Search.

In a raid Saturday prohibition of
ficers and military police discovered
an up-to-dste saloon with signaling
devices, in Calhoun street. Empty

no one was held and no charges
filed.
Officers made a thorough search Of
the premises but were unsuccessful
until they searched small clubhouse.
Here they found 20 pints of whiskey
and an elaborate signaling device.
When a customer came TO the house
and had been 20. KID" bell was
rung in the clubhouse, one ring for
each pint to be brought.
Several pairs of new army shoes
and a bicycle were identified by

POOR COOKING is
CAUSE FOR DIVORCE

MEXICO CITY. Aug. LII one
state of Morelos offers the widest op
portunity. All one has to do is to as
sert that one does not longer desire
to live with the other and the trick
is done.
In the beautiful city Of Cuernavaca
where as tradition has it, the great
conquisitador, Cortez, hanged one OF
his wives, the state is now enacting a
new divorce law. Within 81 hours
the government will legally separate
either party to the disagreement.
Grounds are quite liberal. If the
eggs are improperly cooked, or il the
husband stays out later than 10
o'clock, or if anything else happens
which might ordinarily cause dispute
it is taken as legal grounds for d.
yorce.

NOSES

Noses are made to smell with
and are useful when one has O
cold or needs to sneeze.
Some people think noses are
made to turn up like the bottom
of mems trousers. We have all
seen people like that. Their
noses aren't really to blame after
all. 1t is something, or the lack
of something, above the nose
that makes some noses act as il
there were a hot coal under them
There are not many people
with noses that have an upward
tendency today. Most noses be-
have real well. The strange part
of it all is that the really great
man or woman never has a nose
that is unruly like that. It's
those who think they are great
whose noses turn up. The bigger
and more successful the man or
woman of today, the less is the
tendency to an inverted nose. II
you think you're better than the
other fellow, you aren't, is a pref
ty safe rule by which to go.

The lower Federal court up
held the six-cent street railway
fare in Duluth but the city coun-
Gil there seems bent on getting
the fare down to five cents and
are therefore appealing to the
United States Supreme court,
Five cent street car fares seem
to be a thing of the past and it
is therefore doubtful that the de-
cision will be changed. In Min
neapolis and st. Paul the fare is
now eight cents when paid singly
but ten tickets may be purchased
for GO cents making the fare six
cents the most economical way,
and in the Twin Cities the street
railway company collects two
fares from many passengers
those going from the one city to
the other.
