Fire Truck
Answers Twice

The fire truck has answered two
calls this week. Monday afternoon
flue burned out at the Potter resi-
dence on Second street, but no real
damage was done.
Wednesday morning the fire COM
pany was called to 488 North Main,
where a bungalow belonging to F. II.
Berger of Portland was afire. The
bungalow had just been traded off
the day before by the Beaver Realty
Company, and although the deal was
completed, the property still stood in
their name. Mr.. Berger had taken
out insurance with them at the time
of the trade, however, and full re-
covery will be made About $500
damage was done. The blaze was
due to defective cement flue. The
fire company had to do considerable
tearing up of the floor to get the
water to the flames, and great deal
OF the plaster was ruined. The bum
galow was almost new. The e. G.
Davis family were Just moving in,
but all their goods were removed and
did not suffer any damage.

certain features of the work and ac-
cept bonds at par and accrued inter-

Smith, Emery & Company have stood
ready for four months to build the
physical plant and accept bonds for
the service. AS soon as the detail
plans are compiled and properly
checked, If the price is found right
the installation can then go at once
forward and be paid for with bonds.
And so with other features of the

1t is probable that the council will
advertise for bids to be submitted at
its regularly adjourned meeting to be
held on December 29th. at which
time the commission will file the
bid.

LabOrer Struck
BY Locomotive

A laborer was struck by a South
ern Pacific southbound passenger
train yesterday morning near Tolo,
and lies at Sacred Heart Hospital,
Medford, unconscious and unable to
give his name. Mutterings led the
sisters to believe il is either McNulty
or McMarim. His right leg was
broken, his side crushed and his head
cut. 1t is feared he is suffering from
internal injuries. Drs. Pickel and
Thayer operated upon the unfortun-
ate man yesterday afternoon. He
was brought to Medford by the train
that struck him and rushed to the
hospital.
According to the account given the
man was seated upon the track near
Tolo when struck, not being seen by
the engineer until too late to stop.
Warning whistles we're given, which
were not needed. Chief OF Police
Hittson says the injured man was In
Medford yesterday morning and had
been employed on the Siskiyou d.
vision of the Pacific highway. One
report said he had bottle Of whis-
key In his clothes, but this could not

Shopping Is
- Quite Heavy

Christmas shopping this year has
been quite heavy, considering the
strenuous times. Presents bought
have tended more toward the useful
things, such as wearing apparel. use
full jewelry, gloves, shoes, etc. While
as general rule the sales receipts
have run less than last year, yet all
merchants seem quite satisfied,
knowing of the tightened financial
conditions. Furniture. as always,
has remained staple Christmas
present.

Shopping For The
Well Dressed Man

Some time ago, but not SO long
ago that the day may not be remem-
bered by the oldest inhabitant. the
shirt makers were, vulgarly speak
ing, up against it," 1t was when
the manufacturer's ambition was To-
make money, instead of to improve
the appearance of somewhat reck
less public. as they now love 10 do.
There was a group OF them sitting
late one night in the lobby of one of
our biggest hotels-or perhaps they
were in the bar-and they worried
round by round, over the fact that
although people bought shirts, they
didn't buy enough shirts. The prob
lem was to invent some shirt that
would sell itself by virtue of its nov
city. 1t was an ugly situation. And
as they worried, so their spirits went
down.
History does not relate how long
they sat there. The important fact
Is that the meeting was finally brokL
en- up by a member OF the party
Jumping to his feet, waving his arms
and shouting, 1--WE got It," What
he had got no one could discover, be-
cause he Immediately fled. But IA
week later he put on the market the
first shirt with soft cuffs. The inno-
walton was success. All his coa,-
petitors followed suit-in his hurry
he had forgotten to patent his inven-
tion--and for years the market was
inundated with soft cuff shirts.
Everybody bought them because
everybody else did, and because the
makers said they were comfortable
and handsome.
The vogue of the soft cuff has been
immense, but at last II is on the
wane, and ! for one am glad to be-
able to report the fact. The soft cuff
was not handsome; II was hot in
summer; 1t crumpled In an hour or
two; II absorbed, like sponge, every
atom of dust with which il came i'm
contact and was, altogether, far from
desirable. II has begun to so. The
stiff cuff is coming into It's own
again. And men who dress according
to the dictates of sense and cleanli-
ness and practicability are wearing it
quite extensively Robert Lloyd

Its products. In the middle west
there is a great shortage of rolling
stock for moving crops. 1t will take

that the prevailing quiet in COM

pied with the certainty that we have
the best undeveloped country on
earth, assures the future of Nevada.
