TODAY IS NATIONAL FLAG DAY
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress resolved
that the flag of the United States of America be 13
stripes alternating red and white, and that the union be 13
white stars on a blue field, representing “a new constel
lation.” On Jan. 13, 1794, by an act of Congress the flag
was altered to 15 red and white stripes, and 15 stars. On
July 4,1818, Congress again altered the flag by returning
to the original 13 stripes and 15 stars, as the adding of a
new stripe for each additional State would soon make the
flag too unweildly. The new star is added to the flag on
each July 4, following the admission of each State into the
Union.
Following the decision of the Continental Congress
in respect to a national flag, a committee, including
George Washington, Robert Morris and George Riss,
called upon Betsy Ross of Philadelphia and invited her to
undertake the sewing. She agreed, and it was on her
suggestion that the five-point rather than the six-point
star was used. Mrs. Ross then contracted to make all
the government flags and the business continued in her
family until 1857.
Thus today we observe the 150th anniversary of the
adoption of the national emblem, the shield of the op
pressed, guardian of liberty and the emblem of a glorious
nation created not by war lords and despots, but by the
common people, of which each is an integral part and
upon whom the responsibility rests to keep the flag untar
nished and representative of all for which it was created.

LOCAL MED TO PRAT
FOR RAID ANO SUN
These men Shellhorn and Holhen
are work horses for sure. Not satis
fied with the volunteer work already
done on the local baseball park they
issued another call for arms last
night to which a number responded,
and for two hours recklessly scat
tered clay over the infield. Unlike
the majority of local citizens Messrs. !j
Shellhorn and Holben are praying;
for rain in order that the clay and |
gravel may mix. After the rain'
they are going to pray for sun to
dry it out. Lets hope their prayers
are answered.
FIRE MEETING
All members of the Seward Volun
teer Fire Department are ordered to
be on tap tonight at 8 o’clock sharp!
at the fire hall.
Signed,Chief GUEST.
The whales that were seen in the \
bay Sunday apparently were quite
deceptive. Reports have it that the
whales in size ran from -10 to 200
feet in length?

Seldom is a stage player privileged
to protray in a film production a
character for which he is celebrated
in the realm of spoken drama. H.
B. Warner, however, enjoys the good
fortune of the privileged few in
“Silence.” for he plays the same
role in Beulah Marie Dix’s screen
version of Max Marin’s crook melo
drama that won him acclaim in the
sensational run of eight months in
the play enjoyed on Broadway. Rup
ert Julian directed the picture which
will be shown at the Liberty Theatre
tonight.
Mr. Warner is featured as Jim
Warren in the picture and he has
for his crooked pal, Raymond Hatton,
who plays the role of Harry .Silvers.
Hatton is famed for his portrayal of
sneaky crook parts, and those who
watched bis work in “Silence” say he
“fills the bill a million” in this pro
duction. Charming Vera Reynolds is
seen in the feminine duel lead op
posite Warner.
Other featured players in the pro
duction include Rockcliffe Fellows,
Jack Mulhall and Virginia Pearson.
The story is highly dramatic and the
scenes are exceptionally thrilling and
appealing.
Special deliver of freshly baked
goods from 11 a. m. to 12 o’clock and
from 4 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
