that the Fourth of July Committee of the
Improvement Club is offering fifteen
dollars for the best decorated store III
town. ms de and out. The object of the
Improvement Club, as | understand it. is
to benefit the town, and every citizen.
whether he is a store keeper, State officer
or private individual, ought to have the
right to compete for the prize. | would
therefore suggest to the Committee t"
offer the prize to the owner or proprietor
of any public or private building or store
for the best decoration only. AS the
stores will he closed on the Fourth of
July anyway, it is no more h just that
all should nave an equal chance, other
wise the Improvement Club might create
the impression that it is advertising GER
tain stores and forcing people to go in
side to see the decorations and thereby
cause disSension among decorators who
are not store keepers.

Cows With Earrings.

A COW is the last creature one
would expect to see with earrings,
yet every COW in Belgium must
wear them now. The director geu-
eral of agriculture has issued a
regulation that all animals of the
bovine species are to wear earrings
as soon as they have attained the
age of 3 months. Breeders are OBJ
liged to keep an extra account of
the animals raised by them, and
the ring. on which is engraved a
number, is fastened in the animal S
ear to prevent the substitution of
one animal for another.

Naming Batt.eships.

1t may be of interest to those who
are reading the daily accounts of
the doings of our navy to know
that our ships are named in accord
ance with the following rules: The
battleships are named for states,
the cruisers for cities, the monitors
for Indian tribes, torpedo boats
for naval heroes, tugbOats for In
dian chiefs and yachts for birds
and insects. The gunboats, how
ever. are variously named. 1t is
well to remember this so when IL
boat is mentioned you will know
to what class it belongs.

to him, he gave it trial and to his
great surprise, three doses of that
remedy effected a permanent cure.
