Burgess Wigfield will announce his ap-
pointments just as soon as the resolu-
tion is legally effective. He will sug-
gest the retaining of j. Horace Nc
Farland and Walter Mumma as con-

fed its streets by municipality owning
all poles and charging the utility COM

The Borough Secretary will write to

The equipping of all the borough

COLD WATERMELON AND A
WARM WELCOME

On one of his visits to Terre Haute
Bill Nye lost a valuable umbrella
which had been gift to him. He
was quite distressed about 1t, but
somewhat relieved when / assured him
that | thought 1t would be recovered
A few days later l received letter
from him asking. Have you received
any tidings of the beautiful umbrella
|! I had the pleasure of losing at Terre
Haute?" The lost umbrella was never
recovered, but Nyes unfailing humor
always was.
A late Spring prompted Nye to
quote the words, Winter fingers in
the lap of Spring" and to this he
added with characteristic wit, YES
and the neighbors are beginning to
talk about it,"
Nye once complained to Riley that
he had an "ecru" feeling and suspect
ed that his "thorax" was out of plumb
Riley ventured to suggest 1t might be
his "sweetbread" that required atten-
tion.

When the Boys Away
the Cow Will Eat Grass

BOYS is boys-and cows is cows"
At least that is what Frank Givens,
of the West Side, informed the Steel
ton borough council last evening.
Mr.. Givens appeared before council
to endeayor to have that honorable
body pass some ordinance that would
make the cows stop eating his best
greens. He complained that some of
his neighbors' cows are pastured in
the streets of the West Side with only
a small boy to see that they keep out
of mischief When the boys begin to
play, as boys will. the cows, he says,
hunt richer pasture.
President Reynders, of council, re-
ferred Mr.. Givens to Burgess Wigfield
and the police department for redress.
