Veterans and many others who hold Me-
mortal day sacred are alarmed by the man
ner In which the occasion is from year to
year made day of sports, and a strong
effort is on foot to have the day changed

that day till the end of the next week will
probably be the livelie>t time that this town

many that might have been chosen but no
one can say that it does not make up in beau
ty what 1t lacks in size, and let us all ioin in
decorating so as to give visitors something to
remember. 1t has been proposed that the
residences and business houses be decorated
and made us attractive rs possible Several

s1dewa' ks, trimming them,e etc. Let each one
try to rival the other and the result will be
just whaG is wanted

tents galore.
IN addition to the state troops there will be
few from other states. The Keene light
guards are expected and will make the trim

A foot bridge will be placed across the
II yer from the main road to make the
ground easier of access.

Information OF Value to BE Embodied
In New Manual.
Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police de-
partElent has not yet finished the work of
compiling the new police manual, and 1t
may be several weeks before the book is
ready for distribution. 1t is the intention
OF Maj Moore and Commissioner Wight to
have embodied in the manual number of
rules relating to the treatment and ham
ding Of sick and wounded persons. Here
tcfore the manual has contained instruc-
tons of this kind in brief, but the manual
will embody instructions much mora elab-
crate In other cities the manuals con-
tain such Information, drowning and sun
stroke cases being dwelt upon at length.
The new regulations for the District are
intended to instruct the officers in the mat
ter of caring for persons who are shot, cut
and otherwise wounded. 1t is also the in
tention of the officials to have current laws
and decisions made part of the manual, in
order that new officers. as well as the
older ones. may receive some legal in
struction.
