The day was first recognized when the governor of New York ordered that the stars and stripes be -raised on all public buildings in the state June 14, 1897, the 117th anniversary of the adoption by congress of the present national emblem. This action was taken by the governor at the request of the Sons of the Revolution. On the same date the day was also fittingly observed in Philadelphia under the auspices of the Colonial Dames of America. In the early days of the American revolution there was no general standard for the colonies but in 1777 the continental congress appointed a committee to consider and report on the subject. On June 14 of that year, congress passed a resolution that the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternately white and red and that the union be represented by 13 white stars on a blue field. There i sa striking resemblance between the design and the coat of arms of the Washington family, which consisted of three stars in the upper portion and three bars running across the escutcheon. It is believed by many that the American flag was derived from this heraldic design. According to tradition General’Washington, who was a member of the committee appointed by congress, took a rough sketch of the proposed de sign to a Mrs. John Ross, an upholsterer noted for her neatness as a seam stress. The story runs that the stars in the design had six points but Mrs. Ross preferred stars with five points. With a clip of her scissors she deftly cut out a five pointed star for Washington and other members of the committee who were so.well pleased with it that they at once accepted the change. Mrs. Ross then made a flag which was approved by congress. It was raised at once in Philadelphia and the design was immediately copied by patriots everywhere. When Kentucky and Vermont were admitted into the union in 1794 the stars and stripes were each increased to 15 but in 1818 congress voted to restore the original 13 stripes and to add a new star on the Fourth of July following the admission of each new state. In presenting the original design to congress the committee explained its symbolism as follows: The stars of the flag represent the constellation of states rising in __ west. ____ The _______ the idea _________________ is taken from the great constellation of Lyra which in the hand of Orpheus signifies harmony. The blue in the field is borrowed from the edges of the covenanters’ banner in Scotland, significant of the league covenant of the United States against oppression and incidentally invoking the virtues of vigilance, perseverance and justice. The stars are disposed in a circle symbolizing the perpetuity of the union, the ring like the serpent of the Egyptians signifying eternity. The 13 stripes show with the stars the number of the united colonies and denote the subordination of the states to the union. The whole is the blending of the various flags of the army and the white ones of the floating batteries. The red color which in the Roman days was the signal of defiance denotes daring and the white denotes purity. Flag Day comes on Monday this year, June 14th.

However, we were very willing to give it a fair trial and see if it was possible to keep the price as it is at present. It was necessary for us to order a ton of news paper, and when we received the quotations on the ton, then figured the amount of revenue from subscriptions, there was nothing else for us to do but to raise the price of subscriptions to 32.00 a year. We also agreed that it would only be fair to our subscribers to give them plenty of notice that the price would advance. So we are advertis- ng the fact a month ahead. The subscription price of the Herald will be 2.00 a year, on and after the first of July, 1920. The Herald Is about the only paper left in the State of Oregon, or the entire Pacific Northwest for that matter, that is now selling for $1.50 a year, and it is our desire to let all those who care to take advantage of the present price to do so this month. In another part of the paper will be found an order for a year’s sub scription. Fill in the blank lines and mail it to us with your check or poet office money order for $1.50 and the Herald will come to you for anther year at the old price. Hotel prices are too high in Chicago. Reports say delegates will not tarry, but will work fast and leave the windy city and its high prices. Too bad the same thing couldn’t happen to congress in Washington.
