to it that the bands played varied
airs as they marched past, eliminat-
ing their tendency at other Inaugural
tons when passing the reviewing
stand to confine their selections to one
of three airs, "Hail to the Chief"
Dixie and marching Through
Georgia. Past the President, the
marchers continued a few blocks and

had been recorded in the policies and
that animals which were lost had been

one farmer reported last evening that

necessary heretofore.
Some farmers were fortunate IN haV-
ing really solid corn to crib and they
VIII be able to hold it until the market
con ditions settle.
Not many cattle have been shipped
into this immediate vicinity for the
purpose of consuming soft corn. Some
have figured that If they did ship in
cattle the amount of soft corn would
not last long enough to produce very
much gain and being without other
feed for their cattle they would be

stand a good chance to lose for there
doubtless will be many others in a

Clay Beds Of the Connecticut.

In the clay beds Of the Connecticut
are found certain wonderful and beau
tiful concretions. These appear in
four principal types, Disk-shaped,
cylindrical. botryoidal resembling
grape clusters), and limitations Of ami
NAL forms. The latter are the more
striking, the forms initiated including
fishes, birds, ant-eaters, elephants,
dogs, lions. tigers, etc. A remarkable
fact Is that each clay-bed has form
of concretion peculiar to itself. and
the principal types are never found
intermingled in the same bed. The
beds are composed Of stratified, river
drift clays, or "Champlain" clays.
