line designs came quick anu IaSt, ana
when the woman's board met in st.
Paul the last Tuesday in February to
examine them and make the amends it
was found that there were almost a
hundred. The decision was not an easy
one to make. The women of the board
were mostly present, as the men of the
state committee were not invited to
take part. Mrs. Greenleaf, the chair
man of the committee. was in the chair,
and was thus deprived OF both voice
and vote in the matter.
The following is the description of
board by Mrs. Center:
In looking at this design, ask you to
Judge it as the frieze designs were
judged, viz: Without regard to color, as
the color of the flag would seem suffi-
GENTLY important to be voted upon by
the board. l have looked at all the
state flags. The majority of the states
have no legal state flag. The choice of
those remaining are about equally di-
vided between white and blue, several
states using stripes. Some states have
honored the colors carried by regiments
in battle, but these are exceptions. My
reason for suggesting white and blue
would be that, as it floats, it would be
effective at any height, and. SO far as I
know, unlike any other state flag. The
star points in the design are to suggest
the North Star state. The moccasin
flower seems the necessary decoration,
as it is the legal state flower. The
arms are historic, being copied from
the seal in use when the state was ad-
mitted, found in manual of the legis-
lat,,re Of 1884, l do not know of any

A Child Burglar.

Tiny Reunic. aged 10 wears, was ar
rested at midnight in the act of break
ing into a safe in the Henry VAIL store
in ths suburbs of Rochester. Patrol
man Aliens attention was attracted by
sounds of pounding in the store, and
breaking open the front door he was
greatly surprised to find, instead of a
burglar, a young girl standing in front
of the safe. holding hammer, with
which she had been attempting to hSeak
the combination.
A glance about the store revealed the
fact that the girl had been operating
on the cash drawer with can opener.
The child cried and begged the officer
to let her go, as she had never done
anything of the kind before. Patrol
man Allen took the child to the home
of her parents and warrant was
served. The district attorney asked
that the child be held for the grand
jury. Humane Agent Groot asked that
she be placed in the custody of the So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
children pending the disposition of the
case by the grand jury.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
The State Flag.

= = +
For the first time in her history, Min
nesota has a state flag. This result was
achieved by the efforts of the women's
auxiliary of the worlds fair commits
sion. To be the official insignia of the
commonwealth, it was necessary that it
should be accepted by the legislature.
When the ladies swooped down upon
that august body with their demands.
the solons could do nothing else but
throw up their hands, suspend other
business and pass the bill. 1t took just
four hours to get the measure into the
governors hands.
The flag was designed by Mrs. Ed
ward H. Center, of Minneapolis it is
handsome piece of work, ingenionsly
conceived and gracefully executed Not
only does it skillfully combine the ma
tlonal colors and the state emblems, but
it is also artistically done. The ground
is of white silk, and the reverse side of
blue silk bordered with bullion fringe.
In the center is the state seal wreathed
with white moccasin flowers on blue
ground. The red ribbon of the seal
bearing the motto is continued through
the wreath, entwining the blossoms
and floating carelessly over the lower
portion of the flag. 1t bears in gold the
dates 1919, the time Of the settlement of
Minnesota, and 1893. Above, also in
gold. is the date 1858, the time of the
admission of Minnesota to the union.
Below the design in gold letters is
wrought minnesota" Grouped around

sign of star points, with the North Star,
significant of the North Star state, in a
group of three at the top.
The choice of the number 10 is pc
culiarly happy one, as Minnesota was
the nineteenth state, after the original
thirteen, to be admitted into the union.
Many of the other designs submitted to
the examining board employed forty
four stars, suggesting the number of
states in the union, but the choice was
not so well liked, as this had reference
to national and not state matter.
and would be subject to constant
change. The use of thirty-two stars,
suggesting shat the state was the thir-
ty-second one admitted to the union,
was discarded by the designer, from
the fact that the thirteen original states
having been admitted together, the
rank of Minnesota was more fairly
shown by counting it as the nineteenth
after the colonial states The standard
of the flag was surmounted by golden
gopher, and tied with gold cord and
tassel. The execution of the design is
entirely in needlework.
The thorough and careful work of the
designer is evident, and the auxiliary
may well feel proud in it's results. Mrs.
Center was also the artist of the model
of the auxiliary and the frieze of the
state building.
The flag awarded the second prize of
$40 was designed by Frank B. Hickman
of Anoka. 1t has white ground bear
ing scarlet star, representing the
North Star state, with the points out
lined in gold and the state seal in the
center surrounded by thirty-two stars
on blue ground. A wreath of wheat
| includes the points of the star. At
| either side are the dates 1885," the
time when the state was first visited by
the whites, and 1855"
! The third prize was awarded to Miss
Ada White, of Minneapolis. 1t was an
especially dainty and artistic piece of
work, but did not meet the require
ments of the flag. 1t has, however,
been adopted by the state commission
for a cover for a book on the state ex-
hibits. The front of the flag is of blue
and the lower part of red. In the upper
right hand corner is the state seal in
the center of star, and on the left side
the figure of an Indian maiden, beauti-
fully painted, standing on a spray Of
moccasin flowers and wheat.
The designs were called for at the re-
quest of the committee in charge of the
women's building. The purpose is to
decorate the assembly hall with flags
from all the states. Mrs. f. L. Green
leaf was chairman of the committee to
secure designs, and her assistants were
Mrs. A. A. White, of Moorhead, and
Mrs. Edward Durant, of Saltwater.
The committee arranged the details of
the matter and called for designs, and
in the interim between the call and the
decision occupied the time in the study
of the subject of flags. The profound
research involved is not evident to the
uninitiated, but became patent to the
committee after weeks of patient re-
search in nrivate and public libraries.
