Miss Rankin Visits
Libby on Campaign

Miss jeanette Rankin, who is seek
ing the republican nomination in the
race for a seat in the United States
congress, was in Libby Monday in
behalf of her campaign. Miss Ran
kin is no new hand at the game OF
politics having served in the ma
tional house during the World War,
during which time she voted against
our entrance into that war
Miss Rankin is largely basing her
campaign on that same issue now
She is very much opposed to this
nation becoming entangled in Eu-
ropean affairs although she favors
the greatest possible preparation for
our own defense She says she
would devote more Of our energies
to solving our own difficulties and
building up better conditions with
in the nation while at the same time
increasing our means of defense
from outside enemies, believing tina
wholesome conditions within ma
ton provide one of its strongest de
lenses.
While here Miss Rankin wa
shown around by Mrs. A. c. Herbs
who is also strong advocate o
world peace.

Odd FIog Focts
Not Well Known

The flag of the United States was
1863 years old June IA, and patriotic
societies say there are thousands
of Americans who know no more
about it than the fact that 1t is
red, white and blue.
For instance.
Every star in the flag represents
state. Can you pick out yours?
The order in which the states en-
tered the Union is the controlling
factor.
Stephen Driver, an old sailor in
Nashville, was the first to call the
flag "Old Glory" He did it during
the Civil war.
Betsy Ross was demon seam
stress, but she probably did not
design or make the first flag.
Benjamin Franklin probably de-
signed more flags than any person
in American history-and received
less credit.
The stars and stripes in George
Washington's coat of arms were not
the pattern for the first flag de-
sign.
How many horizontal rows OF
stars are there? Most people will
answer eight. The answer is six
The continental congress intro
duced the flag resolution in TIT
but the nation didn't have an all
American flag over the capitol un-
til 1855 English-made cloth was
used before that
If you sail up or down the Pc.
tomac river in boat, regulations
call for lowering of the flag wher
you slip past Washington's tomb
at Mount Vernon.
The two places where the flag
flies day and night are the capito
dome and the grave of Francis Scot
Key-Spokesman- Review.
