Dermott's Flag

A stranger in permott this week
while walking along Arkansas street
looked up at odd glory on the town =
flag pole and shook his head and said,
It's shame. In our heart we said
so mote it be = Surely the condition
of that dear old flag does not represent
the condition of our patriotism, and It
would be far better for someone who
has the authority to do so to take down
the tattered flag before We wake up
some morning and find the star that
stands for Arkansas torn from the
other stars and lying PROSTATE on the
ground because of lack of patriotism
on Dermott's part. The star that
stands for Arkansas is as sacred and
shines as brilliant IA any other star in
old glory, and let's keep her shining.
Won t somebody start a movement
to get a new flag for Dermott and re
place the one that is almost gone?
Let's get together on this, not only to
impress strangers that the present
remnant on that pole does not repre-
sent our loyal patriotism but also for
our own satisfaction and pride. The
red and white stripes in old glory may
look like a stick of peppermint candy,
but no nation has ever arisen or ever
will arise that can lick that stick of
peppermint candy as long as Dermott
and Co. X. are in the ring.
