beat Mr.. Woods in Emmett, Woods

one of Mr.. Woods numerous circular

Siam Adopts New FIaq.

Slams white elephant flag is TO be
abandoned for the red, white and blue
colors of democracy. Commenting on
this, the Christian Science Monitor
says:
"In spite of the fine feeling of en-
thusiasm for the allied cause which
i. shows, one can not but be sorry
that Siam should have decided to dis
card her own splenddly original flag
showing white elephant on a red
field, for a tricolor resembling that OF
the great entente powers Of the West.
Siam sees in the red, white and blue
flag the colors which throughout the
world stand as a rallying sign against
barbarism.' II is quite interesting to
find that red, white and blue do as a
matter of fact figure in the national
flags of Britain, France the United
States, Russia, Serbia, Cuba, Panama,
Costa Rica, Paraguay and Liberia.
And now Siam must be added, If It
is really quite true that the white ele-
phant is doomed"

Ships Dogs Are Sea Heroes.

Many dogs have received decorations
during the war-nOt from the govern

sailors. according to a London dis.
patch in the European edition of the
New York Herald.
naval officer just returned from
the Mediterranean tells an interesting
story of the pet on his ship. The dog
taken young, was rated as puppy"
which it seems, in naval estimate. Is
pretty humble rating. However. the
dog conducted himself like gentle
man and scholar, the officer declares
and was in due time decorated with
the insignia OF A. b. dog.
He misbehaved on various occasions
and failed to do his part In one or two
brushes with submarines, so he was
marched on the quarterback and sol.
emnly remitted to puppy" Ever since
the story goes, he has been striving to
retrieve himself, but thus far he has
not recovered his rank.
1t is said that the dogs on the ships
which fought at Jutland-and there
were many of them-have all been
decorated by their shipmates. The
animals during the battle, II is assert.
ed, played the part of real heroes
without cowardly hair upon one OF
them.

First Express Company.

The first express company In Amer

an advertisement appeared In the Bos-
ton and New York papers announcing
that william +. Harnden has made
arrangements with the Providence
railroad and the New York Boat com
pany to run car through from Bos-
ton to New York and vice versa four
times weekly. He will accompany the
car himself. take care of all small
packages that may be intrusted to his
care and see them safely delivered" :"

tirely imaginary. and he carried par
cells In valise. Harnden had long
been a conductor on the railway. and
his former associates permitted him
to travel without charge. The rail
road got nothing in the way of express
charges. Harnden's first competitor
was Alvin Adams. who became the
founder Of the Adams Express com
pany.
