many of such loans have been negoti- ated to the advantage of the farming interests.
 This company was established in 1887 by Thos. Trimble and Judge Trimble, and twenty years later pur- chased by H. T. Trimble & Son, while in 1913, John C. Bradford bought the business for himself. Since acouir- ing the institution, Mr. Bradford has been incessant in his efforts to make it the leading business of the kind in central Arkansas.
 Among other substantial lines of business handled by the company is that of the New England Security Co.,, one of the oldest concerns operating in this state
 Mr. Bradford is not a politician and says he has never had any desire to hold public office, but he is prominent in fraternal circles, being a member of the Masons and of the Woodman of the World. In politics he always votes the Democratic ticket and is firm upholder of President Wilson and supports in every way possible ali the measures advocated by the ad- ministration as being necessary for advancing the cause of the allies in the great world war.
 Among the Baptist Church members of Arkansas there are no members who stand higher than the Bradford family, and John C. Bradford is consistent member of that church.
 In 1890 he married Miss Eagle and now numbers in his family seven chil- dren, three daughters now grown and four still in school. One of his daugh- ters teaches in the high school and the other is doing stenographic work
 MT. Bradford is not only dealer in land, but such firm believer in Arkansas land that he owns 400 acres near Coy, which he keeps busy raising cotton and corn.
 Owing to his other interests. he keeps this land rented to croppers, but directs their planting in order to se- cure the best returns from the land.
 MT. Bradford owns one of the hand some homes of Lonoke. where he re- sides with his family and enjoys the fruits of his lc.bors.

ORIGIN or THE SERVICE FLAG

The service flag was invented and
patented by r. l. Queisser of Cleve.
land, Ohio. formerly a Captain in
the Ohio infantry, from which he
was retired. because of an accident.
He thus states the origin Of the flag:
shortly after April 6. 1917, when
war with Germany was declared. the
thought came to me that both of my
sons. who were still officers in the
Guard, would again be called out.
and I wondered II | could not evolve
some sign or symbol by which it
might be known that they were
away in their country's service. and
one which would be tO their mother
a visible sign of the sacrifice her
sons were making. The inspiration
of the service flag came to me in
that manner" A blue star is used
to represent each person, man or
woman. in the military or naval ser
vice of the United States; for those
killed in action a gold star is substi-
tuted for the blue star; for those
wounded in action a silver star l.
substituted for the blue: for those
who subsequently die from wounds
or gas disablement. the gold star is
superimposed on the silver in such
a manner as to leave a margin OF
silver around the gold; for those
disabled or i%nvalided home by in
jury or disease incurred in the line
of duty. a silver star is superimpos-
ed on the blue sta in such manner
as to leave a margin of blue around
the silver; for persons of the latter
class who subsequently, die, a gold
star is imposed on the silver, so as
Ito leave a margin of blue around the
1g0ld. The wounded persons wht
may be represented by a silver stat
only are those entitled to the Off
lcial wound chevrOn.
