Gale Provides Fun
For Watchers, BufHs
Tough on Pedestrians

Fort-st. west, on the south side OF
the Dime Bank building, was the
windiest spot in Detroit. Monday,
As the fitful gusts. biting cold. swept
down upon the unsuspecting pedes-
trian from a height OF 20 stories
and more, laughing faces filled the
tiers OF windows on the opposite
side OF the street. Sixty miles an
hour-nothing less--was the speed
at which the gale caught the un-
wary. Hundreds were caught In the
whiri and for a moment scarcely
knew where they were.
The slippery pavement added TO
the discomfort of many. one man In
particular. He was big, strapping
drummer, loaded to the teeth with
sample cases and other necessities
OF the traveller. Bent far over to
balance himself against the gale. he
reached a point in front Of the Pc
ninsulaf bank, where the near-hurri-
cane seemed TO have centered. Then
that had gone before. Progress was
out of the question. and he appar-
emily disliked TO give up the strug-
gle after a half-block fight. He tack.

minute. then turned deliberately

Hats of all descriptions went sail

One gust took half bundle OF
papers out from under one
"newsie's" arm and scattered them
all over the block
Women. alarmed at the strength
of the gusts. sought the protection
of the huge pillars of the bank. and
only ventured forth when they had
assured themselves that the blasts
had subsided.

local talent as Messrs, Shell, Perkins,

EDDY ADDRESSES DEMOCRATS.

To the Democratic Voters of White
Pine County:
The undersigned is a candidate for
election as a delegate to the demo-
cratic state convention and favors
Hon. Key Pittman for the office of
United States Senator. Certain par
ties have caused notices to be pub
lished that all candidates for dele
gates to the state convention had
withdrawn excepting a list of names
given. This Is not the fact, and as
the law provides that delegates elect
ed to the state convention shall act
as delegates at large to the county
convention, 1t can easily be seen that
some of those whose names appear
to said article desire to sit in the
county convention In order that they
will have extra votes to land them
selves at the public trough for anoth-
or term and that the U. s. senator
ship Is only a secondary matter with
them. BY selecting your delegates
to be voted upon regardless of print
ed lists, you will be using your true
American right as a citizen and will
Gang Rule
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Respectfully submitted,
c. A. EDDY.
