Now let one i that is here and knows at least some 0f the work that ihey are doing, give you an inside view to the situation The Y. M. C. A. means exactly to the army what the church means to us in civilian life. They are ever ready to help a fellow when he is all down and out. They furnish us with stationery and get stamps for us so we don't have nf ;frt uoK:fH , . ivw, jwu ii4vc sun, urovner or iriend in the army and would love help hlm try t0 do his duy and live a. uvu inc. iiciu mis cush: it vnu don't have any interest in them don't do anything, but just remember this, that in helping in this cause you are not only upholding Democracy but you are fitting the men to show the people of the foreign countries that we are in truth a christian nation and one standing for religiods freedom and principle that our forefathers of old set up and established for us. And too when that boy of yours comes home you want to greet him and kiss lips as clean and feel the heart throbs as pure and as innocent as when you sent him away with that prayer at the call of his country. Now is .your time to help him so do your part arid see if the boys don't do theirs. Come across with a big donation for the Y. M. C.

Oak Hill scfiiftl lremhr $th; 1917.), - , This is a story quite generally be lieved, that the first .flag was plan&ei and made in 1776 by Betsy Ross, " :ept an upholstery sho on Arch street Philadelphia, and a, year later was a- i coiuinittee appointed id designa- fiat- t . wnal flag consisted of Gcdrge ingjton, Robert Morris and Colonel George Hoss, uncle 1 of the late hus band of Betsy Ross., Th star that tH't committee decided upon had six points, but Mrs. Ross adrised the five pointed star, which has ever been used in & United States Flag. The Flag de signed was colored by a local artist, thirteen colonies, with the motto, "Joi or Die." When the colonies becante more united in their purpose of resis tance to British rule, they placed upon their flag a rattle snake in the atti tude of striking, with the motto, "Don't Tread on Me." .h, Th3 next form of the Unitett States flag was our present standard, the stars and stripes. On June 14, 1777 be Continental congress resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes red and white, that the Union be thirteen white stars on a blue, field representing a new constellation. On January 13, 1794 by an act of con gress the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes and fifteen stars. On April 4, 1818 congress altered the flag by returning to the original thir teen stripes and fifteen stars "as the adding of a new stripe for each addi tional state would soon make the flar to unwieldly. new star is added to the flag on July 4, following the ad mission of each state into the Union. To honor, protect and display the pag on appropriate occasions, Flag Day, June 14, originated Feb. 12, 1898 with the Congress of National Patriot- ic Societies. Y. M. C.
