 GREETING TO sHRINERs

Have you seen the camel?' was a question that was frequently, asked in the city Friday evening, invariably re- sulting in trip to the Lee S Osgood Go. drug store on Main street, where a typi- cal welcome to the Shriners occupied one of the windows. This was a camel made of sponges, very nearly life size. and cer- tainly of very lifelike appearance from a distance, as the sponges. approximated closely. to the camel color and their ir- regular shape. and bulkiness seemed to give the impression of the fabby and misshapen bodily formation which the ship of the desert presents.

Charles L.

MT. Stewart | sal dthat he was speaking from personal ezperience. as his house was one of the ! five that was struck by lightning. We want to avoid a similar occurrence. It is false economy to delay the purchase of fire apparatus when at any ninnts we

 one of the best fire chiefs fn the country and we should give him good apparatus and plenty of it. to work with.

city was about fifteen per cent over the
previous year. which or itself showed
efficiency and economy when you con-
slider that during the year 1917 the
cost or all commodities ana living er-
penses had risen between twenty-five
and form per cent. that # can be
clearly seen that Mr.. Callahan kept
good faith with the voters OF thu city
In reducing their expenditures thereby
keeping the tax rate reduced. All this
was done IN spite of tho fact that the

be that expenditures instead OF de-
creasing should ordinarily increase.
