QUEER TIMES IN SPAIN
Who is that chap who said:

I'll get along without the neces-

Seville, Spain, is yearning for
him. ~
Food, clothing and house rent
are out of sight, but you can go
to the theater all the way from 4
cents for picture shows to AZ
cents for grand opera. Flowers.
range all the way from l cent for
a buttonhole bouquet of jasmine
or violets to 18 cents dozen for
mid-winter roses. You can hire
a good carriage for As cents an
hour.
But while the necessaries are as
high and in some cases higher
than in the United States, wages
are pitably low. For example:
Household servants, $500
month and board, wharfmen, SO
cents a,day; motormen, 81 cents
day; bank clerks, $12 month.
Gee, how do they live?
They don't. They just sub

ASK THE POLICE
TO AID IN SEARCH

Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Martin of Twen-
ty-fifth avenue, Moline. asked the Rock
Island police this morning to aid them
in locating their son Frank, who dis
appeared some time during the night.
The Martins used to reside in Rock Is
land and Frank is well known here. He
is IS years old, tall and slim, has dark
hair and dark eyes. He is telegraph
operator and was formerly employed
in the local Office of the Western I'm
ion. For some time he has been suf-
fering from a nervous breakdown and
it was probably due to his illness that
he left home last night. He retired as
usual. His absence was discovered
this morning when members of the
family went to rouse him from sleep.
1t was reported late this afternoon
that Martin had run off to be married
to a woman who nursed him during
his illness, though the exact wherea'
bouts of Martin and the woman could
not be ascertained. AS Martin is but
is years of age, his parents will fight
his efforts to engage in matrimony
The woman is seven years his senior
Last fall Martin was working in Salt
Lake City, and as the result of over
work, the nervous breakdown followed
