MARRIED FOR THIRD TIME.
Wealthy Former Audubon County
Young Man Taking His Fill
of Married Life.

William A. (Billy) Leet, who in
herited a fortune from his late faith
er, who was a prominent farmer and
banker of this city, and who has
been making a nationwide name for
himself as a lavish spender, has been
married for the third time.
News Of young Leet's marriage
has just reached his friends here.
Leet was married a few months ago
to a Minneapolis girl and they left
on a honeymoon trip to the Orient.
They have returned and are now in
Miami, Florida.
Leets first wife was an Omaha
girl, Miss Ann Robertson. They
were divorced at Carroll three years
ago, the wife being given $4,000
alimony. Wife No. 2 was Miss Mar
tina Rudy, of Aurora, III. A few
months ended this romance and Mrs.
Leet went to Los Angeles She was
followed by Leet, who sought to win
back her affections by shooting him
self. This he did at the threshold of
her apartments, inflicting a slight
flesh wound only. He then went to
Omaha and made preparations to fly
was bound to win back his wife"
He failed to make the flight, and
also failed to win back wife No. 2.
She got a divorce.
Now, at the age of "a, the one
time Audubon county farm boy is
married for the third, and as he
says, the last time.
Numerous escapades have helped
to bring young Leet into the lime
light. He has spent much time in
Omaha, where his expensive dinners
and lavish tips made him little tin
god" to walters and bell-boys at the
cafes and hotels.
j Leet won the amateur automobile
racing championship of the country
six years ago. Later he went in for
flying. He served in the army and
is said to have met his last wife
while in the service.

A Few DOn'tS,

Don't play with the young
baby. He is not a toy.
Don't shake the baby after

Don't feed the baby after 10
o'clock at night. If he is not
fed at night in the first few
weeks, he will not want it later.
Don't expect the baby to sleep
in an unventilated room. He
needs plenty of fresh air

BEEBER' OPPOSES
TEACHERS BONUS
Education Board Member In.
sists on Increases Graduated
on Years Of Service

Firm opposcition to a fiat increase
or bonus for teachers is the stand OF
Dinner Beeoer, member OF the finance
committee of the Board Of Education.
"Such an increase would In no way
be- satisfactory for the further attrac-
ton Of new teachers into the schools, "
said Mr.. Beeber yesterday at his At
lantic City home. THE Dick plan,
which provides graduated increases nc.
cording to the number of years each
teacher has served. is more satisfactory.
and an advance on this schedule would
mean an apprecisble increase for the
teachers.
''I was under the impression that the
citizens committee was committed to q
S400 fiat increase. and although they
may now be satisfied to have less. the
principle Of fiat increase remains the
same. and I am opposed to it,"
Preliminary work for the fotation
Of the new 1000. 900 school loan is
occupying the attention of members Of
the finance committee. The plan Of
Simon Gratz, president of the Board Of
Education, to interest financial men in
the flotation of the loan. was yesterday Y
indorsed by Franklin Smedley. one Of
the members. Mr.. Smedley stated that
he also indorsed the plan of George
Wharton Pepper for a fat and equal
distribution to all the employees as the
most fair method of granting an adj.
vance in salary. Prompt action in get =
ting the school loan sold ''over the
counter was promised by Mr..
Smedley.

! Akron, once the talk OF the coun

sumed that soon after the November
election the industrial world here will
greatly improve.
Thousands of men and women have
recently been laid off and turned out
of their former positions in this city,
as a result of a political game. and for
further reason that our Industrial
heads or the big bosses" are taking
advantage of the situation and mean
to reduce the wage scale, at the same
time make the impression on the pub
lie mind that change Of administra-
ton should come
1t is well known that the big chiefs
of the rubber shops here are in SYM
pathy with the Republican campaign
and are putting forth every effort to
elect their candidate.
II is figured that fifty thousand peo-
pie have gone away from Akron with
in the past two months. People from
West Virginia and Kentucky have been
leaving here for their native country
and will not be disposed to return here
soon again.
Akron is, of course. great indus
trial city, but it is not THE Garden
Spot" of the world for Southerners.
There is prejudice here against us
Southerners. They call us "fioaters,"
etc, but NE don't fail to convince them
that we. from the Southland. stand for
time honored" principles OF courtesy
and political loyalty.

county is still with the Goodyear Co,

ing an excellent residence completed
