before another state is admitted.
 All our possessions now on the continent have been granted state hood (provided Arizona and New Mexico adopt constitutions that the president and congress ap- prove) except Alaska and the Dis trict of Columbia. The latter will probably never become a state and the former will remain a district for many years to come. Perhaps the foreign possessions such as Hawaii. Porto Rico, Guam, Tutui- la and the Philippines will knock for admission, but not soon. or cer- tainly if they do knock, they will not soon be admitted. The flag, when the two new stars are added, will be arranged in even rows once more. there being six rows with eight stars to a row.

Dr. J. Bailey Dead.

The grim reaper death claimed for his victim at 4 o'clock, Thurs day afternoon, January 12, pr. James Elmore Bailey. at his home in Strong, after an illness lasting about one month from typhoid pneumonia. All that medical skill could do with the assistance of a trained nurse from Little Rock was done, but the dread disease was victorious.
 pr. Daley was born on the 2Zth day of December. 18z making him 3o years and l6 days of age at the time of his death, He was mar ried on January 9. 1906. to Miss Rosa Lee Murphy of Strong, and from this union were born two daughters. Elizabeth, aged s, and Rosa Lee, aged 2 years, both of whom are left to the loving care of the devoted wife and mother. The deceased is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. E. J. Ballard of Sum- merfeld, La, and Mrs. s. A. Hale of Litroe, La, and three brothers. w. O.. of Junction City, J. D., of Haynesyille, La, and George, of Summerfield, La.
 The deceased was a resident of this section of the state for num- Der of years, having practiced his profession at Lapile, Felsenthal. Huttig and Strong, which place he had recently moved to from Halle, La, where he went from Huttig about two years ago. He was an excellent character and an upright citizen. a devoted husband and father and fine physician.
 His remains were laid to rest in the Strong cemetery at 9 o'clock Friday afternoon. the services at the residence being conducted by Rev. Mullins and at the grave by the members of Rowlsnd Lodge, No. 594, F. & A. M., of Huttig, of which he was respected member. May God in His infinite goodness watch over and care for the heart broken widow and the fatherless children that they may all be re- united in the better world.

Two New Stars For "0ld Glory"

The United States flag will prob ably be able to settle down for a period of rest after the stars for Arizona and New Mexico have been added, and it will have a bit of rest before they are added, as it will be some time before these two territories become states, although the<president has signed the bill bringing them into statehood They must first adopt their respec- tive constitutions and have them approved by the president and con- eress, and this will require some little time.
 Since Vermont came into the Union in lz9l the admission of the commonwealths has been fair ly rapid, and the number of stars on the flag has been changing pret- ty often, the longest interval with out change being the Is years be- tween the admission of Colarado in 1876, and the. two Dakotas, Mon- tana and Washington in 1889 Since 1889 the states to be ad- mitted are Idaho, Wyoming, Utat and Oklahoma. The probability however, is that a much longer interval than 5 years will elapse

Inasmuch as it has pleased the Great Architect of Universe to summon to the Celestial Lodge above where the Supreme Master presides. our worthy and esteemed brother. pr. James Elmore Bailey, on January 12, 1911, we your committee on resolutions would submit the following:
 Brother Bailey was one of the charter members of Lake Lodge. No. 586, at Felsenthal and changed his membership to Row land Lodge, No. 594. on May s, 1906, and served one year as it's Senior Warden. He was born on December 2z, 1871, and married at Strong January 9. 1906.
 He was a Mason indeed, without guile and ever walked and acted as such before men. He was always ready to serve the cause of Free Masonry in every way he could and was a regular attendant at it's meetings when his profession per- mitted. He was an upright man, a good citizen and was true to every trust bestowed upon him. Since he has been taken from our midst by an all-Wise God, we bow with rev. erential awe to Him who doeth all things for the best. Therefore be it
 Resolved, First, That in the death of Brother Bailey our mem bers have lost true brother, his family kind and loving father and his country good and noble cit- zen.
 Second, That we tender to his bereaVed widow and children, brothers and sisters who survive him our heartfelt sympathy, and pray Gods richest blessings upon them.
 Third, That copy of these res olutions be spread upon our min utes, and page be set apart to his memory; copy of them sent to his bereaved widow and that they be published in The Huttig News.
 Respectfully submitted,

NO OPPOSITION
FOR DR.. HOWELL

From present indications II looks as
though there will be no opposition to
Dr. Harrison w. Howell who has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
Mayor on the Republican ticket at the
Republican primaries.
Although it was thought that Will
liam S. Ledlnum at present clerk in tn
treasurer's office, would not be op-
posed for city treasurer, it was learned
today that he might have opposition,
although the name of the second can
didate is not announced. II was said
that he lives in the Ninth ward and
that he is expected to get the support
of the East Side Republicans on the
ground that all other candidates on
the ticket will come from the West
Side.
The only office for which there is eX-
pected to be any real struggle is that
of President of Council. The only can
didate who has announced himself for
this position is former Magistrate Law
renee J. Broman. Charles T. o. Scho-
field, former chairman Of the Twelfth
Ward Republican organization said to-
day he would not run for the place.
Two others spoken of for the office are
Samuel Fl. Benson, Jr.. member Of
