PATENT OFFICE DECISION IN
FAVOR OE "XINO.'

A decision of far reaching impor-
lance has just been handed down by
the United States patent office IN
the case of Anheuser- Busch Brew
ing association VS.. Fred Miller
Brewing company.
In February, 1917, Fred Miller
Brewing company of Milwaukee,
Wis, applied to the United States
patent office for. registration of its
trade mark "Vivo" for a non-intoXi-
eating cereal beverage manufacture
ed by it and sold as a soft drink.
The Anheuser Busch Brewing as
sociation of st. Louis, Mo, opposed
the application on the ground that
the trade mark "Vivo" was an in
reference with their trade mark
"BevO" used in connection with
similar beverage The Fred Miller
Brewing company proved to. the
satisfaction Of the United States
patent office that it had used the said
trade mark since the year 1905,
while the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing
association did not commence the
use of its trade mark "BevO" until
the year 1908, and the United States
patent office has now decided tina!
in view OF the prior use by the Fred
Miller Brewing company of its
trade mark ''VivO" it is entitled to
the registration of same, and the
opposition of the Anheuser-Busc
brewing association has been dis
missed ADV

harmonious blending have not been
equalled in the history of the club.
Individual talent and harmon

last night. Director Arvid Samuel
son is being felicitated both for the
exceptional chorus work and for
the merit of the individual mem
bers of the club as well as for his
own talent displayed in the Swed-

latter made a decided hit with the
audience and Mr.. SamuelsOn was
forced to respond to an encore.

turned from Europe, in an address
TO members Of the Tri-City Press
club last evening at the Davenport
Commercial club.
DR.. Cole went to the front as
war y. NJ. c. A. secretary and as
such had abundant opportunity to
study conditions under which
American boys are living and fight
ing.
They're getting along fine was
his reassuring message as he re-
counted numerous incidents which
showed that in the face of the ser
ious business at hand they still re
tain their d-given right to laugh,
thereby relieving the nervous ten
sion and keeping in fighting trim
for American victory that is sure
to be won.
He cited samples of unComplain-
ing bravery in face of conditions en-
tirely new which would prove dis
heartening to souls of lesser 10y
atty He told how Paris. city Of
saiety is now buried in gloom, and
how there is blacklist darkness at
night. no lights of any kind being
allowed
1.-THE only question asked over
there is Are you a man.? and the
only question which should be
asked over here is Are you a 100

doesn't ring true, then you ought
not TO have a home under the Stars
and Stripes"
J. c. Mccarthy, new secretary or

should have a part in welcoming
