Take the prohibition of the chill

two days at the local vaudeville house.

The chief of police took this action,

In the meantime the eleven persons
have to live some way.

Did she happen to think what EN-

And If she did she would probably

Especially if you are a patriotic cit

These friends of the public veal
who sneak around to police head
quarters and sic the officers on some
thing they don't like or regard as not

the seven wonders of this advanced

In the first place if you have heavy

why be ashamed Of EN-?
Why not proclaim them from the

May it not be because he is handed

The truth is that a person who
hasn't the courage of his convictions
has no business to have any.
For the fact is he doesn't possess
them.
What he thinks is convection is
merely a dyspeptic crouch or an i'm

TO REORGANIzE
WEATHER BUREAU
Shakeup Under Way to Affect
Every Station.

Westinghouse complete reorgani-
cation Of the weather bureau is IN
process, and it was said 1t would affect
every station in the country, to say
nothing OF the effect Of the change on
commission merchants, farmers and
others who are in receipt Of daily
weather maps which ISSUED from fore
casting stations.
For some time inspectors have been
visiting the various stations collecting
data by which il IS hoped not only to
Improve the service and cause the
daily forecasts to be more accurate,
but at the same time introduce econo-
mics.
Charles Il. Marvin Of Columbus, O..
has been appointed chief Of the bureau.
One Of the important changes con-
templuted Ia the service is to issue q
night map instead Of q day one. This
change from day to night 1t is calcu-
lated, will save money because it will
eliminate from many stations the duty
or publishing Il daily weather chart,
Men longest in the service, however,
declare that the night map Is unlikely
to be regarded as an Improvement be-
cause 1t will reach the persons inter
ested about twelve hours late.
