prentice boy in the boilermaking de-
partment of the local Rio Grande
shops, Ernest G. Walton, last even
ing completed the allotted time, and
will, as it is custom with apprent-
ices who have completed their time
here, seek other points in this broad
land of our to get job at his trade.

stick to his work and today has
enough confidence in his ability to
hold job in any boiler shop in the
