Each Star Represents Some Individual State.

While everyone knows that the thirteen stripes on the American .Sag represent the thirteen original colonies, and the forty-eight stars in the blue field represent each Etate, perhaps there are many who do not know that each star represents an individual state. An executive order was made on October 25, I sl2, providing for the specific arrangements of the stars. Starting in the upper left hand corner and placing each row from left to right, the star corresponding to each state is named in the order of the state’s ratification of the con.Etitution. Thus star No. 1, in the upper left hand corner, is for Delaware, and star No. 48, in the lower right hand corner, Is for Arizona. The position of the other stars and the

I "ThlkinQ about I Non-Skid Tires I! WA ll \ fl It seems to me that some tire manufacturers \ 71 just cut out the raised tread pattern on their \/■ tires with a jig-saw at random; while others flF< fl figure out the tread formation as common fl sense directs. fl The Diamond “Squeegee Tread” is surely a fl B “reason why” tread.

The vivid stripes of the flag are emblematic of the life blood of brave men who gave their lives in defense of it, and the stars which shine on forever and forever. There are certain forms of eti-

quette which should be heeded when it comes to showing our flag all proper and fitting respect. The flag should not be used for advertising purposes and most certainly not be. draped and tied up into various portiere effects. No other flag should be hung on the same halyards with our flag, and, however hung, it must have its Union side to the left. A flag should be put up at sunrise and taken down at sunset and never allowed to remain aloft at night except during a battle, and this applies only to the flags over forts and ships in action. A flag should never be allowed to touch the .ground,, Following is the pledge of allegiance to the flag, and should be read aloud: I pledge allegiance to my flag, And the Republic for which it stands, Onq Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.

MRS. J. G. MORRIS OBITUARY

Sarah Jane Davis, daughter of Thomas J. Davis and Maria Ball Davis, was born January 3, 1 843, near Connersville, Fayette eount~y,

Indiana, and passed to her, reward June 2, 1917, after a very brief illness. At the age of 11 years her family moved to Madison county, Indiana, where she resided until her marriage, February 5, 1863, to John Guthrie Morris. In September of this same year this young couple came to Mt. Gilboa, Benton county, and settled on a farm where they resided for twelve years. In 18'75, with their little family, they settled on the home farm one-half mile south of Remington. ' , ; ; < Two children, Clara D., aged 14 years, and Josephine E., aged 3 months," preceded their mother to the heavenly home. -Five children, Mrs. Jennie B. Hollingsworth, Atchison, Kansas; Mrs. Dora A. Hart, Anderson, Indiana; Dr. William J. Morris; Redlands, California; Mrs. Mary M. Chappell and Miss Pearl Morris, Remington; seven grandchildren, four brothers and two sisters bare left to mourn with the bereaved husband and father. At the' age' of l 'r> years she was converted and joined the United Brethren church, being a faithful member until she moved to Mt. Gilboa, when she united with the church of her husband’s faith and throughout a long, beautiful life practiced the teachings of such faith,, leaning heavily upon the arm of Him who Wept with Mary and Martha at the tomb of our Brother. Active in every interest of; her church she especially loved her missionary society arid the Sunday school work. The keynote of her life was spirituality, the source of i her strength, the teachings of the Master. The call of humanity even reached her heart, so her deeds of kindness reached far, as neighbors, friends and the passers-by well know. I Active and interested in many I things, when the call came, this , true wife and good mother, answered only a few hours before she I passed away: “Maybe Jesus wants me. I hope he does.” Sunset and evening star, And one clear 'f-all for me. And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as mdving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam. When that which drew from out the boundless deep, Turns again home. Twilight and. evening bell, And after that the dark, And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For tho’ from out ouF bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have cros’t the bar. • «

Yet again we hope to meet thee When ,the days of life are o’er, And in heaven we will greet thee Where farewells are never more.

NEVER NEGLECT A COLD A chill after bathing, cooling off suddenly after exercise and drafts, give the cold germs a foot-hold that may lead to something worse. Safety requires early treatment. Keep Dr. King’s New Discovery on hand. This pleasant balsam remedy allays inflammation, soothes the cough and repairs the tissues. Better be safe than sorry. Break up the cold with Dr. King’s New Discovery -before it is too late. At your druggist, 50c, $1. —Advt. .
