We should make use Of them. Just
think of it-lettuce is now five
cents for large head, and yet many
people have lettuce salad only
when company comes
The dotled up salad is at its best
when some simple food presents it
self in a new form. The slightest
bit of color on any plain salad will
add much to its attractivcuess and

SIMILARITY OF

Report was made to zhe s.leriff's s
office and police yesterday that
three cars had been stolen from their
parking places in the downtown sec.
tion.
c. S. Reed, came forward today
to make IN indignant denial Of the
truth of this assertion
And truth compels the admission
that only two ears were stolen. The
great similarity between all ears
turned out by the manufacturer OF
a certain popular machine, and the
inability of Reed to notice any diff
ference at all led to a set of cir
cumstances responsible for the re.
port that Mrs. NJ. f.. Stewart S car
had been taken by thieves.
Early yesterday morning Reed
borrowed Il ear from Il friend. He
drove around town on business for Il
couple of hours then stopped and
parked the car next to one of the
same make owned by Mrs. Stewart
When he resumed his ride he WAS in
Mrs. Stewart 5 ear unaware that
lie had made change. And he
continued his ride throughout the

shcriffs, and other officers within
a radius of 30 miles were searching

loting.
Late last night Reed returned tho
car t. the friend from whom hc had
borrowed it in the morning. The
owner was unable to account for
the changed appearance of the fam
lIy chariot, and when Reed was I'M.
able 10 explain it, the sheriff's of.
