PATENT OFFICE DECISION
IN FAVOR OF "VIVO"

A decision of far reaching impor-
lance has just been handed down by
the United States patent office in the
case of Anheuser- Busch Brewing AS
ISOLATION VS.. Fred Miller Brewing
Company.
In February, 1917. Fred Miller Brew
ing Company. of Milwaukee, Wis, APP
piled to the United States patent office
for registration Of it's trade mark
"Vfvo.' for a on-intoxicating cereal
beverage manufactured by it and sold
as a soft drink. The Anheuser- Busch
Brewing Associa ton. Of st. Louis, Mo,
opposed the application on the ground
that the trade mark "Vivo' was an in
reference with their trade mark
''Hevo'' used in connection with sin
liar beverage. The Fred Miller Brew
ing Company proved to the satisfaction
Of the United States patent office that
it mad used the said trade mark since
the year 1905, while the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association did NOT
commence the use Of it's trade mark
"Bevo" until the year 1908, and the
United States patent office has now
decided that in view Of the prior use
by the Fred Miller Brewing Company
of its trade mark "Vivo," it is entitled
I to tire registration of same. and the
opposition of the Anhduser- Busch
Brewing Association has 1been dis
sed-Adyertisement.

There were about thirty in the picturesque as- semblage.
 The Indian chiefs told the gov ernor they wanted to offer the coulitry the services of ten Indian cavalry regiments.
 We want to know first what is the meaning of this patriotism we hear so much about Chief Yellow Hawk asked the governor thru an interpreter.
 He was told that patriotism meant love of country and when he dis seminated the definition to mem bers of the band in squatting posi- tion, they gave their approval by a volley of grunts.
 They preferred border service, but were not opposed to going to France. Governor Williams prom ised that the matter would be taken up with the War Department.

URGENT APPEALS
 FOR PEOPLE'SSlAID.
War and Navy Departments Ask Arkansas To Raise Part of $i,000,- 900 to Provide Recreation in
 Camps-PoIk County, Si,OOO.

For months past a nationwide movement has been developing to provide wholesome recreation for the sailors and soldiers in the var ious camps, under what is designat- ed as War Camp Community Service.
 This effort as well as the Red Cross and Y. NJ. C. A. activities seems to have the unqualified back ing of the government, thru the War and Navy Departments.
 Recently Gov. C. II. Brough has taken active steps toward promot- ing the effort in Arkansas, and g few days ago wired Eugene Cox ol the Polk County Exemption Board and V. w. St. John of the Polk County Council of Defense urging that they attend a conference al Texarkana preparatory to taking up the work in Polk county.
 In that message Gov Brough said. in part:
 The War and Navy DepaPt-
 ments appeal to me thru the War Camp Community Service, which keeps men fit for fight ing by giving them wholesome recreation while off duty, in stead of permitting them to fall into hands of the wayward
 asking that Arkansas raise it's portion of $4,000,000 for this purpose. Your county is asked to raise one of the Sl000O0 Arkansas must contrib ute outside of Little Rock. This money provides recreation for 10000 Arkansas soldiers in camps outside of the state
 Neither MT. Cox nor Mir. St. John was able to attend the Texarkana netting, as urged.
 Today the following message came from Gov. Brough:
 War and Navy Departments make urgent appeals that Ar kansas immediately raise it's quota toward maintainance of War Camp Community Service, which keeps men tit for fighting when on leave from army camp by providing wholesome recre- ation and by keeping them from dissipation. This fund is not for Camp Pike, but for Arkansas boys in camps ev-
 anywhere outside state. This badly needed work does not ov- erlap other camp activities. Am sending Representative Bubble of Washington as special repre- sentative to confer with repre- sentative group of Mena and your county. I favor a confer ence and meeting Wednesday. Bubble will explain definitely" It is probable that Mir. Bubble will reach Mena by afternoon train today, and if so an effort Will be made to give him an early hearing,
