Pontoon Bridges Important Part

An American army officer, writing
in the Special Features Section of

contending in Europe--build their

train is definite and essential unit

In the arguments which the rail-

need of the advance in aid of the pub

railroads themselves.

cannot pay dividends as evidenced by

PUT BAN ON HORSE TRADERS
css.el Proposes to Pat Prshibitive Iesass q
Itisssats Heess Traders

Since the council is in the busi-
ness of drafting a new license or
dinance, the city fathers propose
to make it comprehensive enough
to cover the occupation Of profess
ional horse trading. The new
ordinance has passed it's first and
second readings but was tabled
Tuesday evening to wait until
the city attorney can write a
horse trading clause into it.
The city is frequently visited
by itinerants who follow horse
trading as a profession and petty
thievery as a side line. Almost
invariably their visits are follow
ed by reports Of petty thefts.
Last year one Of these outfits left
town the same night a wagon
disappeared from the yards of
the Kjosness Mercantile COM
pany. A few days ago another
camp was established in the city
and no sooner had the traders
left than the police received re-
ports Of harness and parts of
harness missing from different
barns in the city.
It is the intention of the coun-
Gil to impose a license that will
prove prohibitive TO this kind of
business.

Make MORE GRAPE
JUICE THIS YEAR
Capacity Of Twin City Ice ( Cold
Storage Company's Plant to be
Increased Three Times

Since Church's Grape Juice
was placed on the market the
first of the year, the Twin City
Ice & Cold Storage company.
manufacturers Of the new pro-
duct, have met with nothing but
encouragement. The leading
jobbers. wholesalers, and dealers
of the Northwest have pronounce
ed the juice superior to any on
the market and have backed their
judgment with their orders.
Dealers who at the start refused
to take on the new product are
now writing to the local company
admitting their mistake and ask
ing for shipments, while other
dealers who were never solicited
are desirous Of handling the juice
in their territory.
Owing to the big demand for
the juice in the territory in which
it has been introduced and be-
cause of the limited output, the
local company has been unable
to fill orders which have come
from more distant points and to
make quotations on car load lots.
It is certain now that last years
output of 25. 600 gallons will be
entirely consumed this season
and plans for enlarging the plant
are already under way.
The working force in the bottl-
ing works has been increased in
order to supply the increasing
number Of orders and a force Of
men are now at work excavating
la basement under the plant
which is the first step toward ID
creasing the capacity. Manager
M. H. Church said today that it
is the company's intention to ia.
crease the grape juice output of
the plant about three times that
Of last year with like increase
in the output of Church's Apple
Cider which is making almost as
good a record as Church's Grape
Juice.
