DRY is forecast

The P~lentyw0Od municipal cleo
ton for the purpose of electing
a Mayor, one alderman for each
ward, a city treasurer and a pO-
lice magistrate occurs next Mon
day.
Joe Redmond is unopposed for al
derman of the first ward, and Henry

large number of his friends.
Mayor is Principal Battle
The principal battle of the ballots
hinges about the mayorality, for
which position DR.. J. c. Storkan is

Mayor of Plentywood in 1927 and
1923.
AS an illustration of the costs of
administration of city affairs during
the last term Of Mr.. Belanski and the
present term of Mayor Storkan, we

nitcly just who designed our Ma
tional Flag. But tradition points to
Betsy Ross as the neodlewOman
whose fingers wrought with loving
care the first sample of the Stars
and Stripes, which was almost iden-
tical with the flag as we know it
today.
Late in the spring of 1776 her lit
tie shop in Philadelphia was visited
by some distinguished patrons. A
committee, headed by George Wash
! ington, called on Mrs. Ross and sub
mitted a rough design of, new type
of flag in which stars had been sub
stituted for the crosses of St.
George and ST. Andrew. The COM
mittee was of the opinion that the
stars should be siX-pointed. Mrs.
Ross showed them how a five-point-
ed star could be made by one snip
of her scissors, and her suggestion
was adopted.
Unfortunately no record of this
first flag has been preserved.
However, Betsy told the story in de-
tail to her children and grandchil-
dren, and her descendants vouch for
the authenticity of the historic Incl
dent.
1t is interesting to know that Mrs.
Ross was flag maker for some 60
years, was thrice left a widow, and
lived to be 81 years old.
The flags first official birthday
was one June ID, 1777. On that date
Congress resolved THAT the flag
of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, repre-
senting new constellation"
Nobody knows just when the Stars
and Stripes were first displayed Of
the early appearance of the new flag,
there are many accounts, and a va
riety of conflicting claims.
A Flag Of Ladies' Gowns
Soon after the new design was
officially adopted, John Paul Jones
was at Portsmouth, N. H., preparing
to sail abroad on the Ranger One
naval authority wrote that the young
ladies of Portsmouth wrought out
of their own and their mothers
gowns a beautiful StarzSpangled
Banner, which was flown to the
breeze in Portsmouth IIarbor on
July 4, 1777."
Avery's history records that an

other hastily improvised Stars and
Stripes was used by the defenders
of Fort StanwiX, near Rome, N. Y,
on August 8, 1777. Captain Swart-
won't donated his cloak for the blue
field, the soldiers gave their shirts
for the white stripes, and a soldiers
wife contributed her petticOat for
the red stripes. There are records
to show that the Continental treas
ury reimbursed Captain Swartwout
for the loss of his cloak.
The Stars and Stripes first went
into action at sea, when Captain
Thomas Thompson, in command of
the Raleigh, fired a broadside of
thirteen guns into a British man-o'
war on September 4, 1777. In his
report of the incident the captain
wrote in part: "We cOmplimented
them with a gun for each State,
whole brOadside into their hull"
First Salute to Old Glory
Many Americans will recall that
the first salute to the Stars and
Stripes was given on February IA,
177S, by France. This occurred in
Quiberon Bay on the French coast,
when the Ranger, under John Paul
Jones, was saluted by the French
feet under Admiral LIE Motto Pic
quet.
Old Glory first foated over a fort
ress of the Old World when Lieut..
O'Bannon of the Marines and Mid
shipman Mann of the Navy raised
the flag over the fortress at Derne,
Tripoli where it was flung to the
breeze on April q, 1906.
"By the dawn's early light" on
September II, 1914, Francis Scott
Key the Star-Spangled Banner still
waving over Fort McHenry and
composed the song which is now the
national anthem.
Both the flags raised at Tripoli
and at Fort McHenry had fifteen
stars and fifteen stripes, a design
that remained in vogue from 1875
until 1918. Then Congress authorized
the return of the flag to its original.
form of thirteen stripes, one star
being added for each State entering
the union.
The little home of Betsy Ross has
virtually unchanged
the years. Old wood cuts
show it to be much the same as it
was in Washington's time. 1t is now
preserved as a national shrine.

FELTON,

The farmers are busy this week
getting. their farm work done to go
in harvest work. Quite few have
reported having a good prospect for
a good yield of wheat, but the price
will be low, as it is said they have
been offered as low as 81 cents a
bushel; we hope by threshing time
the price will be much higher.
The Children's Day exercises were
held at the NJ. E. Church on Sunday
morning and were largely attended.
A very. nice program was arranged
for the occasion.

Old Glory, the most beautiful of
all national flags. has birthday on
June IA. Our flag is not only the
also truly representative of the ma
ton, for in its blue field there are
forty-eight glistening stars, signi-
flying each State of the Union.
More than a century and half
has passed since the Star-Spangled
Banner was first flung to the breee.
Step by step it has kept pace with
the forward march of the nation.
1t stands for patriotism. loyalty and
fidelity to the ideals of America.
Many Colonial Flags
Long before Old Glory became the
symbol of our great nation, there
were scores of flags, representing
the hopes and aspirations of our
forefathers. Colonial flags show
anchors, beavers, rattlesnakeS, pine
trees and various other insignia.
Some of them bore the words,
Hope" Liberty" or "An Appeal to
Heaven" A favOrite motto beneath,
the rattlesnake design was Don't
Tread on Me-"
The first flag in general use by the
colonists consisted of thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white,
typifying the thirteen colonies, with
a union bearing the crosses of St.
George and st. Andrew combined,
and signifying the Mother Country.
1t was known as the Grand Union
Flag, sometimes called the Congress
ColOrs, and in addition was the first
Navy ensign.
The Grand Union flag was first
hOisted over our fleet in the Della
ware River in December, 1775, and
was flown to the breeze at Cam
bridge, Mass, when the Continental
Army came into existence in Janu-
ary, 1916. 1t foated over forts cap
tured by American sailors and ma
rines in the Bahamas in March,
1776; received a salute from Dutch
fort in the West Indies in Novem-
ber, 1776, and figured in many other
stirring episodes.
But the Grand Union flag was
never formally acknowledged by
Congress. 1t was the Stars and
Stripes, which VIC so often call Old
Glory, that was destined to be aC-
corded that honor ono hundred and
fifty four years ago.
