that a white flag be prominently dis
played about the house. The mean
ing of this flag can be stated each
day at the Chautauqua meetings
and those seeking accommodations
will have no trouble in lacating a
home. This plan was tried at Dallas
during the Confederate reunion and
resulted in securing homes for many
people without the necessity OF troub
ling any one. If you have a room
to rent hang out a white flag.
