JEWELL COUNTY RECORO 8A
By Fawna Barrett
Oh. in know bird language. Sunday
afternoon, there were nonstop bird
tweets rlnglntz from the old cedar tree.
What fun it would have been m inter-
pret their ,'hwping.
About the same time, two large
birds, probably vultures, flew so high
that onlytheirshadows skimmed across
the yaxd alld field, dashing here and
there before disappearing.
Addi ng to I he u oi.-~ werethe sound~
from a chain s~v, pick up~ gokng I~ and
fro, a mower or two and a swather ~.n
1he alfalfa field. On this beautiFJl.
breezy day. pe~p~e were taki~,g advan-
tage of good weather as they tended to
crops and tasks which needed &me.
The arnma from the l~ewly innwn hay
was delightful as well.

Man Rendezvous

Saturday round reenactur Gone
Barnes orKeats eucamped at II~ Moun.
tam Men Rendezvous held on the
grounds of the Pawnee Indian Mu-
seum Slate H~slorical Site r~ar Repub-
lic.
Between the canlpsi~e Barnes had
organized and the next camp sttnx], a
v.'t~ ~ flagpole flying a repiic a of the
"SlorSpangled Banner" flag.This flag,
with t5 stars and 15 stripes, was the
flag orthe United Stales between 1795
and 1818.
This was the flag of the Lewis and
Clark E~pedilion. Fhgs like il were
flying when the mountain men first
began ex p]ori~g the Rocky Mounlains.
Btlt it was also the flag of Forl
McHenry. The flag that had Francis
Scott Key's attention in the "'dawn's
early ~igbt" when he penned t~ words
of the +'Star Spangled Banner '"
Ttm first US flag, the "Betsy Ross"
flag, had a star ~trd a stripe tbr each ~t
tim 13 original state The sta.~ welt in
a circle in the bhie field. When Ver-
mont and Kentncky became slates, the
concepl of a star and stripe for each
state was~oatinued. However theeon-
figuration of the stars in the field of
biue was changed from that ofa circ|e
lo the nr~W familiar rows of stars.
By the time Missisfippi l'~ea]Ite the
2Oth state in 1818. a s~pe for each
state was no longer a viable option, It
was decided that the next and future
flags would.have 13stripes.Thestripes
would represent the 13 original states
but addilionally each state wotfld be
represented hy a star
Today our flag still has 13 stripes,
butS0 slats are an'ayed iu the blue field
symbolizing the .~} state~ which make
up our repuhli .
