TWENTY-FIVE CENT
CAT MAKES $3.50 HOWL

"Oft in the Silly night, hOwled the
Cat on the back yard fence" at Fred
SevOtiSkie'S on the east side. And
these musical tendencies became so
marked that in order TO secure any
sleep, war, dark, bloody war was the
only resource. Shoes had no effect in
stopping the cats chorus practice; nor
did clubs; nor chunks of coal; nor
an occasional brick. When at last
the end OF patience had been reached,
also the end of the supply of light
ammunition, Mr.. Sevotskie, it is
charged Intentionally, and with malice
aforethought deliberately did kill,
Stay, and take the life of said cat,
with shot gun as the instrument of
death. But this was but the beginn-
ing OF the end, for there being in
existence an ordinance that makes it
Unlawful to shoot a fire arm within
the city limits, Mr.. Savatskie was
taken in charge by the law, and before
Justice Keyes, paid fine and costs OF
$3.50. The ruling handed down by the
justice is important to householders,
in that hereafter firearms must not
be brought into use when your
neighbours cat determined upon your
property as the most suitable place
for chorus rehearsal. Mr.. SevOtskie
has, however one bit Of satisfaction;
white robed peace dwells about his
home, and Morpheus nightly drops
her restless mantel about his residence
from which she is no longer frightened
away by the deceased cat. The story
is told.

way to cure deafness. and that Is by constitu-

infamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

Halverson Brothers secured the
contract for the sash and doors to be
used In the new post Office building

the HalverSOn bid OF 1852 was the
lowest and most satisfactory, and they
were awarded the contract. The
products which they will furnish will
have been made in the factory here
IN Grand Rapids, and which has been
finished and in running order but a
short time. This speaks well for the
new Institution, and it will be more
Ia order that the material used in the
post office building be made in the

THE PAPER MILL
NEARING COMPLETION

The new paper mill IS nearing
completion. OF course the adjusting
OF SO much machinery is slow work.
The big paper machine is up and the
rolls are being cleaned. The big

are in place.

apparent to anyone that the building
OF a paper mill is no small job.

EMPLOYMENT ON u. S.
FOREST RESERVES
A Leaflet Published Giving the
Organization, Qualifications,
Duties, and Salaries.

The Bureau OF Forestry has
published circular giving informa-
tion regarding employment on the
National forest reserves. This cir
cular explains how appointments to
the Forest Service on the reserves are
made, states the salaries of it's
members, and indicates the knowl-
edge and experience required Of
rangers and supervisors, and the
duties each must perform. The
future organization will include
Forest Supervisors at 81 800 to 81, 500 a
year, Deputy Forest Supervisors at
$1,000 to $1,7O0, Forest Rangers at
81, 200 to 81, 400, Deputy Forest Rangers
at $1,000 to LOO, and Assistant
Forest Rangers at $500 to 5000.
The law requires that every
applicant for position in the Forest
Service pass Civil Service examina-
tion. Legal residence in the state or
territory in which employment is
desired is generally necessary, since
only where examinations fail to secure
thoroughly satisfactory men are
vacancies filled by the examination of
applicants from other states. Appoint
ments OF Supervisors are made, so far
as practicable, by promotion of COM
petent rangers or forest assistants.
To be eligible DIS Forest Ranger the
applicant must be physically sound,
accustomed to outdoor work, and know
how to care Of himself and his horse
in regions remote from settlement and
supplies. He must know something
Of surveying, estimating and scaling
timber, numbering, and the livestock
business. Some of the reserves require
specialist in one or more of these
lines of work. The applicant must be
thoroughly familiar with the region
in which he seeks employment. The
entire time of Rangers is to be given
to the service. Rangers, under the
direction Of the Forest Supervisors,
patrol to prevent fire and trespass;
estimate, survey, and mark timber,
and supervise its cutting; issue mining
permits, build cabins and trails,
enforce grazing restrictions, investi-
gate claims, and make arrests for
violation of reserve laws.
Forest Supervisors must have all
the qualifications OF Rangers, COM
blned with superior business and
ability. They deal
with the public in all matters

subServient to an expression of our
finer feelings.
The senseless clod covering the
sacred dust of our beloved dead &C.
quires fresh significance as vehicle
Of expression. Every means within
reach is used as a means to beautify
and enchance its neglected and barren
places. The mother brings white
flowers as symbol Of the innocence
OF her beloved ones laid away ia child
hoods purity. Fathers find means,
often at sacrifice, to place a stone
on the lot sacred to the memory of
those with whom are buried hopes,
ambitions and the cherished dreams
of lifetime. Sisters and brothers,
lovers and friends, bring flowers,
wreaths Or emblems Of love and
memory, on this day of days.
Little groups wander from place to
place, looking up the last resting
place OF old neighbors, friends. or
comrades, and speak reverently of the
lives and deeds Of those whom they
have once known and loved. It is q

Comrades while placing flags to their
comrades graves. recount deeds OF
valor, or tell Of sacrifices made; they
swap stories OF soldier life, camp hap

petitions, and incidents that as the
years roll by, become events beyond

"cheap" in their faces. 1t is a
much over-worked word. It

Once in awhile we have some
thing that is really cheap, but
there is a reason for it and we
tell you the reason. Of course
there are cheap groceries, buty you
don't want that kind. Cheap
groceries are dear, because there
is lack of strength to them, or
improperly put up or inferior in
quality, and you don't care to
have your neighbors say that you
are patronizing a "cheap' gro
Gerry. 1t is just like those who
patronize installment houses.
