1t is understood formal contracts

purchasers will not take actual pos.

new building of the North American
Trust Company, which will be a
union OF the Corn Exchange, Illinois

leasehold arrangement to run for sew
eral years Is being considered.
The Fort Dearborn Bank will real,
lie a profit of $l.3j0,00O on the sale

PUBLIC SERVICE BUNK
The Tooth Extracting and Smoke
Consuming Department in the
City Hall Makes People
Laugh.

Why doesn't the alleged city de.
partment OF Public Service get after
the fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city is infested?
Can you guess why 1t doesn't?
There are 102,641 Of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
sidewalks.
1t is safe to say that 100000 of them
are out Of order most of the time.
They yield an immense revenue, as
each patron is obliged to give up one
cent for the privilege Of finding out
how much he does not weigh.
Another fraud on the public is the
counterfeit gum vending cent.in.the
slot machine, which in the majority Of
cases, takes the cent but yields no
gum.
Why Is It that the City Department
Of Public Service permits these frauds
to exist?

of handling the Mexican situation
When the president first stricken Senator Moses
OF New Hampshire declared that the president was suf

that ne never woud be competent to attend to business

Wilson had softnmg of the brain had lost his mind and
was parayzed first on the right side, then the left

had him incompetent again.
So bitter is partisan enmty that political opponents
are not satisfied with having the president stricken down
in the service of his country as result of over devotion
to work and trying to carry burdens too heavy for any
one man, but would kill him off at once
There is no mystery about the presidents illness-

Whatever the cause or however il
happened-the nuts are here and we
can't get rid of them.
Let us capitalize these resources. a
line can be built up on them that
will spread the fame of this city
throughout the world.
This is news--and news is of first
importance.
The more nuts the better. Absolutely,
Someday the world will know Salem
as the nut center. You can't get away
from this fact

the bills, Your father, Kathie, never

Mother was all flutter at the un-

determined to talk to Charlie about
| leaving her alone and had a shrewd
| idea that Sarah knew more about the
| business matters Of the household
than mother For l was perfectly
aware that father was one of those
old fashioned men who imagined he
was doing the best possible thing for
his wife when he surrounded her with
every comfort and kept her shielded
from the world.
l believe my mother had been per-
fectly happy Her one thought was
her husband. She had no other life
I but his. Would l be happier if 7 could
! bring myself to feel that everything
John did was right and it was my life
to live within the bounds of his de-
sire?
The modern woman cannot do this.
Perhaps this is the reason why divorce
is so prevalent. We break away be-
cause we know that W. can support
ourselves. | know that tomorrow if I
should leave John / could qualify as a
gymnasium instructor and sports
woman
Just before l left home to come to
my fathers house / made John very
angry one night by insisting that our
mothers and grandmothers were not
any less unhappy than we daughters
of modern days. ] said the reason
there We're more divorces nowadays
than there used to be, was not because
the modern woman is more restless,
and more exigeant than her mother
was but because her mother did not
know where to turn to earn her daily
bread if she left the household of her
husband.
John said most peremptorily: "You
don't know what YOU are talking
about! Every woman should under.
stand that there must be a head to a
hous hold, even if that household is
business, as you new women are SO
fond Of calling it"

household head might be woman. BY
