TO DECIDE TAX
LEVY OCTOBER 4

Although rumors were current at
the city hall all day yesterday that
tbs city council would attempt to
remove Carl w. Tuerke from his
position, nothing was attempted at
the meeting last night, at least
while the council was in session.
Several of the councilmen who
were questioned yesterday in re-
gard to the affair strenuonsly
denied that anything of the sort
would be attempted, but neverthe-
less there was an air of lowering
expectancy all day yesterday about
the municipal building.
u The first business taken up by
the council was the reading of the
message from the mayor recon-
mending that the tax levy be fixed
at 1914 mills instead of ID mills
The matter was held over to the
committee Of the whole meeting,
October 4. The petition Of the
M6sso- Berry Electric Co. to hang a
new style of electric sign created

the hard drink habit and other dis.
agreeable things, but perhaps the
soft drink habit has not been pre-
sented to you before.
You may have It, and not be
aware of the fact.
II you have, it's probable that you
have to leave your office at least
once day, and most probably three
and four times, on important bust
ness" This business is to walk q
few blocks, turn In at a drugstore
or soft drink emporium, and imbibe
a coca cola, root beer or Ice cream

drinks a week during hot weather,
and quickly increase the ratio.
