No State FIau,

The state of Missouri has no state
flag. Except for the coat of arms on
state banner, Missouri, comparatively
alone among the states of the Union,
has no legally adopted state flag. Two
bills providing for such a flag were
introduced In the last Legislature. The
establishment of a state flag is the
outcome of efforts put forth by the
Missouri Chapter of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution. Mrs. John
X. Walker of Kansas City, Mrs. X. b.
Oliver Of Cape Girardeau, and other
members OF the chapter were interest
ed in the promotion of the adoption OF

much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use 50 much starch that the
beauty and %fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
