A ' .Arid-yet how many Americans are sufficiently well acquainted with th oriirin and history of "Old Glory" to be able to recall that tomorrow' wilfbe the centennial anniversary of the adoption of the American flag m its present lonn tne nag consisting oi inir teen horizontal stripes of alternate red and white, representing the thirteen original States, with la white star in a blue field for each Stutft of th a Union. '-' T Naturally, there were many forms of early flags, especially co lonial types used by the individual colonies and militia regiments before 4he flag of the United was established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. This act required that the flag ofthe United States be of thirteen alternate red and white stripes, and that the union be thirteen white, stars on a blue field, representing a new constellation, but it did not define how many points the stars should have, how they; should be arranged, nor make provision for additional ones. ( - The men whe fc.arved the nation from the chaos of political strife did not foresee the possibilities of forty-eight commonwealths when they designed-the flag. All the empire their minds could then compass was hedged about by the territory of other nations. So when new States began to appear, it was decreed that a new stripe and a new star be added fot each newcomer. V By 1818, when territorial expansion was proceeding on a stu pendous scale, it was seen that the flag was about to become an unlovely, i cumbersome af f airj for it then had twenty stars and twenty stripes, so Congress enacted a law that gave us the flag of today thirteen stripes for the original colonies, and stars arranged in parallel lines on the union, one for each State as it was admitted. Tho War Department determines the order in which the stars are to be placed, and the revised flag comes into official use the Fourth of July following the admission of the State bringing the star. ' Many styles and forms of the stars and stripes flag were in existence up to 1842, and it was not pntil President Taft's adminis tration that definite specifications were drawn up. On October 29, 1912, an .executive order concerning the flag was made and it pro vided for the specific arrangement of the stars. They were td be arranged in six horizontal rows of eight stars each. Starting in the upper left-hand corner and placing each row from left to right, lthe star corresponding to each btate is named in the order of the States ratification of the Constitution. - The following list show at a glance which State is represented by each star: ' First Row No.,1, Delaware; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, New Jersey; 4, ueorgta ; 5, Connecticut ; 6, Massachusetts ; 7, Maryland ; 8, South Carolina. - ; ii 'Second RowNo. 9, New Hampshire; 10, , Virginia; 11, New York; 12, North Carolina; 13, Rhode Island; 14, Vermont; 15, Jventucky; lb, Tennessee. . i .V Third Row No. 17, Ohio; 18, Louisiana; 19, Indiana; 20, Mis . sissippi ; 21, Illinois ; 22, Alabama ; 23.

The suggestion, made by Gertrude Dodds Treher and John S. McGroaty, is of commanding fores and 'should be answered with religious and pa triotic enthusiasm. It is like a call to arms which none of us can fall or hesitate to obey. It seems to be of divine origin : and authority and to bo faultlessly adapted to conditions and needs. The spirit of patriotism dominates the, hearts and minds of the people and the love of liberty is like the fire in the bush which burned and was cot consumed. We are accustomed to the ringing cf bells and alert to its meaning. We are swayed by the sounds that' flow out from our enureses ana the schoolhouses and roll 'onward like the waves of the great, ocean. And we respond to their calls, with alac rity and delight, Our churches and schools are distributed all over the slate and the calls of their ringing bellr. are heard by all the people. Let those bells all rjng simultane ously and every loyal heart in all the state will thrill with exalted pur poses. Forces are multiplied by concert of movement. One Is equal to a thousand, but .wo can put 10, 000 to. flight. And a thousand strong-toned bells ringing all at,oncc and for jtbe same cause will be an irrtslstible Influence in anv land. We need that inspiration to high atld holy purposes. The people of state need it. loyal and devout And to be all called at the same time to think the same high ?nd noble thoughts, and to cherish the same exalted purples, will lift us to a higher plane of character and effort. And we have the church es and the schoolhouse with their bells all ready' to ring out their mel odies in the grandest concert ever beard beneath the skies. ' - And we have the responsive people and the moat sacred cause that ever called for human consecration an J courage. Let history record that the bell ringing noveraent was a success.

The paper was sent to V. F. Spiller, of this city, by his nephew, Sergt. Oscar Harrison. The article, which wilt be reatf with interest, follows: Samuel J. Klrkwood, Secretary of the Interior in the cabinets of Pres idents Garfield and Arthur- while War Governor of Iowa, in the year If 61, made a speech from the step1, of the old Capitol bulld'ng in which he said In substance: ' 'These are troublesome times anl there are traitors and spies in our midst who would destroy this Unloa. if any man in this state Is a traitor to the 'cause or insults the flag, thoor him In the act, or in the. utter ing of the word. I am the Governor, our pardon awaits you." What the United Stales needs at the present time Is rorty-eight War Governors like Samuel J. Klrkwood. As a people we have too much ex in our Cosmos. We do a big thing in a big way but frequently neglect the details. Just now we are on the biggest Job the world has evr known, and it Is up to us to get down to the materialistic and utili tarian.

Italy gave the world the wireless. and from the day the first word jar- reri the virgin eons of the atmo sphere, Germany has been setting up great wireless stations on ' alien tbores or the avowed purpose of de ploying democracy., : The United States gave the world an Edison a wizard with a thou- eard wonders, a Holland with the first submarine (which Germany re fused to buy but stole outright), the Wright Brothers, the first pioneers of the air. Germany took up the uondrous deeds of 4hese and other great men, dressed the.n in German clothes', and said to the world: "Be hold! we are the efficient" and said it so often the world came to believe it. She hired our newspapers to "propagate her Kultur and pave the way for what has happened. And, folks at home, keep your eyes eer and anon on the newspapers and the men who before the war fa vored 'the German cause. The jingle of the dollar helps the hurt that honor feels "The yolcs was the voice of Jacob, but the hanj was the hand of Esau.' A mother in Belgium saw a Ger man approaching her home.

She said: "How strange I thought ail Germans were tad. I am pleased to know that yoi are a gentleman. Do you know that when I first saw you I hid my chin dren?" "So?" replied the German, "I too fcave children. Let me see yours." Whereupon the fond mother called up the treasures of her heart from the cellar, only to set them both shot dead at her feet. In the hiatus of ber gHef she told the story to her rfeirtibcrs but now she tells it to. the bars of her win dow in a madhouse. This number of "The Spiker" will ub to many of you, "Foiks at Home."
