WILL HAVE
STREET SIGNS
Hereafter All Concrete Walks VIII
Have Street Names countersunk
in Them


What IL said to be the most up-to-
date and durable system OF street
signs will be installed Ia Seattle in
short time. At the meeting OF the
city council n resolution, introduced
by Councilman Parry. was passed
providing that hereafter all concrete
walks laid in Seattle shall have the
names OF the streets oountersunk
IN them at street intersections. The
resolution instructs the board OF
public works to Immediately secure
Information as to the cost of putting
In such signs.
In explanation Mr. Parry stated
that he WIS informed that sucn
a system of street signs was now In
vogue in a number OF the cities OF
the East, that they had been found
durable and In every way filled the
purpose for which they we're placed
in the wink. and most of all could
be established with but a minimum
cost.

dog would make the pig weigh 300

give your wife the money" Yes, kill

when You come home after hard day )
toll don expect the same pig to meet
You two blocks away with joyful
little cry of welcome at every jump.
Sometimes when you feel unusually

world was knocking against You,
don't expect it to nestle up to your
side, and lay its head within your lap,
wag out its a'Ioyed sympathy, Don't
expect it to forsake its meal of scraps
Just for the privilege Of being your
com panion on a lonely drive or walk
Don't expect it to Dc any of these
'little things" There's vast differ

friend and pig.
