NONE BUT AMERICAN
 FLAGS IN PARADE
July 4th Celebration Committee Finally Agrees That Other Flags
 Are to Be Eliminated.
Committee

Minor disputes within the ranks of the representativ of the various nationalities that are to be repre- scented in the July 4th parade oc
 cured last night at a meeting of the general committee. The committee will meet again Monday evening at o'clock. Some of the committee members insisted that they wanted to carry the flag of their original home land in the parade. while others ob
 jected, particularly the Germans who felt that they will be unnecessarily humiliated ii the others marched with flags and they could not be ex- pected to do so. It was finally agreed to carry nothing but American flags in the parade and to have the flags of the Allied nations carried at the head of the procession.
 John DiNonno expressed himself as being in favor of permitting other flags than the Americans in the pa rade, explaining that the United Italian societies have been in the habit of parading with the American flag, and also carrying their native colors. Charles Mueller did not favor the idea for the reason that the United German societies would natur- rally be em barrassed Rev. Elisha Adams also opposed any plan of car rying Allied flags in the procession, other than at the head, explaining that this is an American loyalty pa rade. Angelo M. Paonessa was not insistent, but said he would not care to oppose the carrying of the Allied flags in the parade. Another com- mitteeman also favored carrying the Allied flags and thought that Eng land and France might feel slighted if their colors were not displayed. John J. Gerdis, a Lithuanian favored Rev. MT. Adams idea and declared that if Americans were marching in foreign country they could not wave the American flag and be loyal to the other nation too and the same applies to the present situation.
 Uno Johnson, representing the Swedish people, said he owes his all to America and at this time of inter march under any other flag, not even the flag of Sweden. Mayb later, he said, it would be proper to march under respective flags. After further argument, which lasted until 10 O clock, it was agreed to carry only the merican flag in the parade, while at the head of the column will be the Allied flags. It was also agreed that there are to be no auto ' m obiles in the parade, unless pos sibly they be decorated floats.

LEARNING TO TWIST 'ENf.
King George Practices for July Fourth
 Ball Game in London.

London. July 26.-king George is learning to throw a baseball in prep aration for his appearance at ths game between American teams on July 4, when he will pitch the first ball.
 At the request of the king, Arlie Latham, former major leaguer, who will umpire the Fourth of July game, sent the king a regulation baseball. The next day Latham called at the palace and gave the king a lesson on how a baseball should be handled. The proper form in pitching was rather hard for the king, as he is used to the cricket type of throw, but the royal student finally began to get the right swing. He has since prac- ticed in his spare moments on a blank wall in the garden.

DISCUSS MONDAY CLOSING.
Mercantile Bureau Directors I
 pected to Decide Today.

The mercantile directors of the New Britain Chamber of Comm cree are holding meeting this afternoon at o'clock for the purpose of dis cussing the advisability of closing Because of the diversified interest dis played in the matter by merchants in general, it is very probable that a lively discussion will ensue. This movement has been agitated for some time and, according to reports, it is likely to meet with approval.
 One of the main objects of Monday night closings is to conserve man power. The Chamber of Commerce is also making an effort to place New Britain in line with all other leading cities In the state. In Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven, and several other places, the merchants adopted this plan long ago, keeping their places of business open on Saturday nights only.
 Through some unaccountable error, a number of merchants and store clerks have received the impression that closing their stores on Monday Wednesday half holiday. This is not so. Wednesday half holidays, as stat ed by the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce this morning, will go in to effect on Wednesday, July 10. Be- cause this wrong idea was spread broadcast, many were inclined to look upon the Monday night closing with disfavor.

HOW THIS LITTLE BOY
Recovered Strength After Sickness.


 Garrett, TeXas.-''The measles left my little boy aged nine years in a very weak, run down conditiOn-he coughed a good deal, and as medi- cines did not seem to help him, we finally took him out of school and thought he would never be strong again. One day I read about the cod liver and iron tonic known as Vinol, and such a change as it has made in my little boy-it stopped his cough, he is now back in school, strong and well.'-Mrs. E. A.

SMALL FARM OWNER MAY SE.
CURE AID FROM FARM
LOAN BOARD.

The Federal Farm Loan Board has
issued the following rules for the
guidance of the land banks in determ-
lining what area constitutes farm
for loaning purposes:
First. Generally The farm must
be of sufficient area to yield at t.lc
hands Of an ordinarily capable far
mer, putting it to the use to wl.ic., It
is generally adapted and usirS ave-
age methods, an income suE .ic::tt to
maintain the family of the applicant
and discharge the interest and amorti-
zation payments.
Second. Specially. Where
through intensive farming or the
practice of sufficient income has
been regularly derived from tract
deficient in area for ordinary farming,
or where the application of the pros
pective borrower shows that he is by
experience capable of producing such
an income from such tract, such
area may be accepted as sufficient,
provided the land has a stable and
permanent market value sufficient to
warrant the loan applied for. This
ruling does not apply to fruit and
orchard lands which have already been
the subject of definite rulings by this
board"
Under the first paragraph of this
ruling loans may be made to the Or
dinary farmer on the basis of average
skill and efficiency, and no tract of
land will be accepted as farm eli
gible for farm loan under the Fed
eral farm loan act unless it is large
enough to support the family and take
care of the loan under the AVERAGE
farm conditions Of the neighborhood :.
But under the second paragraph of
the ruling the intensive farmer or the
man who practices a profitable spec
ialty, or who shows himself able to
do so. will be given financial support
by the Federal Farm Loan System,
even though his farm may be too small
for ordinary farming purposes, pro-
vided that the land quite apart from
its use has a stable and permanent
land value which will make the loan
safe whether it is well operated, OF
badly operated, or not operated at all
