IN THIS PAPER appears the annual
report of the President of Milford
Town Council, which sets forth the
financial affairs of the town in way
that they can be understood by the
tax payers. 1t also presents the bud
get for the receipts and expenditures
for the coming year, which should be
read carefully by the people and con-
sidered thoughtfully. A reduction of
the annual tax rate from one dollar
and twenty-five cents to one dollar
and ten cents is suggested as ample
to carry out the proposed program of
improvements on the streets of Mil
ford for the coming year. 1t is re-
port which has been prepared by the
Secretary of Town Council with a
view of giving the actual conditions
of the indebtedness and assets of the
town. The annual detailed report or
the expenditures and receipts of the
treasury, as shown at the close of bus
mess by the Town Council this week,
will be published by the auditors in
the next issue of this paper. The two
reports should be read together and
studied from a business point of view.

ion of the people from the financial

CUBA'S PRESIDENT BARS
APPROPRIATIONS OF RICE
Seeks Adjustment Of Trouble Caus-
ed by Failures to Keep Contracts
With American Exporters.

HAVANA, September s-President
Menocal has issued decree pro-
hibiting the importation of rice until
January 1, 1921, except under gov.
eminent license. This step was TAX en-
as means of arriving at a solution
OF the financial problem which arose
between Cuban importers and Ameri-
can exporters of rice, through the
failure Of the former, after a slump in
the market, to fulfill contracts cover
ing between $25.o00.000 and $4,000
600 worth of that product shipped to
this country.
The decree directs Cuban .consuIs
and consular agents to refuse to wise
expectation documents unless offlcial-
ly authorized by cable to do So Under
the terms OF the decree, all rice now
on the docks or in warehouses here
must be quickly removed. Space will
be reserved in public warehouses for
from 100000 to 200. 200 sacks, a period
of thirty days being allowed for their
removal. Storage charges will be
doubled for the first ten days over
that period, and for each week there
after an additional Is per cent will
be added.
The preamble to the decree says this
action is taken because of the desire
expressed by the State Department at
Washington. through diplomatic
channels, that an early solution be
found to the controversy between the
American and Cuban interests in
volved.

NINETY 16-|NCH NAVAL
GUNS TO Be MADE HERE
Washington Navy Yard to Build
Part Of Armament for Twelve
New Warships.

Ninety of the $50 sixteen inch guns
required for the twelve. great fighting
ships of the Navy now under con-
structioD are to be built at the naval
gun factory at the Washington navy
yard. These guns will form part of
the armament of six 43,000-ton dread
naughts and six battle cruisers.
Additional contracts for six sixteen
men guns each have just been award
ed the Midvale Steel Company At
$2S6.000 per gun and the Bethlehem
Steel Company, at $257,508 per gun.
me latter company also will furnish
four sets of sixteen-inch gun forr-
fngs, while a contract for eighteen
sets OF six-inch gun foreines was
awarded the Erie Forge COMPANY.
With the Midvale and Bethlehem
companies each having previously
contracted to furnish twenty-four
sixteen-inch guns in, addition to
ninety to be turned out by the naval
gun factory at Washington, the con-
tracts awarded complete the program
OF $50 sixteen-inch guns required for
warships now building While their
armament actually calls for only 100
OF the big guns. thirty are being built
as spares. The twelve warships will
not be completed before the latter
part of 1928, according to the present
program. but it is considered neces-
sary that the guns be finished and
ready for installation q year before
the ships are completed.

ISABEL

ISABEL
Etymoligists claim that Isabel IS
only another form of Elizabeth, whose
intricate, but interesting history will
be discussed later. Accepting the
theory of the experts, Isabel would
seem to be derived, then, through the
Hebrew Elischeba, much used in the
time of Charlemagne. 1t soon became
Elisaba and was shortly abbreviated
to Isabeau through the wife of Charles
vi of France.
Another more romantic version
claims that Isabel. which is translated
to mean oath of Baal, originated with
the daughter of the Zidonian king
whom We call Jezebel. She is also
thought to be equivalent to Elizabeth,
though she appeals to the oath of the
heather Baal whose votaress she is.
Her name was given, with expressions
OF hatred, by the Spanish Jews to
Isabel the Catholic when she permit
ted them to be prosecuted, and both
Spain and Italy applied the epithet to
Queen Elizabeth.
The wife of Philippe Auguste of
France was called Isabelle by the
French when she was braught from
Hungary a bride, and the name thus
became popular in the French court
Isabelle of Angouleuse, the bethrothed
of Hughes de Lusignan, who afterward
married King John. brought Isabelle
to England Her namesake daughter
Lecame the wife of Friedrich II and
carried Isabelle to Germany and Sicily
Spain adopted it as Isabel or Ysabel
and it was given vogue there through
the marriage into Portugal of Isabel
de Ia Pays, great niece of Elizabeth OF
Hungary. But Curiously enough, lisa
bel was never greatly liked or used in
England, though the child-queen OF
Richard II was 50 called. and many
DAUGHTERS of the Plantasenets receiv
ed it in baptism. Scotland, on the
other hand favored it, calling it 1sobe

GOOD OPINION ABOUT PEPCEN:

"My trouble was dyspepsia" says

with me. 1t soured and fermented and
caused bloated, stuffy feeling. The
gas formations were usually worse
in the evening.

mouth. Throbbing aches added to my
discomfort. So many people here in
Richmond recommended Pepgen for
exastly the same troubles that l de-
cided to try it.

not sour as it formerly did. 1t is a
great relief not to be troubled with
that bloated, stuffy feeling. Indeed,

mending Pepgen because have found
