FLAGS FOR 5000 SCHOOLS
Will Be Distributed to Commemorate
States 50th Anniversary June 20.

Several years ago the legislature
adopted design for West Virginia
state flag but on account of it's diff
cult color scheme it was not possible
to have the flags made at reasonable
prices. Secretary of State Reed has
at last succeeded in solving the prob
lem and under his direction beau
tiful flag has been evolved, having all
the emblems and colors originally des-
ignated but arranged so as to make
the lithographing and color printing
possible at minimum cost Eight
thousand of these state flags will be
delivered about June first and distrib-
nted among the eight thousand schools
in the state. Up to this time very few
people have even seen the state flag
or have any well defined idea as to
what it Is like. It was therefore a
most happy conception Of the Semi
Centennial Commission to place one
in every school house in West vir-
ginia.
