Sioux City Tribune5 The govern
urent's new job of reporting live stock
market news ought to be extended to
the grain business. Investigation of
grain market reports will disclose all
Of the fakes existing in the live stock
market, with a considerable number
Of additions. Undoubtedly an inves-
tigatiOn was made of live stock re-
ports before action was taken to cor
rect conditions. That any action was
taken is the remarkable thing.

The thing to do is to get your order

your order out of the way of the men

COLD WEATHER CAUSED
THE FATAL BELOIT WRECK

The public utilities board held an
investigation at Beloit yesterday con-
corning the recent wreck that caus-
ed four deaths. Mr.. Dennis, section
foreman, testified that he had seen
nothing wrong in the track and that
the break appeared to him to be a
new one. Mr. Rouen, track walker
told the commission that he had seen
no break in the track or noticed any
weakened places in the bridge on his
trip down the track the day before.
Mr.. Armstrong, chief engineer of the
of road and structure,
testified that the break was a new
one in his opinion and that the rail
had been sent to Omaha for a test.
The cause of the rail breaking
seems to be the cold weather, which
was degrees below zero at Z o'clock
that morning.

Wednesday morning, January 8

''In Again, Out Again."
The first time the young Abilene
boy entered the store to buy some
chocolates he noticed only that it
was a girl behind the counter. The
next day he returned to buy a cigar
and the same girl waited on him. He
returned the next day and the next,
but now noticed the pleasing smile.
He became quite attracted by the
smile and his habit of smoking and
eating candy grew considerably.
Then one day his employer informed
him that he was to be sent to Chi
cago to transact business for the firm.
The day before the young Abilene
boy left for Chicago he stopped at
the store and said.
''How is it that you can stand there |
and sell and smile at everyone
"Oh, l sell to everyone, but the
smiles are only for you" she replied.
When the youth returned from the
business trip two weeks later he car
ried gift for the girl as he went to
buy the usual cigar. He thought he
would make his return visit sur
prise, so stepped stealthily up to the
door Another young man stood in
front of the counter and he heard the
man ask the saleslady:
Doesn't it tire you to smile all day
long?"
"Oh," the maiden answered, 81 J
sell to all but my smiles are for you
alone" {
The Abilene boys sister, residing ]
in Des Moines, was surprised to re- j
ceive a present from her brother /
few days later-it wasn't her birth Q
