A farmer residing some five miles
north from Etna, Kas., tells of great
natural curiosity. He says there is
on his farm q perfect natural bridge.
The width of the archway through
which the water threads its way is
from eight to twelve feet. and the
height is from six TO ten feet. The
cavernous archway is some 300 feet
long. About fifty feet from the lower
end of the bridge there gushes forth a
clear spring of cool, soft water.

THE NATIONS FLAG.


Story Of the Adoption Of the Beautiful De-
sign Now In Use.
The stars and stripes of the present
design. adopted in 1918. were first
hoisted over the hall of the House of
Representatives, on the 18th of April,
1878. at two p. m. Previous to the
adoption of the present flag by
Congress the number of stripes in the
old flag had been increased to eighteen,
according to the number of States adj
mitted into the Union. thus destroying
the beauty and perspicuity of the flag;
and while this order was preserved in
some, others contained but nine stripes,
as fancy dictated. On the admission
of Indiana into the Union in 1916, MIR.
Peter H. Wendover. of New York,
offered resolution ''that a committee
be appointed to inquire into the expe-
diency of altering the flag of the United
States" A committee was appointed.
who reported bill on the I'd of JAN
uary, 1917, but it was not acted upon.
While the committee had the matter
under consideration. Mr.. Wendover
called on Captain Reid, who was in
Washington at the time, and requested
him to form design of our flag, so as
to represent the increase of the
States without destroying its
distinctive character, as the COM
mittee were about to increase the
stars and stripes to the whole number
of States. Captain Reid recommended
that the stripes be reduced to the orig
inal number of thirteen States, and to
form the number of stars representing
the whole number of States into one
great star in the Union, adding one
star for every new State, thus giving
the significant meaning to the flag,
symbOlically expressive of "E pluri6us
mum" This design of Captain Reds
was adopted in committee, but the bill
did not pass until the next Congress,
in 1918. The President on the 4th of
April, 1918, signed ''bill to establish
the flag of the United States" Cap
tain Reid, who commanded the pri-
vateer General Armstrong in the war
of 1912, had flag of the new pattern
made at his house in New York by his
wife, assisted by number of young
ladies. When completed he sent it to
Washington, where it arrived on the
18th of April and was hoisted that
afternoon to replace a damaged flag
then flying. One of Captain Reds
daughters is the wife of the eloquent
Irish-born poet. John Savage, now
Judge in New York. Captain Reds

| General Master Workman POwderly,
of the knights of Labor, has expressed
| his adherence of the work of the
Chicago Anarchists, in unmistakable
terms. In an interview had with him
at Scranton, Pa, on the 9Th instant,
the great leader of the labor movement
said:
"These scenes Of bloodshed ard dis-
order which have occurred in Chicago
are disgraceful uncalled for, and deser.
wing of the severest condemnation and
punishment. Honest laeor is not re-
presented in the ranks of those who
array themselves under the mixed flag
anarchy, which is the emblem of blood
and destruction"
He added that it was the duty of
every organization of workingmen in
America to condemn the outrages
committed in Chicago in the name OF
labor, and said that the workingmen
have more powerful weapon than the
bullet; that none Of the Anarchist
leaders are knights of Labor, and that
if any knights have taken part in the
murderous proceedings reported they
should be promptly expelled from the
order.
"Our organization," he continued,
'.has no antagonism with necessary
capital, and 1t is the duty of every
knight to support the laws made 10
harmonize the interests of capital and
labor. There is not trades union in
America that will countenance the
wrong dong or uphold these men in
Chicago who have been engaged in the
destruction of life and property. The
aim of the trades union is to uphold
and dignity labor, while the anarchists
try to tear 1t down and degrade it.
The anarchist idea is not American
and 1t has no business iD this country"
