As the flag of these United States is now playing such a part in the history of nations, and being herself a sovereign .nation, without a peer, this article from the Philadelphia Record will explain the centennial of the final adoption of the present United States flag, and will be read with interest. Our Flag's Centennial. (From the Philadelphia Record.) Our flag was different in 1818. True the good, old red, white and blue colors were there. So were the stripes; but there was 15 stripes instead of 13, as at first and now. $ The early custom was - to add a stripe and a star for every new State admitted to the union. , When Vermont and Kentucky came in, that made 15 stripes and a group of 15 stars in the blue field. Congress-met and decided to go back to the original plan of 13 stripe3 and thereafter to add only a star tol the1 flag for a new State. There were 20 stars needed then, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and Mississippi having joined the sis terhood of States in the greatest re public the world has ever seen. "There were the famous "Appeal to Heaven" and the "Pine Tree" flags. Our first striped flag made the com bined crosses of St. George and St Andrew on the field. , Our first national flag had 12 striped nd it had a constellation of 13 stars. The first act, which is still in force, . to establish the flag of the United States, provided that "on the admis- RYPTO GLASSES tTHE INVISIBLE BIFOCALS Afford a comfort which is appreciated by those who want near or fa- 7ision tn one pair of glasses. i'They keep your eyes young in looks , as well as in usefulness.

America is quickening . and stimu lating the creative ehibryo as nevei before, since we have entered the de fense in this great strife; music, poetry, science, and invention, all con tribute of their store. Here ia the latest along individuality" of thought, won as a prize for the. best American creed, submitted and Won by a South ern lad. The article appeared in the Charlotte Observer. "Washington, April 3. 'The Ameri can Creed, for which the city of Baltimore offered a prize of $1,000 was made public here today, v Its se lection was the result of a "national citizens' creed contest' approved bj President Wilson, Speaker Clark' and a host of famous Americans. Tha winner is William Tyler Pag, ol Friendship Heights, .Md., near Wash ington. It read: "The American's creed I believe in the United States of America a . gov ernment of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the gov erned; k democracy In a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and in senarable : established upon those inrinxtnlaa nf frooHiim ontiaHtv intir.ft Jllii-iJJitJ V- " ww.., "Tl "J J and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. "I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and lo defend it against all enemies." The idea of laying emphasis on the duties and obligations of citizenship in a national creed originated with Henry S. Chapin and was first an nounced by him in September, 1916. The creed awarded the prize was selected from several thousand sub mitted. 1 William Tyler Page, the committee on awards announced, is a descendant of a President of the United States, John Tyler, and of a signer of the American Declaration of Independ ence, carter araxton. we was Dorn in Frederick, . Md., the birthplace of Francis Scott Key." Third Liberty Loan The great "spring drive" is on for our part in the Third Liberty Loan, the Daughters of the Confederacy have nobly supported their govern ment in this, as in all other demands made for service. They are never slacker. The blood and fire of patriot ism is alive in them as in their moth ers' time when the call of the South ang through our loved land, and they were never slackers and neither are their daughters today. We will be called upon to do even more before freedom , rings from every nations' belfry. From the President Genera!. To the United Daughters of the Con federacy. A ward in the American Military Hospital No. 1 at Neuilly, France, en dowed by the United Daughters of The Confederacy, is an assured fact for Easter day, 1918. In your president General's March letter to the Vet eran she expressed the hopa that this would be your accomplishment by Easter day, and you have realized that great hope. In the March Veteran reported as completed the gen eral U. D. C. bed in honor of Jeffer son Davis and the South Carolina bed in honor of Wade Hampton. On February 11 Virginia completed her bed endowment in honor of Gen. R. E. Lee, then followed in rapid 3uc cession the following beds, completed and paid for: Arkansas, in honor of Gen. Patrick Cleburne; Arkansas IT, in memory of Richard Jackson; North Carolina, in honor of Zebulon .13. Vance; J3hreveport, La., chapter, to honor General Beauregard; Georgia, to honor Gen. John B. Gordon; Cali fornia, to honor Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson; and Georgia II, in memory of Shappen Mitchell. And thus, you see, our first ward at Neuilly is as sured for 1918. I want to call .your attention espe cially to the General Beaturegard bed, endowed by the Shereveport Chapter U. D. C, with only 170 members, and I also want to mention the fact that our most valued and devoted first vice president general, Mrs. Peter Youree, is its president, a fitting lead er for so splendid a group, of work ers. With tMs concrete work before us, we must see our duty clear to main tain this ward at Neuilly until peace eomes back to earth. Such work finds an echo In every U. D. C. heart. Too many letters have come to. your presi dent general from tireless workers in our ranks which tell of sons or broth ers or nephews , giving their all in France at the country's call to make me doubt for one instant the personal appeal to this work. We have put our hands to a great task, one that we understand and appreciate the need for, and it is a art of our inherit ance that we shall stand faithful tu it unto the end. Our efficient central committee . So war lclief. with Mrs. J. A. Roun.ree, 1SC0 -Eleventh avaue, Birmingham, Ala. di cti i with marvelous exec utive and organizing ability as chair man, issued a tun ana detailed cir cular to State presidents and State war relief directors late in February. This "circular, If followed carefully, will classify and record our work "as a great national patriotic society. Your , president general urges you to comply strictly with all of Mrs. Roun tree's instructions, for in the end you will find there is a good reason for each one of them. Limit your war re lief work to that set before you by this central committee, and then you can rest jn? jured that you are spend ins voiw iiergy and Iov fnr jcouttr sQeftr and in directions .w4r UILMINGTON DISPATCH, the greatest , needa ara vat I present.

The Confederate Flag Your presi dent general'3 rurVmtion has' beon milieu to a notice in the Februi.y Veteran, "A Tribute tb Our Boys," which was causing some confusion and criticism in certain parts of our country. By correspondence with Mrs. Birdie A.. Owen, president Tennessee division, U. D. C, whose idea v it was to try to pay the highest tribute known to the U. D. C, to the boys in khaki they should use the U. D. C. colors, red, white, and red, attached to such floral offerings- as they might care to send t for such sad occasions. Necrology The announcement of the death of Mrs. Edgar D. Taylor, of Richmond, Va,, for many years the faithful and efficient treasurer of the Davis Monument Association, U.I D. C, will come as a personal Borrow to hundreds of U. D. C.'s who work ed with Mrs. Taylor for bo many years. Her gentleness and ' courtesy are a blessed memory for our associa tion to cherish as an ideal for Its membership now and in the future. As the days lengthen with the re' turn of spring and preparations- for State conventions begin to engage our attention, let me remind you all to map out at these conventions definite war relief work for - your di visions for the coming year, to take pledges for these plans as adopted, and to be careful in selecting them that they have the approval of the central committee. Let me also recall to your minds that a part of the war relief work of ths U. IX C, with their gaze into the future, is the spepedy completion of the flfty-thousand-dollar educational endowment fund, which will be a source of restoration in many families where gaps may have been made by war's grim hand. Let our minds gras clearly the speci fied needs of the hour and provide for these needs at your State conveh conventions. With abiding faith in your patriot ism, generosity, and ability to com plete whatever you set your hearts to build, I am, yours faithfully, Mary B. Poppenheim. Confederate Money Wanted. A unique feature of the coming general reunion of Confederate Vet erans, is the paying off of Confeder ate Veterans , in "good old Confeder ate money." The paymaster. Gen. J. M. Williams, waats a good supply on hand. Send him now, what you can contribute to the fund Address, 587 Linden avenue, Memphis. Tenn. Of course as I see it, this is a humorous feature. Youngest Red Cross Worker. Perhaps the youngest Red Cross worker is the three and one-half year old daughter of the vice president of the Shelby Daughters of the Con fed; eracy, little Miss Sarah Elizabth Thompson. Little Miss Thompson's picture with the following appoared in Sunday's issue of the Charlotte observer: "Shelby, April 6 Shelby take3 pride in presenting little Miss Sarah Elizabeth Thompson, who is perhaps the youngest knitter for the American Red Cross. Just three and a half years old, little Miss Thpmpson is a member of the Shelby chapter and is a fre quent visitor to the work room. She goes with her mother, cajrries her Knitting Dag ana wmie she knits for the soldiers, sitsin a chair and con verses intelligently with adult mem- Ders. bne has knitted a number of wash rags and not a stitch is dropped. These have been sent to soldiers in r ranee ana win continue to go over the seas" to the boys at the front as fast as Miss Thompson can prod 129 them. She learned the art of knitting under the skillful direction of her mother, Mrs. Carl Thompson, and while her age is less than four y'ears, she mastered the art in an incredibly short length of time." ffeetirs fa tMttfM noBBturftl discharges; painless, non- poisonous and will not atrtetnm.

Directions for Operating- Tig. 1 In this form the Fowler Is used after plowing and Qjrrowing to prepare a seed bed. All the fine soil slips between the upper and lower blades, forming a seed bed which is a perfect mulch. All clods, trash or stones, unable to pass through the narrow space between, the upper and lower blades, slide along to the ends o the blades and are left in the middies between the rows. In doing this the upper blades move Just above the surface of the ground -.nd act like fenders. Norther cutivator will remove from the seed bed all clods, stones and trash and leave a perfectly level surface consisting only of fine pulverized soil, in which to plant the seed. The Fowler is also used in this for n, when run deep, to throw up a raised seed bed, completing the bed at one trip through. Directions for. Operating Fir- 9 With the Plow Foot in the center removed the Fowler is used for early cultiva tion astride the row; barring off and cultivating both sides of the row at one trip through. By the action of the upper Blades only fine pulverized soil is left on either "side of the growing plant. All grass and weeds are cut off and left on the surface to die. The Fowle leaves a perfectly level surface behind it, entirely free 'rom little furrows which von!d cause washing during heavy rains. In a -dry season the -fine tfust mulch made by this Cultivator conserves the' moisture and plant food and yet offers an ideal surface ior receiving even the slightest rainfall. This work astride the row can be done with one horse by bitching to the sids clevis. , Directions for Operating Fig. 8 When plants become too large for cultivating astride the row a short Blade Is attached on the right to throw the fine mulch prepared by previous cultivations to the roots of the . growing plant. In this case the Plow Foot is replaced and the long Blade on the left destroys all weeds and further pulverizes the soil between the rows. Note that the upper Blades are taken off for this work. As all trash and clods have been removed from the proximity of the plants by the previous cultiva tions astride the row nothing is now left within reach of the short Blade but a, flne . dust mulch which is thrown to the roots. The clods and trash previously thrown to the middles now slip over the Blade without leaving their place in the center be tween the rows. Directions for Operating Fig. 4 For late cultivation, to keep down the final growth of weeds and vines and to break the hard crust forming after rains, only the long lower Blades are used. These Blades move parallel to and above the roots of the crop, , which toward ma turity come close to the surface. The Cultivator Blades do not injure these roots although completely destroying all grass, weeds and vines. Other cultivators run across the crop roots and -deep, enough to destroy majy of them, making late cult ivation With such tools ImDOSSible.
