Who stole sas out of Farnhart
Abraharn's cash register?
The money is gone, and no one
knows how II went.
Thursday night Farnhart, who
keeps a lunch room, left Phil Lyles
in charge Of the place a minute while
he stepped out.
This was about 10:30. Lyles, who
was in the habit Of hanging around
the place, was left on guard with
explicit instructions to see that the
cash register didn't walk away.
About II o'clock Farnhart return

NNE of the very few genuinely inter

plays in surely TO be disparaged, but 1t

Joe McTaggert has kindly offered
his motor truck to the ladies Of the

view.
A dear elderly woman called at the

left two packages, leaving without
giving her name. One. Of the pack
ages contains two pairs of finely knit,
ted mittens, one smaller than the
other. These will be sold and the
money go for the Red Cross. That's

BARUCH WAS MISLED
NAMING LINDBERGH
ON IMPORTANT BOARD

Washington, Sept. '13.-C. A. Lind
bergh, the Minnesota pacifist, lost out
on the War Industries board job be-
cause loyal residents of the Gopher
state vigorously protested against the
appointment of an anti-war man to
such an important post. This was
made clear by Chairman Bernard NJ.
Baruch of the board in his interview
with the newspaper correspondents.
On the recommendation of a per-
son in whom he had great faith, Mr..
Baruch said he invited Lindbergh to
come here for a conference. The War
Industries board chairman is a busy
man and had not heard of Lindbergh
and his anti-war activities. But the
information was provided for him
quickly once it became known in
Minnesota that Lindbergh was being
considered for job here.
eve are all agreed that in carry
ing on war work we must all have the
confidence of all the people," Mr.. Ba-
ruch said. "It was evident that there
was lack of cor fidence in Mr. Lind
bergh on the part of many people,
and it was therefore decided that he
should not be appointed. I believe
Mr.. Lindbergh will agree with me
that our action was proper in the cir
cumstances.

it by looking at him, and he would
tell you without your looking at him.

"Sure. Anything that makes peo-
pie as happy as you are ought to be
