Is expecting something or other in the
line OF employment. The committee is au-
thorized to raise its own finances, so for
at least the first few weeks of its existence

No Sign-NO Building.
A few weeks ago Lincoln was in the
throes of a mighty fight because the FRS
National bank asked permission of the
council to construct temporary sign oveI
the sidewalk to designate its temporary 10.

900 building. The city beautifiers refused
to stand for the sign; the mayor grew in
dignant over the request; a newspaper OBJ
jected to the obstruction of the skyline by
such a building. Then all got quiet. The
fight ended. No sign marks the temporary
location of that bank There is no indica,

Jerusalem are satisfied with their victory
over commercialism.
