The city council has finally decided
on a course Of retrenchment in the
matter of city help, and will combine
number of Offices, the change to take
place August first.
We understand the Offices of city
clerk, city attorney, manager or the
electric light plant and office book
keeper are to be consolidated and one
man given the place. 1t is expected
to save at least $4,000 per month in
making the change.
Traffer Walker, the present city
attorney, has been chosen for the po-
sition, and If present plans are car
ried out, will take over the affairs OF
the various Offices on August lst Mr..
Walkers ability is well known to most
of our citizens; he is q graduate or
the city high school and Of the State
university, and since receiving his
diploma has maintained an office in
Denison. 1t is understood that he
will receive salary of 500 per
month, although the necessary ordi-
is to take place and the salary fixed

Tourists going to the coast and 9th
er points are complaining against the
condition of the Lincoln highway be-
tween Denison and Vail. At the place
known as the Giblin farm it is said
that hardly one car in twelve is able
to pull through the mud hole. There
are also a number of approaches to
bridges that are in very bad condition.
A Denson citizen who happened to be
in Des MOines last week was informed
by a gentleman who makes a business
of plotting tourists that he had taken
tifty-one cars over the River to River
road because of the road conditions in
Crawford.

too. The kick of the gun turns out
to be mostly imagination. The bug
bear of sore shoulder is a thing of
the past. and having been initiated
into the sport you tackle each sue
ceeding shot with greater ambition
and anticipation.
Now here is the surprising thing,
from the mere spectators viewpoint
those targets looked as big as the
house. When you view them down
the gun barrel they seem to shrink
to the size of a dime. Furthermore,
the path that they take through the
air is as devious as that OF a one
legged man walking up a cork screw.
It's all in the game. however. and the
first shot is a baptism to a sport that
holds you closer than a brother. To
get only three targets out cf a posi-.
bic twenty-five or perhaps to achieve
