$500 Paid Out
When Hubbard county began bal

had been paid out in jury fees and
other costs incident to the trial
which had been wished on it." The
county commissioners of Itasca county
have been asked to refund this sum,
but there is no legal authority per-
hitting them to do so, and it is prob

Without Precedent
The situation is said to be unpre-
cedented in this state. Where crim-
inal cases are transferred for trial
from one county to another, the state
status provide for the payment Of
such expenses by the county from
which the case was moved, but the
law is silent as regards the expense

will start boxing class. Fandrei has
met such men as McGoority, Mike
Gibbons and others who fight In the
middle weight class and for several
months was sparring partner of
James J. Jefferies who formerly held
the worlds championship. Fandrei is
well posted on all points of pugilism
and his offer to start class has
aroused the interest of a great many
young boys and business men who
care, for this sport. Fandrei will
meet with the club Monday night and
explain fully his plans for class and
what may develope If enough interest

DON'T WORRY"
THIS is BoOENGER's SLOGAN.

Julius Bodenger, the energetic and
Progressive president Of the Algiers
Cornice and Plumbing Works, is firm
ly convinced that much more good can
be accomplished by vigorous work than
by unayailing worry. and he makes his
convictions known in many of his ad-
yertising signs, as well as "practicing
that which he breaches"
In the last few years the Algiers Cor
nice and Plumbing Works has pro,
crossed steadily. and in the year 1914
they have handled a volume of bust
ness greater than in any previous year
since starting in business.
From a small beginning as d tin
smith shop, this concern has grown to
be an important mercantile and indus
trial establishment, having an Organi-
zation for handling business second to
none in our district.
As a wholesaler and retailer o.
plumbing goods, gas and electric fix
lures and supplies, Mr.. BodengeT
meets the prices of his largest com
petitors in New Orleans, or anywhere
else and he has demonstrated beyond
dispute that the manufacture and cree
ton of sheet metal work can be carried
on successfully on a large scale in Al
giers as well as anywhere in the vicin-
ity OF New Orleans.
Ii gives US pleasure to record the
success OF a deserving enterprise in
any line of useful industry. more espe-
cially when achieved by those who
have earned the respect of the com
munity.-Adv.

Of snow and ice. There was a huge

plate that said. Don't knock; walk
right In" Bonnie went In.
Inside the gate was a courtyard. and

The Christmas elves are all white, you

Santa Claus ordering them about in

the Christmas toys that had just come

they had chance the elves would stop

good many toys were broken.
