 The number of cuss words used by people about the center would fill d ten acre lot. and all of them we're not uttered by men folks, either. The women got in q word now and then and some of them were none too choice of their language. The wind and the dust were the source of the trouble that led to the outbursts of bad temper. and if the board of pub | lie works could have heard half what was said of them they would have called a special meeting and voted to have the principal streets of the city wetted down though they bad to em- ploy men to go over them with hand | sprinklers. At times it was almost | impossible to see which way to ,urn on account of the blinding dust that | came from all directions. If it keeps l on this way there will be no dust to sprinkle by the time the contract is | let and the carts turned loose.
