 of Legislature

Ltle Rock, Jan. 6-Taree elements beauty, simplicity. aEd striking 'n- diyiGua1ity, should characterize the Arkansas State flag This was the decision made at Saturdays meeting in the parlors of .he Hotel Marion by the Committee of Seventeen which recently was appointed by Secretary of State Earle w. Hedges to straig'h- ten out of the tangla in the matter ot emblem of the State,
 After two hours, session, the committee decided that none of the more than 30 designs submitted to It had these charac, eri sites in sufficient degree. For this reason, the com mittee dec ded to ask for the sub- mission of more des,9ns and appoint ed nine of it's number as an EXecu- tive committee Q make the final selection from the larger list and to re3ort this selection to the States Flag Committee of the next legisla- ture. This action virtually dis5lves the origional Comsaittee of Seven teen.
 Ten members of the commit ee were present at the meeting yes CT day. Organization was effected by the election of Major (. R. BrecA- en ridge of Fort Smith as chairman and J. J. Doyne of the Sta es Normal College at Conway as secretary Others present were. George B. Rose Elmer E. Clark, B w.

"FRECKLES"

A. G. Delamater, the prominens producing manager ot New York an- nounces that, he will present Neil Twomey's dramization of Gene Strat- ton-Porter's "FRECKLES,' at the Elks Theatre next Friday, January 10, 1913.,
 A compar son of this wonderful nature sory is impossible, for there has been nothing produced in all u'e history of the American stage just like "Freckles." l. is distinctive, original, but of such absorb ng inter- est that t, is not difficult to know why the hundreds of thousands of readers have delighted in the story, nor why it has touched the palate of modern fiction readers. Neil TWomey Mls Porter's story, every character has been brought oIt in bold rel ef in the play, and where the picture was in the minds eye of the reader. it will now be in I5e actual line of vision. Delama'er, does nothing by halves and so he has given carte blanche to scenic oa nters. electric- ians, carpenters and prcpertymen; big expense? yes; ouS the education of the theatre-goer is very com9.e.e and for success, demands perfect stage equipmen. The great "Lim- berlost Swamp in which 'Frecklss' takes hold of life, and forms ris na- ture friendships IS real st;cally shown. It is beautiful stage pie lure with the thickness of the swamp forming a dark massive background below, while. above lower gigantic ,Iees. A knowledge of perfect stage light ng makes this effect possible,
 The coming of 'Freckles" will b2 an event of the stage, just the same as it was an event in fiction: it is not a supposition it is a realty; the drama IS now as great success as is the story 1t is playing to inn mense crowds everywhere.

Miss Marion Anderson IL captain

One OF the few teams In this vicin
ity which has met with success dur
ing the present basketball season Is
the squad OF fair sex tossers repre-
senting South River high school
Under the careful guidance and
coaching Of Prof. Clancy. one OF the
faculty members OF the school, the
South River girls have had a splen-
DID opportunity to show rare ability
and they have taken advantage oil
their opportunity, evidently, as they
have thus far made a brilliant show
ing.
This season Is the first one In
which South River has been repre-
sented by a female squad. And the
s. r. H. S. l~assies, although branded
together for but n season, have
been able to play In six games with
out being defeated once. With the
exception of n game In Wood
bridge which resulted in a tie, the
up-county maidens have annexed a
victory In every one of their at
tempts.
Among the scalps which they have
pinned In their camps are three be-
longing to the N. B. Fl. 8. lassies.
