After rounding up old Brindle

night, Uncle Tobias returned to
his first charge and expIaniated
as follows:
You know town with the
proportions and proclama atoms
Of pedunkyille. something is al
ways going wrong with their
wagons, the wheels won't track
or they become wobbly on their
axles-if it amt one thing it's

another wheel is needed.
You see, said INK, in further
explorations on his extra wheel
hobby and in further exto llings
and presentinents of the ofiici-
ated and auto matte workings of
that there extra wheel, | can
attach a street-crossing sweep

there wheel that would be worth
an awful lot besides looking after
and protecting the wagon in gem
eral and keeping it from going
to the internal wobbles and out
OF the horsepitai, and jist lots
of other things; and Uncle To-
bias rubbed his hands together
in glee as he expatiated on the
wonders of the wheel.
Now, says Tobias in a c;incher
to his augmentations and as he
watched the goou effect on the
board of safety. | could furnish

President Harding
On Sugar Tariff
And Sugar Industry

In his speech at Greeley the
president said
Il at once caused an inquiry
to be made into the sugar stu.
alton. and I became persuaded
that a modification of the sugar
tariffs would have little to dc
with the decrease of prices to
the American consumer, but
might destroy the American su-
gar industry itself. to which the
American consumer must look
for stabilized prices in the fu-
ture."
O. shucks! Harding. Why
more in the future than in the
past-on that stabilizing busi-
ness. If the tariff stabiIizes.
how about the millions and mil
lions you yourself admit has
been and is being stolen from
the sugar consuming public?
And then, if it's removal would
have little or nothing to do with
the price, how in Heleana could
its destroy the Amer.
ican sugar Industry"
And again, what in John Will

caused to be made" have to dc
with the above contradictory
statements?

SEWERS BLOCKED
 BY REFUSE PAPERS
Arnold Cautions Citizens Against Practice-POol Of Water Downtown

Collected rainwater covered the sidewalk Thursday afternoon at the southeast corner of the intersection of Third avenue and Nineteenth street mainly because refuse paper and other debris had blockaded the eaten basins of the storm sewers.
 And just ESQ long as the practice of throwing paper in the street along with other refuse continues" R. W. Arnold, superintendent of streets, said after the report of the small lake reached the city hall, just so long will the storm sewers be pre- vented from functioning."
 Mir Arnold invites attention to the practice of piling grass cut from lawns, yard refuse and other trash in the gutters over the city. Rain invariably washes the lighter stuff into the storm sewers and the block ing of flow that is so often com plained about Is almost invariably due to carelessness in this regard, unusually by the people who make the complaints.
 Birmingham spends thousands of dollars every year in trying to keep open the storm sewers" Mir. Aronld, said, when little forethought on the part of the tax payers in placing the refuse from their premises where the rain cannot wash it into the gutter, would relieve the semiflood con gestions and save the money for other purposes"
