It is not only the emblem of our country but an emblem of civilization and progress wherever it floats, and *it floats today from every Softool house in the land, instead of being displayed on special occasions.

Our first work for Rensselaer was the presentation of a large flag 15x25 feet .to float from the spire of our Court House, on all Xational 1 lolidays. W’e have marked one Revolutionary soldier’s gmve. that of Samuel Moore who was buried in Smith Cemetery, Barklev township, this comity having placetl a marker with the insignia of our chapter and the work of fimiing anti marking graves is still going on. Any person knowing of an unmarked Revolutionary soldier’s grave will confer a favor by informing us. Gen. Van Rensselaer Chapter has placed two fine patriotic pictures in the public schools, ami it is our purpose to present others in the future. The Jasper Public Library has been the recipient of two large stacks for holding books and books to considerable value placed thereon. It is

our cherished plan to place a bronze bust of Annrew Carnegie in the Library. and toserve our town, state and nation in anv way we may be called upon.Our Chapter is named for the father of the founder of our town — Gen. Robert Van Rensselaer—and meets the 26th day of each ihohth? as a mark of respect to his birthday. Our state meeting is in October and the national meeting in April of each year, and no one will doubt the influence wedded by 60,000 loyal women banded together for a

•eottHwem pur|M>se. .And anv other work this great society may be called upon to do for this country in the future like the mothers of the revolution day the Daughters of the American Revolution of todav will willingly perform. .Mrs. EnwAßb P. Hox.w, Historian Gen. Vanßensselaer Chapter, D. A. F.

The Daughters of the American Revolution are the descendants of men made Worthy by' heroic deeds. These men who settled thtrwTfrterncssof

our country felt that they held from God the Charter of the Soil. They brought with them from their native shores the seed of a Republic, carefully they rfurtured that seed through .more than a hundred years, leaf by leaf they watched it grow, and bud by bud they saw it unfold.

I hey know the—past, the future is rich in promise and it all signifies, one flag, one country and one God. A careful re\ icw of the annual conference reports reveals an astonishingly large area of pro<iuctivenes&.- -The work -of each chapter- was-considered individually ’and its lilies'pf _ activity classified. .It was Lien G’.md that the work of the states as a whole would come under* twenty general heads. It was seen that a large chapter, -with increased—funds clue to its membership is in a position to assume. great respmsibilities while the small Chapters have opportunities which, may be denied her larger sisters. But when a Chapter has neither size nor Historial Setting it must depend entirely upon xin-imuiLanijtoumL,its ability to grasp tht: psychological moment. I'Hiei gluptci s have"' turnecEtheir energies in the following direction. They have devoted themselves to Patriotic settlement work forming Mother Clubs and Boys Clubs known as children of the American Republic. They have located the graves of Revolutionary Soldiers, marked them and held memorial services over them. They have cooperated with Historical Societies, They have cidlectecLEibraries and made donations to Libraries. They have founded and maintained the American in Manila. Thev have given patriotic, historic and constitutional lectures, to Eoreigners, helping to prepare them for citizenship. Thev have pursued culture studies in music and literature. They have inculcated American History by means of award tn “the children of the Public School.

They have founded chairs in Colleges, aml impressed thC"event ot history by,locating and markinghistoric sites. They have taken part in the general charitable work of their home cities, endowing beds in hospitals; founding homes for the aged and during 7 our late war with Spain they assumed the ‘‘Red Cross,” movement. They have given donations to civic improvement societies. I'hey have presented pictures, ant historic documents, to the

Public Schools. They have undertaken historical research with pronounced success. It is the purpose of the Chapter workers to develop aesthetic patriotism, by reconstructing, aided by revolutionary collection, the domestic . interiors, manners, costumes and dress of Colonial times, thus bringing to the mind, through the medium of realistic pictures of the past, the comfort and elegance’ of homes of our grandsires. The collections of antique furniture, articles or collection, of ’ solid silver vessels engraved with family crests,grandsires portraits, in powdered wigs, ruffled skirts, and flowing stocks, laces as finely wtwen as midsummer cobwebs, silks brocaded. Men in those .‘days wore steel armor as though it were cloth. There is no record elsewhere of such achievement as the building of the, Memorial Continental Hall, ■ (Continued on Another Pige.)
