John Sundin, Tailor 347 mate Street Salem, Oregon Following is the Elk's tribute to the flag which was given by Bert "VV. Macy at the Fla.e. day exercises or the Salem Elks in Willson Park Friday Night: itrothers and Friends: 1b the sense that It has met unequal con ditions and withstood them, that it has challenged .unnumbered perils and conquered them, that it has en countered uncommon hardships an 4 surmounted them, the American flag may be said to be of the most heroic origin. The conflict la which it was born, and from which it rose to its nresent eminence, added more of luster to the annals of history and resulted in more of good to human kind than all of the tournaments, than all of the crusades, than all i me wars of the past. At first tin audacious piece of bunting, crudely woven and contra dictory in design, it thrived and ex panded nntil it gave to the world a new country, a new form of govern ment, a new model of citizenship. To the language of flags it contrib uted a new word, that of "Liberty. It gave a new definition of home, a new Ideal of the fireside, a truer man. Choosing as its primal task the subjugation of a vast wilderness. It became the chief geographer of the firmament, the chief pilot of the seas.' the chief trail maker of the forest, valley and the plain. It must have been foreordained that this flag should lead all others in the flight or the centuries, for It was the flag of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson; of John Adams. Ilenjaruin Franklin and Pat rick Henry: the flan of Betsey Ross, whose Quaker hands first fashioned It Into a robe of glory. Inspired by souls like these, kindled at shrines like these, the spirit of '76 became the spirit of all succeeding years. and the flag through which It spoke became the flag of Bunker Hill and Lundy's Lane; of Bnena Vista and Cbapulttepec; that blossomed and named in the snows of Alaska, anl anchored a watchflre upon the Is lands of' Hawaii: the same Hag that romped with freedom In. the bays of Manila and Santiago, and was planted in righteous defense upon the walls of China: the same flag that gashes the rock-ribbed moun tains and causes tht oceans to min gle their waters: the first flag that was born to represent a people rather than a monarch or a savage the flag that has never known a surrender; the flag that is destined to win the world from wrong ani greed; to banish unholy strife, to rave civilization, and to usher in the thousand years of peace. Of all the flags of history, the American. Hag is the greatest, the most benlficent. the most beautiful. Sporting in the evening breese. It Is a mosale or ribboned lovline&s: drooping in softer airs, its staff Is transformed Into a Maypole of festal delight. It is an honest flag, a be nevolent flag, a righteous (lag.

Its discoveries and inventions are In numerable. Do you think of it as history? It is a torch of learning, a lamp of experience, a colossal tome of achievement.

It ban dotted the land with arches, anl palaces, and domes, and statues. Do too think of it as music?

It enfolds the laughter of chldren. the breath of love, the courage of manhood, the hope and faith of age. Do yoa think of it in a more sacred relation? It Is at once a hymn, a precept, and a benediction.

Hall to this flag! Hall to this , riag or flags! Sometimes it Is railed the "Stars and , Stripes". Sometimes. "Red, White and IUue". Sometimes. It Is called .the ,4Star Spangled Banner". Sometimes and most affectionately, "Old Glory". Honoring its every name, rejoicing ia its record, believing In its mission, we do well to observe this anniver sary: we do well to cherish and ven erate this regal banaer. to keep alive its vestal fires, and to perpetuate Its power and glory; we do wII to yield onto it the tribute of flowers and song and story.

Plant lilies, and the whie of the flag will reappean wijh the constancy of the sunshine and the dew. Plant violets, and the blue of the flag will come again with vows of supernal remembrance. Hall, all hall to this Hag of Liberty! The flag of fae brave fathers and loving mothers of the republic! As it was their flag, so is it your flag, and mine. It is tl? flag of every American roortree. the flag of every American state. May It ever be the flag of that immortal Union of SUtes and Territories. Our Country! BURiefHEADS APOLLO CLUB New Organization to Giye First Concert at Opera House June 26. A new mnsleal feature will bo launched in Salem when the Salem Apollo club gives its first annual con at the Rrand opera hause, Wednes day night. June 26. rponcored by Justice George II. Burnett, who Is ths honorary president of this new club The concert will be an elaborate and delightful musical treat and will have as it ono woman Artist Mrs. I.ulu Dahl-Miller, a prominent' Port land soloist 5 John W. Todd, who I? firmly es tablished in Salem's monical circles will act as the musical director, lie has beon drilling the singers sinr th Inception of the elnb last March As a result of his capabl leadership an dMcady rehearsals, a notworthy program Is beia gworked onL The repertoire ranees from martial mu sic to sweet lullabies. Tht prerenc of Mrs. Iila Dahl- j.iT-r u i -oruasa wju r a raroJ ir-i to iocai mnsie l.-.vers it will be Mrs. Miller's initial appearance in Sale:n a well as the c!nVs Ini tial performance and no pains have been spared to start the concerts on a musically firn foundation. Mrs. Miller has a wondronsty rich con tralto vole and has appeared In many Portland productions besides belnr a leading soloist In northwest churches. No small ammnt of gratification has been evidenced b7 local people upon the organization of a local Apolla club. Several years back Sa lem's musical people invited the Portland Apollo -lub to sing here and that mammoth choir of men's voices has not been .forgotten. There is much good local talent noon v hlth to build a permanent similar organ ization In aSlem and with Mr. Todd at the head It will bo well worked op. Each rehearsal adds new men to its membership and the opening concert will find a lareg and enthus iastic group of singers. Although war service bss caused a heavy drain on available younger singers, a snfflcient number f good mature voice counterbalances the loss. Among the "finds' In Salem Is one or the newer members of the chorus, Kdwln I. Hoas. Mrs. Boas has a deep bass voice which is as true as the most woa derful instrument. Before coming to Oreson to "ranch It, he served for many years on the country's bet vaudeville circuits. Among his last appearances in the East was at the Keith's & Praetor's famous vaude ville house In New York. The personnel of the clnb Is as follows: Frank Hughes, John W. Todd, Rev. II. C. Stover. Frank De Witt. J. D. Humphreys, W. T. Jenks. Rev. Robert S. II1G. H. V. Rross. II. N. Aldrieh. Ralph Jones, Albert Dan Langenberg. Paul Irvln, p. : Dcekabaeh. Claude H. Stevcnsoa i Edwin L Do as.
