followed by the sounding of the call 1

flag was floated to the breeze and
saluted by the flag salute.

of the stores elaborate interior re
modeling and redecorating has been
the rule of the day. These are all
indications of the expression of civic
pride and makes for a much more at

tain its position as the ideal home

around the local express and baggage
room of the Burlington station this
morning and Lester, John and Henry,
the usual force there ha fwo uuxes
that they handled very carefully,
The boxes contained reptiles that
are to be used by one of the attrac-
contained rattlesnakes while the oth
er was occupied by a strange look
ing reptile that was identified by Les-
ter Burrows as a dragon, and wa.s a
very mean and disagreeable cuonier
and one that would be well to leave
alone.
The reptiles came from Brownville,
Texas where the strange varieties of
snakes and other reptiles are large
' and varied and the now additions
will add to the unattractive play
mates of the "wild boy" with the
carnival shows.
