WOULD HOLD OF LIENS
UNTIL AFTER WAR ENDS
Resolution introduced In
Council to Protect Property
Owners From Loss

A resolution providing that liens held
by the city against residence property,
which is actually occupied by the own
er, shall not be foreclosed until after
the war, or the present stringency due
TO high prices, is over, was introduced
III the city council last night by Alder
man Jones.
Mr.. Jones explained that the purpose
was TO set at rest the fears of some
people that if the voters should adopt
at the special city election the meas
ure providing for the foreclosure OF
city hens the city would ruthlessly take
from many property owners their homes
at time when they could not help
themselves.
As Alderman Jones desired to make
IA lew changes in the resolution it was
referred to the ordinance committee.
New regulations for minors driving
automobiles are con ntained in an ordl-
nance, which was introduced and put
through second and third readings last
nigh. Persons under l6 years of age
arc prohibited from driving an automo-
bile. Persons between Is and Is years
may drive machine when accompanied
Ny their parents or guardians or when
given special permit by the chief of
police at the request OF their parents
or guardian.
Alderman Unruh requested, in the
form of a resolution, that the city re-
corder appoint new set of city elec-
tion officials for the fifth ward. No
reason was given for the desired change
and as Mr.. Unruh was not present the
resolution was laid on the table, while
a motion was adopted providing that
in the event of vacancies in the cleo
tion boards that the city recorder be
notified so he may make the necessary
appointments.
The street oiling machine will be
rented to the contracting firm of Hod-
son & Hoskins, now paving at Mon
mouth, for not more than 10 days at
$3.50 day, according to decision of
the council.
The council voted to furnish the light
for cluster light post which is to be
erected by the tenants of the new Will
lis building ON Court street.
Business men having light or tele-
phone or telegraph poles in front of
their places of business must keep the
poles painted, and the city recorder
was directed to request the street com
missioner to see that this is done.
The Pheasant Fruit Juice company
was given a permit to erect sign in
front of its place OF business on High
street.
An ordinance to establish grade on
Thompson avenue from Center street to
Frederick street was read first and see
ond time and referred to a committee.
The council rejected the recommen-
dation of the street committee to allow
the construction of stairway from the
sidewalk to the basement on the east
side of the Hubbard building.
The council passed ordinances levy
ing assessments for the construction of
in the Mob Hill addition.

atilt
In the strength and the glow OF
youth,
When each man shouldercd his pack
and gun
And fought the fight that has made US
one
A nation in fact and truth.
Today their gait is trifle slow
And their ranks are thin, but their old
eyes glow
With light that is clear and brave,
As they trudge along on their tired
feet.
And Int their faces again to greet
The flag they helped to save.
And now the test of our souls has come
As the soldiers march to the fife and
drum
To Join in the thick of war,
And the young boys fight as the old
BOYS fought
Willing to hold their lives as naght
In cause worth dying for.
And we somehow know that in wars
red hell
These lads will battle as nobly well
As the Grand Old Boys we cheer
Who falter by to martial strain,
Or those who under the sod have lain
For many quiet year!
SO we lift our eyes to the flag that flies
With its red and its white and blue,
And we cheer again for the kind of
men
Who have always seen us thru,
For the stalwart breed that meets our
need
For the Old Boys-and the New!

Apprehensions.

Apprehensions.
The end of the month was near
and the bills for the dinner would
be on the present months account.
How foolish that [ hadn't thought Of
that. might just as well have had
the dinner a week later; then they
would have gone on the next month =.
But it was too late now for regrets L
must do the best could.
I had sent ten dollars on account
of my bill at the modiste 3: all
could spare. Peggy had paid eighty
five dollars for her dress, and if L
had had the credit of bringing her,
would have felt less anxious. / must
somehow get the fifty paid. Tom
would pay the other fifty.
But the butcher, the grocer. and
the fruit and vegetable men were all
worrying me about their bills. I gave
them each little as I could as son:
but l was afraid / couIdn t keen that
up much longer, for in spite Of what /
gave them the bills steadily grew larq-
er. l hadn't paid the gas bill for two
months; and the last time the man
came to collect, he had threatened TO
turn it off. Really I was in terrible
fix; and daren't ask Tom to help me.
I never dreaded anything in nv life
as did the coming OF the first Of the
month. 1t was December. and Peggy
was going to remain over the HOLIDAYS.
I shouldn It have penny for Christmas
shopping; and that worried me too. It
is so easy to get into debt; and SO hard
to get out Sometimes 1 think that the
fear of debt should be taught in our
public schools So many boys and girls
never know anything about handling
money.

THE DINNER

How much did they charge yous"
1.-TWO dollars" l returned.
.'Cheap enough--for folks who can
afford it; but it adds quite bit to the
cost of the dinner" Tom returned.
Stifled Impulses.
Many times l was on the point of
telling Tom of the little bills 1 owed,
but as many times l failed to do so.
Instead / got deeper and deeper in
debt; until now l scarcely dared to tell
him. Yet somehow they must be paid,
and soon. The tradesmen were becom-
ing impatient. Some few people had
dunned me brutally. I realized that
/ could put them off but little longer.
Then there was that extra fifty dollars
for my dress. How was l to get thats
/ have no excuse to offer for doing
as 1 did. There was no possible rea-
son why l should constantly wish for
mere money; more style, except the
foolish wish to outdo others in my cir
cumstanees or to keep up with those
whose means were far beyond ours.
| see now that in way Helen also
was to blame. She ruined my sense Of
proportion by continually telling me
how pretty l was; how lovely | would
look in this and that, the article in ques-
tion being invariably beyond cur means.
This kept ne constantly wondering
WHY Tom could not give ME more
Why he could not earn as much as 9th,
er men. That he WAS younger than any
Of his associates I never considered.
Marriage We are taught to think, fol
lows love. But love would endure aft
er marriage more often if We weren I
so misguided as to try to live beyond
our means II the constaHt strain after
social position aud dress we're omitted

the comfort and Of our boys in the scales against
