lack of foresight. These recent snow
storms afford a glorious opportunity to

supply a hotel. Now, what did we have
the most of during that storm?"

That's right. 1t was banked ul
against the sidewalk in piles higher than

be most pressingly needed"

been necessary was 10 send few men
around with bicycle pumps to inject some
liquid air into each Of those piles of snow.

nuts to sell. While driving down Graham
avenue just north OF the entrance of Fair
mont park he was accosted by young man,
apparently about IS years of age, who, after
title bargaining purchased a bushel of the
nuts. The young man rendered $40 bill
in payment, asking Jensen If he could change
it. Jensen had just 81. so in change, which
he counted out to the young man, who
promptly put it down in his pocket, at the
same time telling Jensen he would go into
the house for the change Of the bill. In
stead of entering the house by the front
door the young man went through the yard
and the last Jensen saw of him and his $3.50
the young fellow was jumping the rear
fence. This aroused the Honey Creek
farmers suspicious and he started on a run
to the fence, but when he reached it and
looked over the other side the young fellow
was not to be seen. Jensen at once reported
the matter to the police, but the enterpris-
ing young man, whoever he is, is at large
with Jensen's $3.50 in his possession.
