SHANGHAI WANTS

State Has Grown Away from

Attention of the legislature in called
to this urgent want The state has
no flag and the official state seal is
worn out and is declared to be map
propiate and old fogyisfa
The matter OF the shortcoming Of tho
state as to flag came UP on receipt
by Governor Garst of a polite request
from Charles DENLY, American consul
general at Shanghai, for a state nag
of Iowa to be the property OF the
American company of the Shanghai
volunteer corps. Mr.. DENLY explains
that the American company ia body
of 60 American citizens resident in

ton. and drills according to the Amer
lean army manual The Iowa flag is
desired for use on ceremonial occasions,
and particularly to be used at the an
nual ball on Washington's birthday.
The request is for AN iowa flag and
also 4 fac-simile of the Iowa coat of
arms on canvas.
OF course none can be sent, for Iowa
has no flag. Minnesota and the older
states all have state flags. but Iowa.
has none.
It has been suggested that the mat,
ter be put up to the legislature, and
tlla committee or commission having
this In charge might also take up the.
deferred subject of a revision of the
Iowa coat of arms or state seal The.
die of the seal now used was cut some,
20 years ago. and it is completely worn
out. The executive council has not or
dered a new one because 1t has been
suggested that new design ought to-
be considered-one in keeping with the
dignity of the state and more artistic,
