Plenty of dead leaves can be seen
along Il. Market ST., and it looks as If
the shade trees, the property owners
have so long cherished and protected,
,, are now doomed to certain death, and

my cash register and the way things

At this juncture the travelling man
muscd: "You talk to me like Il man
that wants to sell out. How much
do you want for your place." The
proprietor endeavored to make me be-
licve that he had a, mint, but only
last week saw sign posted In the
window Of his place-'for Rent"
