Of these citizens, feeling, no doubt,
that as these men had heretofore been
held in esteem in the city, it would be
unfair to their families and friends
to expose them in this action. Play

About dozen men reported for the
first practice of the American legion
team last evening at the College gym.
Among the old men back in suits

than was put out last year.

We are told that there are outside
parties coming in here every week and
selling the wet goods that cheer. We
object to this practice as we under
stand that there are plenty of stills
right in this neighborhood so we can
make our own, and we always believe
in patronizing home industries and
keeping the money at home.-Hatton

Simpson entertained twenty of their

of Mrs. Simpson yesterday. The aft

Announcement by Gov. Nestos of
the appointment Of A. B. Cox of this
city as his permanent private secre-
tary has been received. E. B. Cox,
son of A. B. Cox has been acting in
this capacity since the Inauguration
of Governor Nestos. Friends of Mr..
Cox are pleased at the announcement
and feel that the governor has made
a very good selection, as Mr.. Cox is
a man of wide experience and one who
is thoroughly familiar with affairs in
the state.
We note from the published report
of the city council proceedings that
the rates on lighting and heat have
been reduced. The residence rate be-
ing reduced one cent, commercial
lighting Il cent, power rate IL cent
and the steam heating rate ten cents
per thousand lbs. While this is not a
very large reduction it is a move in
the right direction and is evidence to
residents in the city that the admin
istration is trying to do what's right.
Another thrilling James Oliver Cur
wood production-a splendid compan-
ion to "Back to Gods Country" and
'Nomads of the North" Wonderful
mystery pervades it; the stirring adj
venture of Royal Northwest Mount

then. too, there is one of the strang-
est love-stories you've ever seen, set in
a world of snow and peril and wolves
and fighting huskies. Don't miss this
picture at the Grand Friday and Sat-
urday.
A very enjoyable time was had at

other ways of entertainment. A very
delicious luncheon was served later in

parted at a late hour for their re-
spective homes.
