VANISHED FELINES AT
 TRIMMER AND RITTERS

"The harmless, necessary cat,' with her kittens, and other cats, just as necessary and just as harm less, in the catery of Femmer & Ritter, cost that enterprising firm a case of milk every week, besides a meat bill.
 Jake Paradise, who, with good care and loving kindness, sheperds this feline flock, says that the mainten- ence of : ~eats is not matter of weakness on the part of the dock owners, but matter of good busi- ness judgment. Experience has shown,' says Mr. Paradise, that it costs less to feed cats than to feed rats and mice There is great deal of grain stored from time to time on the dock, and the firm found, before they instituted the cats, that these animals gnaw large holes into the pockets of grain hand lers
 ..The firm has found by exper- ience," says Paradise, that there is nothing in the theory that the hun- gry cat is the better mouser. That cat is the best hunter which is the best fed" So the Femmer and Ritter cats get the American stand ard of living.

KING AND ERICSSON
 ARE REAL MAD

The most significant incident in the controversy over the proposed purchase of the water system oc- cured at the Council Meeting on last Friday night, when Councilman King reprimanded the Mayor for giv- ing publicity to the facts which so strongly favored the purchse.
 The Council Chamber was crowd ed with leading citizens who were there to urge the acceptance of MT. Lewis's offer. Three members of the last council were there in per- son to tell the council that they real ized their mistake in not accepting @the plant last year and to advise that body to profit by their accept ing the plant at the doubled price, and fourth ex-councilman sent a message to the same effect.
 Well known men had expressed themselves in language so emphatic that Councilmen King and Ericson sulked under what they believed to be an imputation of their weakness of intellect.
