The Globe says: On the Fourth of July two stars wlll be added officially to the United States flag, signifying that Arizona and New Mexico have raised the total aumber of States to 48. The last previous change in the flag was on duly 4, 1908, when Oklahoma came Into the fold, althcugh that State ac- oording to the census reports, was admitted November 16, 1907. Be- fore Oklahoma one has to go back to 1896, when Utah was admitted, for another flag change. isult of the Spanish war. brought the number of States up to 48, There the number stood for thirteen years umtil in November, 1899, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Washington were ad- mitted, making the total 42. Idaho and Wyoming came along next year, making the record 44, which raised to the present number of 46 as al- | ready noted.

Thereafter for A long time the admission of the States alternated between the North and South, reflecting the slavery and free soil controversy. See how the States alternate: Tennessee in 1796 and Ohio in 1803; Louisiana in 1812 and Indiana in 1816; Mississippi in i817 and Illinois in 1818; Alabama in 1819 and Maine in 1820. Then came the admission of Mis- souri in 1821, under the Missouri compromise, which allowed that State to hold slaves but prohibited slavery in territory of Louisiana pur- chase north of 3¢ degrees and 30 minutes north latitude. Thereafter the balancing process continued for a time, Arkansas being admitted in 1836 and Michigan in 1837; Florida and Texas in 1845, and lowa and Wisconsin in 1848. Then came Cali- fornia in 1850, Minnesota in 1858 possibly Porto Rico may be asking for admission before many years; but not with any certainty can the next star for the flag be pointed out. iod i FOR SALE Ten bushels Hastings Prolific Corn, due to arrive this week, direct from Hastings.
