Government estimates of expense for
the coming fiscal year jumped s39,-

Robbers Make Quick Getaway.

The two men who participated in the
robbery, grabbed three diamond rings
and made quick getaway. They were
seen lettering about the front of the
Burnstine store some time before the
robbery was committed. Policeman
Jerry Broderick passed the store only
about five minutes before the deed was
committed. and the robbers, it is
thought, watched his movements, wait
ing until he was a safe distance away
before attacking the window.
Quickly following the breaking of the
window, the robbers took turns in
grabbing where they had seen diamonds
marked $1,000, and managed to get
two such rings. They also got a dia
mond ring valued at S400. Mincosky
grabbed his revolver and fired two shots
at the disappearing forms of the men.
He would have fired more, he said, but
the pair got out of sight before he
could reach the door.

rather stale joke. He stated that cold
storage was a good thing and ne
cessity, fact that Day Book readers
have been fully aware Of for, oh,
those many years. They know that
in order to have an equalized supply
of foodstuffs the year round it must
be collected in time of high produo-
ton, stored, cooled and preserved to
meet the demand in time of low pro-
duction.
In another part of the article he
states that there is no corner in eggs
and no egg kings. My, what an IN
truth, when right before our very
eyes is being revealed the very thing
the writer says is not so. Mr.. Fuller's
