Bold Daylight Robbery

A bold daylight robbery took
place Saturday afternoon when two
men entered the Zalenas jewelry
store, 445 West Leonard street,
Grand Rapids and got away with
three razors while the proprietor
was looking on. A man with crut-
ches first entered the place and later
was followed by another party who
asked to be shown some So and So
razors. A number of them were pro-
duced for examination and while they
stood at the show case looking them
over one of the visitors slipped three
of the razors in his coat sleeve and
thence into his pocket. The store
proprietor missed them, became sus-
picious and asked where they were.
While the argument was going on
one Of the men left the store and the
party with the crutches cody declar-
ed that the other fellow had got away
with them. He was told to leave the
place and the store owner then mott
fled the police. The alleged crooks
were caught Tuesday morning. 1t is
said these same men were at the En-
terprise jewelry store earlier that
day, asked prices on few articles
and then left.

Grand Rapids.-There may be some
day that people will not receive mail
and they will wonder why. Accord
ing to the postal laws the carrier does
not have to deliver mail to a house
where dogs are running loose and are
cross. A mail carrier was bitten re-
Gently by an ugly canine and there
fore this provision of the postal laws
will be followed more strictly. The
carriers cannot be expected to take
these chances and owners of vicious
dogs will have to go to the main Office
to get their mail. This is a fair
warning. Tie up your ugly dog, or
better still, send him quietly out to
dog heaven.

o thou plant of rising value,
Once considered so plebeian,
Staple of the plain fare dinner,
Food for men of Drawn and muscle
But held low by intellectuals,
Now more rare than diamonds,
Precious more than pearls and rubies.
Men are bartering automobiles,
Ay, cen limousines and racers,
For a lot Of thee in barrels.
No one now will Judge a mansion
By it's lace and silken curtains,
By its handsome marble statues,
By it's TECHNICS and old masters,
By its shining grand pianos,
By it's draperies Of velvet,
By its brocaded chairs and carpets,
By the richest rugs from Turkey,
But by use upon its table,
Daily and without stint of measure.
At thy presence in it's dishes.
Men who own large shares in gold
mines
Look with unconceal-ed envy
On the ones who have thee cornered
Lo, we bend and bow before thee,
High enshrined above our reaching,
Jewel of the modern market;
And all men come paying homage
To thee, spud once meek and lowly
o thou lordly, proud potato!

WEEDS Couple ON Minutes Notice

Lake OdeSSa.-JuStlce Howard has
new slogan. 1t is weddings While
You Wait" and he took advantage of
the first opportunity to demonstrate
it that came along when he married
couple in the Kent county clerks
office in Grand Rapids.
Justice Howard was called to
Grand Rapids on legal business Tues
day. While in the clerks Office, a
couple entered hurriedly and pur-
chased license. Then the prospec-
tive husband turned to the clerk and
asked il he knew where the ceremony
could be performed in a hurry. The
clerk thought a minute. Then a
bright idea occurred to him.
"Sure," said the clerk. "You can
get married here. Mr.. Howard is a
Justice, and all you have to do is to
step into the next room and join
hands,"
The couple gladly followed the
clerks suggestion. Justice Howard
said the words that made them man
and wife ard after handing him the
customary fee they left the building
happy.
