FAvORS CONSTRUCTION
OF CONCRETE CUTTERS
AL0NG MAlN.STRetT

Street Commissioner Tom Parker is
anxious 10 have the city council build
concrete cutters along the curb line
on either side of Main street through
the business section Of the town. and
is losing no opportunity OF pointing
out to its members the desirability Of
such an Improvement Mr. Parker says
the construction of the cutters wonld
not be 2 very expensive proposition
and that their value as means OF
keeping the street clean would be
worth many iinses their cost They
would also obviate the unsightly AMI
unsanitary mud holes that appear
along the curbs during wet weather,
which are impossible to prevent under
present conditions. especially in those
localities where horses are hitch II

pools OF muddy water are formed and
people on the sidewalk frequently
have their clothing splashed with the
filthy mixture greatly to the detrimeni
Of their garments and to the serenity
and peace OF mind OF the victims.
A concrete gutter would be great
help to the authorities in keeping the
street clean as much of the filth and
rubbish accumulating on its surface
could be swept away into 1t and car
ried away by flushing from the hy-
dran;s. There are a great many CO
gent arguments in favor OF Mr.. PARK
er's plan: not the least OF which is the
finished and attractive appearance IL
would give the street. The people -

OF the community than almost any-

vince them that our people appreciate

OF certain proprietary foods. there's

perience enables him to tell his
friends OF 'the faith that's in him..
According to our informant Mr.. Van
Patten's fear of the little rodent in

is asserted, that he will never be able
to look one of the species in the face
again with that calmness and COM
posure that characterizes him in the
, presence OF the fierce. man-eating

the African forests.
A few nights ago Mr.. Van Patten
went TO the barn to feed his faithful
horse and It was while in the dis
charge of that humanitarian service
, that he had that dreadful. hideous ex-
perience that causes him to regard the
gentle. harmless mouse with that same

The mouse seemed TO Mr.. Van Pat

the result would be he could not
guess. He tried to grsppie the mouse
in his strong right hand but the active.

despair Mr.. Van Patten tried to crush
the mouse by vigorously rubbing his

From the Kansas City star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 A black car stood on a side track at the Grand Central depot yesterday afternoon. At first glance it resembled an ordinary Pullman ear. The name, Messenger of Peace, was painted eonspicuously on the sides and on one side these words: For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoeyer believ- eth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"
 Inside there was a pulpit, Bible, an organ, hymn books and pews with seats for 125 persons. The car is one of six gospel cars in the service of the Baptist Church. It has been hauled over every railroad in the country.
 It is said that in gaining converts it is 10 times as efficient as an ordinary church. The advent of the car in some of the remote division towns is an event Of inn portance. Scores of men from all ranks of life who are strangers to church eagerly attend services in chapel car. The novelty attracts them.
 The Messenger of Peace is church that comes in night. The inhabitants of the small villages where there are no

4 Nocturnal Garage

It is a source of unequaled pleasure to Hubert A. Drennen, Red Smith and Cadillac Pete to have it announced that the Drennen garage on South Twentieth street will hereafter be opened during the witching as well as other hours. The garage may be appealed to in all times of distress-which are many-and relief Will be forthcoming. Gasoline, air and sup plies may be secured there at whatever hour one may find such propositions requisite to one's peace of mind.
 The reason for the all night operation is said to be the wholly impossible ef- fort of MT. D. to make the aforesaid MT. S. stay in at night. AS for Cadillac Pete he rejoices in the fact that "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight or any other night for the matter of that

SOME NEWS AND GOSSIP
 OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO
 AUTOMOBILISTS AND OTHERS
By oYLDH VI. ENNIS

In order to protect our most esteemed friend. Emperor William Kettig, from per sonal njury-physieal-and also to protect a person no less in mind at all times self-from the same proposition the com piler of this column disclaims any opinion as to the road leading to Lake Purdy being good That was unintentionally referred to last week when a joint essay was written upon the beauties of Lake Purdy itself and also the happiness In store for all those automobilists paying that sheet of water a visit.
 Frank Nelson, Jr., a man of rare dis crmination when 1t comes to automobile roads, has on numerous occasions dur ing the past memorable week taken issue with Emperor Kettig and the writer of this column on the road condition to that point. Inasmuch as the fighting editor has been away now for several weeks and inasmuch as it is preferable to settle all disputes by diplomacy rather than brute strength, courage Is mustered up to disclaim from the house tops, as 1t were, that the roads are awful. Even Daniel J. O'Connell, the good hearted person who allows fishing parties to visit the lake, admits that fact, so 1t is cinch to say that no denial of that assertion will be necessary next Sunday. We have assurances that the roads will be i'm proved whereupon there will be no pret- tier drive or more attractive terminus for an automobile trip than Lake Purdy.
 This is said without consultation with the Emperor, but upon the almost in sistent demand of the Duke of Pawnee avenue
