Atlantic Tournament Of.

The fire departing It of this city has
decided not to hole tournament of
the Western Iowa Fireman's associa-
ton which was scheduled for the 10Th
and 18th and subsequently postponed
The action of the department in de-
Gliding not to hold the meeting was
taken after thoroughly canvassing the
situation and finding that 1t is the
wisest thing to do under the circum-
stances. 1t is probable that the local
department will send running team
to the Tournament which occurs at
Malvern in September. Democrat.

Finis.

A marriage license was issued today
to Miss Nellie Krittenbrink of this city
and Edgar Allen, the Extra young
man who was convicted of obtaining
money under false pretense from Miss
Krittenbrink some time ago. The case
was but recently tried in the Audubon
district court and the defendant found
guilty. Upon motion by the defense
new trial was granted. The cul-
mination of the case in all probability
lies in the wedding of the two princi-
pals.-Cass Co. Democrat.

She wouldn't cali it nothing if her

she'd be telephonirg in that our de-

Delivery Never stops.
The modern delivery department,
like a certain brand of detectives,
never sleeps. To be sure, there are
times when its wagons are not seen
on the city streets, but that is no sign
that all hands are resting. a delivery
system is worked on a two-shift plan.
For instance, when the local or city
delivery is accomplished, the lay men
are relieved by a new FORCE OF wagon
men. who are in charge of the big
vans by which the suburban delivery
is handled.
This force leaves the store any time
reaching the firms headquarters in the
distant suburbs by midnight or later.
AT these stations the Van drivers re-
ceiYe receipts for their goods and tum-
BILE into bed, while a new force of Inen
unpack the vans and distribute and

ons sent out from these points.
The next day at noon the van
drivers return to the station, take
charge of their empty vans, drive
back to town and report 1t the store
foI another night trip. in the mean
time, the suburban delivery force is ac-
complishing its task; and so, day and
