quiet farming community had the
scare of its life when big black
bear ambled into town, snooped

Vile National Bank. 1t attracted the
child's attention by jumping over a
high fence. Calling to her mother
the little girl explained that she had
seen big dog jump the fence"
Mrs. Youngman found the dog" was
an honest-to-goodness bear.

cares" With New Lights

City Electrician Clark e. Diehl ex-
planned to city councilmen this morning
the advantage of installing incandes-

present arc lamps which have been in
use for years.

descent light has been manufactured
which can be installed and maintained
