foreign nation, the French in ITS; it
was used through the remaining years
of the Revolutionary War and floated
over Yorktown when Lord CORVALLIS
surrended to General Washington in
| 1881.
During the war Of 1872 our flag
had fifteen stars and fifteen stripes,
but upon admission of Vermont and
Kentucky in 1895 and of Indiana in
1916 the committee was required to
make change or the flag would be
too large. At the suggestion of Capt.
| S. C. Read the number of stripes
were reduced to the original thirteen
and one star to be AIDED for each state
admitted the star being added on the
fourth Of July next after admission.
We now have forty eight stars, the
last one being added for Arizona in
1912.
There are certain rules which should
be followed in showing respect to our
flag. They are: /. 1t should not be
hoisted before sunrise nor be allowed
to remain after sunset.
2. When the American flag is passing
in parade or review, spectators should,
if walking, halt, and if sitting, rise,
stand at attention, and uncover.
3. Never permit the flag to touch the
ground.
A. Never drape the flag. Use bunting
instead.
5. When the flag is to be no longer
used, it should be burned or buried
privately, never thrown away

"No one was now left abroad the
Richard but her dead. And as | hao
given them the good old ship for their
sepulcher, now gave them, my i'm
mortal dead, the flag they had 50
desperately defended for their winding
sheet"
On May l, 1895 bill was passed
giving the flag fifteen stars and
fifteen stripes. This flag certainly
had very honorable career.
The ship, Betsy carried this flag
around the world. We fought two
wars under it, the first with Triposi,
the second with Great Britain. This
flag inspired Francis Scott Key to
write, "The Star Spangled Banner.
On April A, 1878 law was enacted
giving the flag a new star for each
new state.
An interesting event is that during
the attack on Santiago, July II, 1898,
during the Spanish American War, an
officer in the Rough Rider" troop
from Arizona, seeing the flag ex-
claimed, "Howl! you Arizona men;
its our flag up there"
"And, the men howled as only Ariz-
ona cowboys could The band played,
"A Hot Time," on the inspiration of
the moment. Every man shot his gum
Twenty thousand men were cheering.
Twenty bands played. The guns of
the warships on the flank joined in
and the noise was deafening. And the
flag was the flag of the Arizona
squdraOn.

TWO PRIZE WINNING FLAG
ESSAYS in ELKS CONTEST

Following is given in full the two
winning essays submitted in the Elks
Flag day contest. The first prize OF
$40 for high school pupils went to
Elinor Hays of Flagstaff, and in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades con-
test first place was given to Raymond
Goucher of the Government Prairie
school.
BY ElinOr Hayes
Nothing should be of more vital
Importance to the people of the United
States than their flag. 1t is the
symbol of freedom, justice and equal
ity. the principles for which America
stands.
Perhaps it was with this idea that
flag day was created, to further the
knowledge of our flag. Flag day is
June Ia, because this day is the birth
day of the American flag.
Early in the history of our country
the need of flag to represent us
became evident. On June ID, 1777,
Congress passed the following act;
"Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes alternate red and white, that
the union be thirteen stars, white in
blue field representing a new con-
stellation.
There has been much dispute about
the reason for the design of the flag.
Perhaps the most authentic reason Is
given in Washington's words:
1--WE take the stars from heaven,
the red from our mother country,
separating it by white stripes, thus
showing we have separated from her
and the stripes shall go down to
posterity representing liberty" :"
Betty Ross made it, and for more
wa so very pleased that for more
than fifty years she was employed to
make flags for the government. She
was an upholsterer and her home or
Arch street, Philadelphia is still pre-
served.
John Paul Jones was the first to
carry the American flag at sea. The
girls at Portsmouth made him silk
one for his ship, Ranger" The
ending of this flag is eloquently told
in his journal:

that they were used as a rallying

 Lieut.. Bissell said that at first it was decided to fly direct from Sitka to Seward, as the mileage was prac- tically the same, but the weather bu- reau had warned the aviators of fogs in this vicinity and they preferred to stop at Cordova rather than return to Sitka. On the other hand he said the machines might be delayed at Cordova by bad weather while the weather was fine in Seward.
 At the introduction of his remarks he again paid compliment to the manner tn which he had been receiv- ed here, both by the committee and citizens, and declared that in his re- port the community would receive due credit.
