The model made by Mrs. Ross was adopted as the official flag of the United State by act of congress passed on June 14, 1777. It consisted oj thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, with thirteen stars in a blue field. The thirteen stripes denote the thirteen original colonies ; its red denotes courage; its white, purity; its blue, loyalty and devotion, and its stars, high aspirations and federal union. The flag is known as Old Glory, Stars and Stripes, Banner, and the Red, White and Blue. The, arrangement of the stars on the flag is regulated by law and executive order. An executive order, issued October 26, 1912, provided for 48 stars to be arranged in six horizontal rows of eight five-point- MISCELLANEOUS ed Star-Spangl- - OPTIMISM All through the year glad joy and cheer Makes every new day bright; And while you sleep the angels keep Their vigil oer the night. ed In quiet shade and verdant glade Brings joyous happy hours : The violets by a mossy bank Look upward as you pass; On downy sod the lilies nod While waving mong the grass. , 1 , Delaware; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, New Jersey; 4, ; 6, Massachusetts ; 7, Maryland ; 8, South Connecticut Georgia 5, Carolina.

Winton, district representative of the Playground and Recreational Association of America, just prior, to leaving Provo j s When the sun is softly sinking In the west at eventide, Trustingly may we be thinking; In Gods love may we abide : At night, at dawn, or at the noon-daAs we wander oer lifes way May we live in Heavens favor And from truth go not astray. s Saturday, reiterated his statement of the preceding day that Utah is further advanced in the line of organized and supervised recreational work than any other state in the Union, and in this line has a distinct contribution to make to the world. Mr. Wintonthinks he has found the reason for this condition in the organization of the dominant church. He sees in the various auxiliary organization and in the close cooperation of the different ward units ideal machinery for taking up any and every noteworthy undertaking and putting it over as no less intricately organized Community could do. He was especially profuse in his praises of such united activity as he found in Utah. Mr. Winton is not the first leader in community service to recognize the opportune situation existing in this state. W. C. Bradford, who was in charge of the community singing in the army during the war, expressed the same opinion as Mr. Vjfinton. President F. S. Harris, on his recent trip east, had occasion to bring the local church organization and its function in fostering praiseworthy projects to the attention of many prominent educators. They were unanimous in pronouncing their stamp of approval on the system existing here as ideal to the solution of the problems at hand. Yet, as Dr. Harris said, Utah has the machinery but she can learn a lot from the other cities and organizations, both religious Shown in Our Windows TRUST 9, I to To stroll among the woodlands fair Where blossom fragrant flowers left-han- .
