DEALERS
TO ORGANIZE
Want Protection from Bottle
Thieves Call Meeting.

Efforts are under way to form an
organization of retail milk dealers in
this city and vicinity for protection
of the trade. A meeting has been
arranged for Wednesday night at
which preliminary plans of organ
ization will be attempted and prep
arations made for regular meetings
to follow. The object will be to
further interests of the dealers in a
manner that will benefit them as well
as the consumers. One of the prin-
cipal subjects to be handled will be
the prevention of bottle thefts. Other
matters may be taken up as The or
ganization progresses.
Several of the. principal dealers
have decided that it is for the best
that the members of the business be
organized. For that reason there
will be a meeting at 8 o'clock We'd
nesday night at the home of R. j.
Koch, at 243 First street, for which
notices are being sent to the various
dealers today.
s The subject of protecting dealers
from thefts of bottles is one which
they Have long had 20 cope with, as
did beer bottlers before they organ
lied. With an organization such as

BOY TRIES TO WORK
GAME ON PHYSICIAN

What is believed to have been IN at
tempt to swindle Dr.. G.. w. Fithian
out of $40 was made yesterday in his
at 166 High street. A lad came
running into his Office and pretending
to be out ofnbreath mumbled something
about securing change for a bill for
DR.. j. G.. Wilson. The physician had no
sooner left the room than the boy turn
ed and fled to the. street. DR.. Fithjan
inquired about. his whereabouts and
learned he had run around the building
and disappeared.
1t was through DR.. Fithian's alert
ness that he saved $40. AS he left the
room he recollected that DR.. Wilson
was not at home and Immediately it
dawned upon him that the change could
not be for him. He returned and the
boy was not in sight. While the lad
was asking for the change he kept
mumbtfng in such a name that the
physician could not understand a part
of what he was saying. He failed to
produce any bills upon being asked by
the doctor to do so, but mumbIed some
thing the physician did not understand.
As the doctor left the room the boy
probably became suspicious Of a trap
and ran away.

Vincent Cheshire, also received it's
share of credit. Vincent Cheshire,

throne which was profusely decorat-

the head of the would-be knight a
bell, the sign of his rank, was placed.
Another sight that caused much
applause was a float drawn by Harold

This form of attraction was adorned
with blue and white in contrast with
the preceding float. Over the wagon
arches and crosses YER erected.
The feature of the floats represent

it was impossible for him to hold any
