est dramas now before the American
public will be presented in the near

those who are reading it.

L. A. Mathews fell on an icy side
walk Tuesday afternoon and was
severely bruised about the head, be-
ing unconscious for twenty minutes.
The walks are very t~reacherous in the
residence district, the result of the
citizens failing to clean them off, and
the road is the safest place for the
pedestrian. There is a city ordinance
requiring people to clean off their
walks, but the authorities neve take
the trouble to enforce it. 1t will be a
wonder if others are not severely in
jured before the winter is over.

sixteen pages, showed a series of care

holiday goods. Seasonable ornaments
have been used with excellent taste
and really entice one into reading the
well set ads. The Jarvis Hardware AID
on the last page was very well planned
and should have been a strong bust
ness puller. The Register is an old
established paper, capably managed
and affords the best of reading.-Min-
