The state flag of Arkansas was held in the talons of the large American eagle over the presidents desk, and from the beak of the national bird there was a small flag Tine posts at ~s l, ,F ,1 q in Red, White and Blue bunting, while crossed flags were placed along both sides of the room The presidents chair and table were also decorated rear of the room, from the beaks of the two pelicans, hung small Ameri- can flags. with another flag standing upright from the center of the bal cony, together with two others sus- pended from the same place.
