would very properly become the police

OF course. Il f. generally anticipated
that when the new Central Are station is
completed. the office OF the board OF fire
commissioners will be transferred from
city hall TO the new building. and this
change, together with transfer OF police
headquarters. would leave at least. four
rooms vacant IN the basement of city hall.

expense beyond that Of moving, which

MULCTED
FOR SUNDAY
WORK.
Men Who Received $40 for
Flowing a Field Compelled
to Give Up $3.50 In Court

The poet who sung "wearily the plow-
man" with reference to the conclusion OF
his. tho yeoman's. days work. must
have had prophetic vision. At any rata
there were two weary. very weary. plow-
men in the 9th district court, today.
Last Sunday John Wright and Michael
German took a contract 10 plow a lot of
land on Wind Mil hill. for SO. and that
very day they filled that compact.
When the job was done the men pock-
eted their pay and went home TO enjoy
the same.
Now IL so happened that a wary cop;
on the alert for law-bTeakers. reported
that the plowmen had followed their or
binary calling upon the Sabbath and
both were hailed into the 9Th district
court today
Each pleaded guilty and was fined IS
and costs.
The two fines. plus costs. amounted 20
$3.50, which means that the two weary
plowmen are $500 10 the bad for having
taken this particular job.

ing polka dots. Her suit was trimmed
with silk In polka dots; her cap was OF
white silk with a veil to match When
she first appeared at least 500 bathers
gathered around the girl. who seemed
to enjoy the sensation she was creating.
When she plunged into the surf small
boys cheered Justify, while the older
ones looked ON and smiled. After TAX
ing a sun bath on the beach the girl
entered a bathhouse, followed by a
crowd. The Chief of Police ordered her
TO leave the bathhouse by the rear en-
trance and to change her costume next
