scriber the other day, to, stop the
paper"-and we did it, of course

don't bother the COWS. And conse-
quently the COWS don't ring tkeir
bells quite so loud.

marry. Since the American people
were generous enough to present
the Admiral with a, home he eyi-

that Mrs. Dewey should preside over
the household. And the Mrs.
will be installed in few weeks.
