OF THE AMERICAN
FLAG

Yesterday was the actual birthday
Of the Amrican flag-the flag as we
know 1.-THE flag that has thitreen
stripes and a star for every state. This
flag, the American flag Of today, was
adopted by congress on April A, 1918,
and was designed by Captain Samuel
G. Reed. In the flag of 1918 there
were twenty stars; today there are
forty-six.
The American flag which Washing
ton first unfurled at Cambridge,
Mass, on January /, 1916, was com
posed of thirteen red and white
stripes, with the crosses of st. George
and st. Andrew emblazoed on the blue
canopy in place of the stars. This flag
was also carried by the fleet under
command of Commodore Eek Hop
kins when it sailed from the Della
ware capes on February II, 1776. In
the following year, June IA, 1877, the
continental congress passed a resolu.
tion "That the flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be
thirteen stars, white on a blue field,
representing a new constellation"
How or by whom the idea of the
stars was first suggested is uncertain,
although there are some who ascribe
it to John Adams, while others claim
the entire flag was borrowed from the
coat of arms of the Washington family.
In this flag the stars were arranged in
a circle, although no form was officially
prescribed.

 "They all come from people who are already hunting homes and haven't found what they want" said Mr. Lighton. "The Post hadn't and certainly 1 hadn't any notion that there was any such a live interest in home hunting as has developed.
 "There was nothing novel about "The Story of an Arkans, as Farm" It is an old story. It just appealed to the home hunger that is surging in the breasts of thousands. The man who wants land now must take poor land at a high price in places already exploited must live under conditions and that he wouldn't choose if he could help it. The Northwest is an in stance.
 "That there is land like Ar kansas, where prices are cheap and conditions are ideal, is a surprise to the home hunter. It is like an undiscovered country. He can not understand how such a good thing has gone so long without somebody grabbing it.
 "It's 6 funny thing" the author continued, branching off on the feeling against Arkansas, "that misapprehension and sheer rank unreasoning prejudice should stand between a country like this and the people that are looking for It.
 ''It has beauty, it has opportu- nity for fortune, 1t has perfectly ideal conditions. Ordinarily the home has to be satisfied with one of these. If he gets two of these he is lucky. If he gets all three in bunch, l don't see how he is going to resist.
 "Some people have written to the Post to know if the story is really true. One woman in Texas registered her letters to me saying that she was going to find out for sure whether there was such farm. Others are just like her. But this prejudice cannot stand any longer between the man looking for a hume and this modern n Garden of Eden.' ,

MIR. LECTION TALKS
Author of Story of an Arkan-
 sas Farm Gets Big Mail
Fro m the Arkansas Gazette.

Fro m the Arkansas Gazette.
 If business man were to re- ceive 50 letters a day for 30 days from an advertisement and at tho end of the period the letters were still coming, he would think the tad" had made something of a hit. And that is just what William R. Lighton of Fayetteville did for Arkansas with his "Story of An Arkansas Farm," which appear ed in January p issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
 Since the article appeared, Mr. Lighton has received 1,50O inquiries from home- hungry people in every part of the con- tinent, all asking if the wonder ful tale of Arkansas possibilities is all true. And in yesterdays mail, which was forwarded to Mr. Lighton in this city, more than this average of 50 letters came.
 Mr. Lighton arrived in Little R ock yesterday with a party of Cotton Belt officials, after mak- ing a trip over the Grand Prairie rice belt, and in an interview told of how eagerly the people of other states are beseeching him to tell more of the Utopia of his magazine story.
 The story itself was the result of chance. F. s. Bigelow of the editorial department of the Sat- urday Evening Post last Decem- Der visited the farm of Mr. Lighton, near Fayetteville. It was Mr. Bigelow's first visit to the Southwest and he was SO thoroughly delighted with the spot that he asked MT. Lighton to write a story about it. Mr. Lighton did so and the story ap- peared month later.
 To illustrate what the publish CTS of the Post think about the hit made by the story, a letter received yesterday by MT. Light on from Mr. Bigelow speaks volumes.
 He says in part:
 "You have my heartiest sym pathy, and yet cannot help laughing at the thought of you out in Fayetteville with those 800 letters unanswered. When people write to us for your ad- dress I tell them the vast dimen- sions of your correspondence and warn them that they need not ex . pect an answer to their inquiries for two or three years.
 "I wish you would think up one or two more articles that would make as big splash as "The Story of an Arkansas l Farm. ''
 The breadth of territory from which the inquiries are coming is fairly illustrated in the letters Mir. Lighton received yesterday, Among the places from which these came are Los Angeles, Cal; Buffalo, New York; Fisher, Ore; Indianapolis, Ind; Chica

 will not write altogether from memory but from tradition as told years ago by ". R. Benson and others.
 In about the year 1840 some prospectors from Georgia came west to look at the country and they struck camp in valley near q beautiful stream with lovely mountains on either side and they were carried away with the country and thought of b. eating. But they soon found that the whole valley was alive with terripins. So they called the creek Terripin and went on west and settled on Dry Fork and on hunt in Piney moun- tain they found Allen Green running wild and the war clouds settled over that country. Mr. Green lived in a cave in Round mountain for three years to keep out of the war.
 There was scarcely no sick ness in that country forty years ago. There was only one doctor in the county that 1 can remem- Der and that was Dr.. Baker of Carrollton, who was also & Methodist preacher who would preach occasionally at Zion Hill,

COMMERCIAL CLUB
 $ GETTING BUSY
An Enthusiastc Meeting Held Monday Night--To Go
 After R. R. Shops

The Commercial Club of Green Forest met in regular session again Monday night. The meet ing was quite well attended and considerable enthusiasm was displayed on the subject of boost ing the town and country. The meeting was favored by an address from Robert Gal breath of Tulsa, the pioneer oil man of Oklahoma who happened in Green Forest in connection with the oil prospecting business here.
 Mr. Galhreath assured the Club that it's purpose was very commendable. It has been his observation that we have good subjects to work upon. "No matter what comes of our wild cat scheme,'' said MT. Gal- breath, "you have the material here upon which to build, and it is the proper thing for you to get busy. It is well enough to anticipate a favorable result for our oil and gas prospecting and be ready for it. You people cannot do too much to encourage men who spend their money here. You have done we'll to en- courage our people and if for any reason we should decide to quit this field, you should encourage others to go on with it. You have excellent outside indications and the proper spirit exercised toward capital will keep the work going on to thorough test. In the mean time, you have other resources you can develop. Let nothing discourage you"
 It was decided by the Club to assist in getting out an industrial edition of The Tribune under the auspices of the Commercial Club, the details of which was placed in the hands of the executive committee.
 J. B. Reeves was chosen Fi- nancial Secretary of Club, in which capacity he will take care of the collection of the dues of the members.
 A committee consisting of John Hancock, J. L. Russell, R. L. Jernigan and J. B. Reeves was appointed by the chair to confer with George L. Sands, Vice President of the M. & N. A. railroad, relative to the estab- lishment of the railroad shops here. It has long been known that tbe company has been in- clined to look upon Green Forest favorably in this connection, but the water supply has been con- sidered a barrier. Now, that the oil people have demonstrated that there is superabundance of water available, 1t would seem that the way is open for negotia- tions along this line.
 The Club will meet again Mon- day night.

Fewer Medical Students.
ON the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
In CONNECTION with some recent discus
sion of the effect of the automobile in in
creasing the efficiency of the Individual
ply stefan, and SO lessening the number
necessary to serve the community, q cor
respondent contributes, as result OF
careful investigation. these statistics:
In the college year which ended June
80 last the total number of students In
medicine in the United States was 45I
fewer than in the preceding June. This
total was nearly 4.5OO below the largest
number found studying medicine at any
time during the last ten years. That
was in 1903, when "a, $3.50 medical students
were enrolled, as against 2o,3o4 with the
close of the last academic year. The
latter was the smallest enrolment of the
,en-year period.
1t is evident that something is needed to
explain so marked a decline of medical
students in the face of general advances
in population and wealth. While the
automobile may be factor, IL must be
recognized as only one OF several. Per
haps the campaign for preventive medi-
cine, in which the Harvard Medical
School has taken SO large a part, is ac-
>ompishing immediate practical results
Perhaps the larger degree of oversight
which state and municipal authorities
are now exercising in regard to the health
of the individual to say nothing of the
insurance companies and other agencies.
is having an effect in lessening the calls
on the everyday physician. At all
events. smaller number are apparently
finding themselves adequate for the
country's healing work.
