An angry and rebellious- St Louis
boss once made the assertion that
".Toe Folk acted like he had written
the ten commandments" There was
more compliment in the sarcasm than
the boss ever intended. Mr.. Folk ac'
tually did insist that the difference
between right and wrong held good
in politics as we'll as In business or
social AFFAIRS. That Folk was not a
mere moutner of platitudes has been

ord breaking crowds. Don't fail to

 at Yuma this year. The plans for the
 building have arrived and the commit.
 tee having the matter in charge are
 busily at work, says the Sun. The plans for the new building call for rein forced concrete structure 50 feet and l55 feet deep. The building will be
 three stories high and built in the best
 manner possible. On the ground floor on Main street there will be two store rooms, between the two there will be the entrance to theater, which will occupy all the rear of tthe building and the first two stories. The theater will
 be elegantly finished, with a seating capacity in the parquet of 800 and in the balcony of 250 The furnishing will be equal to anything seen in Los An geles or elsewhere. In the front of the second story there will be eight office rooms, or to be used for living proposes, with water and bath On the third floor will be the lodge room, ban quet hall and six additional office and living rooms, with water and bath.
