Good Evening.
OUR BATTERED FRIENDS

The jay stays with us all the year,
 His coat is always blue. It seems there's little that he fears,
 Any birds more beautiful are surely very lew. He comes here every day
 To pick up something good to eat. We're pleased to watch him, by the way, He picks up suet, bread and meat There are other birds who stay with Us too, They're always fond of any treat Iris pleasing to me and think to you To watch intently as they greedily eat. They fly through the air
 With the greatest of ease And their song is so fair We are very much pleased. They are very good masons
 And build their nests very high, On very small twig
 Up toward the blue sky. The robin and the wren have flown Down to warmer cline, But spring will bring them back again, When everything is very fine.

There are already over a mil lion women volunteers working iE war industries throughout Great Britain, and the country can use (and will get, through conscription if necessary well over a million more. These women, trained al Government schools. are going to meet the peace with knowledge of skilled work in trades never before accessible to them. It is a great question whether they will ever want to go back to their former way of living.
 THE WOMEN
 ARE MARVELLOUS"
 It has taken some time to star the machinery for harneSsina the woman power of the country to the war effort. If conscription has been needed, this does not necessarily imply that women were reluctant to do their share. A large percentage of them were merely waiting for instructions. On the other hand, it would be foolish to deny that many women

Liberty magazine says that it wasn't rash of f1agitts that caused all the impor- tant national magazines to appear in July with handsome pictures of the Stars and Stripes on their covere. That it was the result of patriotic conspiracy" fostered by tho Natio ional Publi shers Association.
 We note that the boys and girls of the 4-H clubs in the Valley are being taught the history of our flag. That's a fine thing and we hope that the boys and girls are absorbing the facts they are told.
 The next paragraphs are from Liberty mag asines
 "How much do you know about the hi story of your flag? This would be a good time to ask yourself. Nc wore reminded about it. birth date some weeks ago when we illus trated article with a reproduction of the famous painting, Va darlington Crossing the Delaware. Promptly a letter, T am not qualified to argue with the article ,but I can punch hole in the picture. Abnft of Tashingt on is the Stars and Stripes. No such flag was in existence at the time. The flag carried by Wa shingt on's troops on that night consisted of l3 stripes, with the crosses of St. George and St Andrew in the space where the stars are now. The man who painted the picture simply forgot when the flag made of stars and stripes came int o being.'
 ". As matter of fact he was right. Washington crossed the Delaware on chri etmas night, 177e. The Stars and Stripes became the nat iona1 flag by Congre onal resolu- tion you look up the date."
 End of quote.
 That left us up Q tree, so to speak, so we got out our World Almanac. It sayss "a flag with l3 stripes and l3 stars was auth orised on June IA, 1777 and cont inued to be used as the ationa1 emblem until Congress passed the following act, which President Washington signed.

 "Vith the admi ssion of more new states however, it became apparent that the l795 flag would have to be further nodi- fled, hence in 1918 law wos passed by Congress providing,

 "That on the admi ssio on of every new state into the union, one star be added to the uni of the flag; and that such addition shall take effect on the fourth of July next succeeding such admi ssio on."
