This agitation about having country
dogs taxed and muzzled would be funny
if the proposition were not SO silly. Dogs
are as necessary to householders in the
country as policemen are to the city, and
often they are more valuable in that they
in nine times out of ten prevent crimes.

There is a prodigious craze for ear

with the upper part of the drop, in
some cases, scarcely more than a

rings of this sort are abundant and
cheap. But the long ear bob Is only
effective with a low gown, and on the
street 1t always seems a trifie too
bizarre.
Genuine seed parl necklaces come
in twisted ropes for twenty-four dol

frocks by young persons with good
throats. and they are worn also with

short necklaces can sometimes be
found in Japanese seed pearls. which
are more irregular than the others
but quite as effective. The dainty

If intercollegiate athletics interfere
seriously with the college work of the stu
dents who take part in or watch them, it is
reasonable and proper that the college au-

as few as possible. Whether there is such
a conflict is, it seems to me, a matter of
fact, the determination of which can safely
be left, in the case of Harvard at least, to
the athletic committee, a body made up
of three members of the faculty, three grad

SIDEWALK DAY

Wednesday, August 3rd has
been appointed Sidewalk Day.
On that day the citizens who have
houses are expected to make
their sidewalks look attractive.
The Civic Leagre is having the
bitter weeds taken from the
streets, but not from the side
walks. OF course, residents will
want their sidewalks also, to look
neat and clean. SO, Wednesday,
the 23rd, they are going to work
for that purpose. Bitter weed
is to be pulled up, all papers and
other trash is TO be removed and
grass chopped off or moved.
Some are not waiting for Side
walk Day, but all over town they
are seen at work tyding up side
walks. These are wise to get
ready beforehand.
A spirit of civic pride has come
to Jefferson. 1t is rumored that
many concrete sidewalks are to
be laid here, as in all other towns
1t Would carry out the purpose
of Sidewalk Day" if contracts
for these could be made then.
