Local reports are to the effect that
work is good, with plenty of men in
sight to perform all that is called for
Mrs. Charles Turner was quite ill
several days last week, but is now
feeling much better.
Operator Starr is now working a
mill in the RICHTER Linotype Compo-
sition company's shop. Bert Pentzer
quit Saturday night and is making his
preparations to fit to California.
Mrs. Maurice Compton visited with
relatives and friends in Nebraska City
several days last week.
Several new men dropped in last
week and were eagerly snapped up
by offices that have been short of help.
1t is quite evident that the pruning
down. of the benefit list in the struck
cities is having a good effect.
