Some lob

Milking is a laborious chore and
hard work. We've heard fellows COM
plain of having to milk one or two
or three cows, but what would they
say if they had either George Fen
toms or Ed Wells job? Mr.. Fentoh
has been milking Is cows the greater
part Of the winter and is expecting
several more to come in fresh within
the next few weeks. Ed Wells of
Bramwell milks Is cows twice every

How Mistake Occurred.

DR.. B. o. Clark returned Monday
from the bedside of his sister, Mrs.
Mona Dowis, in st. Joe, Mo-, hospi
tai, where she had undergone ser
ious operation. He left her improy-
ing nicely. The mistake in the teie-
gram that announced the death
of his sister was made by the chang
ing of one word. The message as
phened to the telegraph office from
the hospital said: "Nona is bad
Come The word "bad' was changed
to dead" The doctor was accompan-
led home by Mrs Clark's son, Ed
ward Kinney, who has been making
his home with his grandparents al
Cleveland, Ohio, and he viii spend
the summer here.

AUTO FIRE ENGINE IS
ADVOCATED
Growing Needs of Better Fire
Protection Discussed by
Commercial Club.

Tuesday evenings meeting Of the
Commercial Club took on the form o1
a "round table" discussion of sub
jects of importance to city and coun-
try. A topic that aroused consider
able interest and discussion was the
need of more efficinet fire protection
The matter was brought up by Mayor
Frank Knox, who presided over the
meeting. He stated that the city
council had under consideration the
purchase of an auto fire engine and
desired the opinion of taxpayers as
to the wisdom of making the expen-
diture necessary to provide the city
with modern and efficient fire fighting
apparatus. He pointed out that the
water pressure in the mains is not
sufficient to be effective in case Of a
serious conhagration and that 1t
should be augmented by an engine
that will pump direct either from the
pipes or from the irrigation canal that
runs through the city.
While definite information as to
the cost of the equipment the city
officials have in mind is not at hand,
it is estimated that the expense will
be between $500 and $4,000. The
machine in view is a combination
chemical engine and pump. carrying
also ladders and other necessary
equipment. The engine that operates
the truck also furnishes the motor
power for the pumps. The machine
would probable be kept in one of the
centrally located garages and ar
rangements made for one of the en-
ployes of the garage to drive it
whenever an alarm was sounded.

Their example is worthy Of emulation.
For the small investment required
nothing makes such good returns as
. few attractive shrubs, rose bushes
Of periennials, shade trees in the
parkings and nicely kept lawn. At
tractive grounds not only add value
to the premises, but are source OF
constant satisfaction to the owner
and contribute largely to the impress

CONVENTION CALL
Candidates for City Offices 10 b
Nominated 1t Public Meeting.

A convention to nominate city
ticket will be held in Commercial Club
rooms tomorrow friday evening, at
8 o'clock, and is open to everybody.
The new law offers the choice Of
two methods of nominating candi-
dates for city officers convention
and by petition. The latter method
requires 40 signatures to \ petition
and as there are eight officers to be
chosen, it is thought the convention
system will be less work and answer
the purpose fully as well.
