Vacation timel How much these
two words mean TO those who go to
business! One week, two weeks,
sometimes even three, away from
the steady grind with its routine
and aggravations. Truly, vacation
is a word to conjure with.
A glorious holiday at the sea-
shore or the mountains, where we
can swim and climb and loaf to u
hearts content. The only rule that
holds us fast is to be on time for
meals, otherwise we 60 as far as
our inclinations lead us.
And what a difference it makes
when we return-we are in fine
trim for the strenuous weeks to fol-

cheeks tanned, our brains clear, u
ambitions sharpened. How true the
old adage, GAIL work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy"
Don't fail to take a vacation this

swore out a warrant against Youngren.
Youngren and a half dozen of his

the dog owned by Mrs. Jensen is a vi
cious one. They said that it barks at
them and they believe it would bite
a person. Youngren couldn't deny that
he had thrown the rock and he plead

keep it muzzled or have it shot. If she

cause they were not in accordance

is to be 1S5 feet considerable longer
than was asked by Mayor Carlson and
Commissioner Anderson when they Wis
tied the officials in Chicago a short

longer than those first proposed, as is

able feature is the train shed, which

affording protection to passengers dur

forth that estimated cost of the sta
