the accident, Beatus was apparently
pitched by his horse as he pulled

moned and he was rushed to st.
Josephs Hospital where he was in
critical condition Friday night,
and where he. was attended by Drs.
E. G. Houle, zenas B. Noon, and
Lee Milton.
His brother, Sigmund Beatus,
business man of New York City,

Anniversary Of Flag

July 4th will be the one hundred
and twenty-eighth anniversary OF the
American flag in its present form.
When the flag was adopted, June
IA, 1777, it had 10 stars and 10 stripes.
Thereafter, a star and stripe were
added for each additional state. By
April, 1919, the stripes totaled 20,
and congress ruled that the flag
should have 13 stripes, one for each
of the original states, but that there
should be as many stars as states.
This act of congress became et-
fective July 4, 1919, hence that day
is the birthday of the present flag.
With possibilities of the admission
of additional states, it is possible
that the present arrangement of the
stars may have to be changed.
