O'NEILL ASKED
TO REVERSE ON
MUSKOCEE FAIR
Grady County Wires State
Senator to Withdraw,

CHICKASHA, Okla, Feb. l3.-(Spe-
ciall-Chickasha citizens are lined up
against Senator O'Ncill OF Grady coun-
ty in his stand on the Oklahoma free
fair bill which seeks to establish free
iair and exposition at Muskogee and
the following telegram OF protest has
been wired 10 him;
"In our opinion the bill establishing
state fair at Muskogee is detrimental
to the stockraisng and farming inter
ests OF Grady county. We believe there
should be only on state fair and that
centrally located. In behalf ot the
people OF Grady county, whose interests
will be adversely affected by the pas
sage OF this bill, wc urge YOU TO give
1t careful consideration and use your
efforts To promote their interests The
message bore the signatures OF dozen
prominent citizens.
President w. i. Smith oi the GRADY
county free fair is unaltcrably opposed
to any legislation which will disturb
the present state fair at Oklahoma City
and declares that IN the event ot the
establishment of the fair at Muskogee
he will send no exhibits there from this
point
He brands as a mistreatment OF pa
triotic members of the Oklahoma State
Fair board the suggestion that fair
honors be divided between the two
cities and believes those who sponsor
the bill are not fully alive to the great
benefit which the Oklahoma City group
has rendered the state of Oklahoma by
their un,iSng efforts in the past.
Smith also declares that Muskogee
is too far away to allow for proper at
tention of shipped exhibits and that in
order to exhibit at the proposed free
fair it would he necessary to advance the
date OF the Grady county fair two or

OLD GLORY WAVES
ABOVE THE FREE
origin Of the American Flag
and the Ideals for Which
the Stars and Stripes
Stand.

Thursday several million American
fags will be waving serenely in the
breeze significant OF the calm digni.
fed, yet deep and lasting patriotism
OF the American people. And yei
what do we know about its origin
its meaning, and its history There
were many forms of early flags, es-
pecially colonial types used by the
colonies and militia regiments, be.
fore the flag of the United States was
established by the Continental Con-
gress June IA, l777, now celebrated as
Flag Day.
This act required that the Flag Of
.he United States be of thirteen hori-
rontal stripes, alternate red and white,
ind that the union be thirteen white
itars on blue field, representing a
new constellation. but it did not de-
hne how many points the stars should
rave, how they should be arranged,
nor make provision for additional
pnes.
At the time Of the adoption of this
resolution, Washington is said TO
have observed: 1--WE take the star
from heaven, the red from our mo-
ther country, separating it by white
stripes, thus showing that we have
separated from her, and the white
stripes shall go down 10 posterity
representing Liberty"
Old Glory First Seen.
One of the first occasions for pub
lie display OF the STARS and Stripes"
is said to have been August 6, VII,
when the new flag was hoisted over
the troops at Fort Schuyler, Rome,
New York. John Paul Jones, is said
70 have been the first to fly the Stars
and Stripes over the high seas, on the
Ranger" in November, 1777. The
National museum has an early naval
twelve-star type flag said to have
seen flown by John Paul Jones during
the war Of the revolution.
II has been we'll said that our ma
tional emblem stands for American
ideals and ideas--it is not the flag
of family or a house, but the flag
of the whole people. In the National
Museum at Washington, among the
many other patriotic relics and em-
blems, are displayed more than 80
historic American flags. Some came
from fields of battle, number from
famous sea fights, and otherc were
flown over garrisons or forts by dis
tinguished American officers.
The series shows the periodic
changes which have taken place in
our flags. FROM the time OF the re-
volutionI the stars and stripes in the
flag have varied. There were thirteen
stars during the revolution, fifteen
in the war OF 1912, twenty-nine in
the Mexican war, thirty-three to thir-
ty-hve in the civil war, forty-hve in
the Spanish American war and for
ty-eight today.
Star Spangled Banner.
The stripes were changed first from
thirteen to fifteen, and then back
again to thirteen. 1t may be supris-
ing to know that our national flag is
among the oldest flags OF the nations,
being older than the present British
Jack, the French Tri-color, and the
flag OF Spain, and many years older
than the flags of Germany and Italy.

BEIDLEMAN BACKS
MINERS OF STATE
In Speech Backs Bill Against
Placing of Outside Com
pensation

Senator Beidleman made plea for
the passage of the bill introduced by
Senator McNichol, which forbids the
placing of compensation insurance
companies not organized under Penn
sylvania laws. The Dauphin county
senator spoke In behalf of the miners,
insurance of whom under Pennsylva-
MIA laws, should be impregnable, said
Senator Beidleman. He asked that
senators vote for the measure as a
safeguard for the men who work un-
der the ground. 1T is the duty of
the State to carry insurance of the
highest value for its miners" said the
senator. There should be written on
the statute books of the State an act
which guarantees beyond question the
payment of this compensation insur-
ance."
Lloyd's of London, with whom the
insurance department had placed risks
because of war hazards, was said by
the speaker not only unauthorized to
do business under Pennsylvania laws
but had no sanction under the laws
of any Commonwealth. The only ex-
cuse offered in answer to the Senate
inquiry as to why the risks had not
