half-mast the flag on that pole on the
death of a Native Daughter and that in
accordance the flag was half-masted
on the death of Past Grand Presidents
Tina L. Kane and Belle Wingfeld Con-
rad.

in. the Native Daughter circles upon
the fact that at the fina; services over
the remains of the late Past Grand
President Mrs. Belle w. Conrad, the
Native Daughters did not take part.

ful member of the subordinate of the

most earnest work was for the Native
Daughterss who honored her with ele-
vation to the highest position within
