Proprietor Noel M. Traversy of the Malamute Cigar store and barber shop, has installed an up to date ventilating sys- tenn in his popular establish mnt. The system, known as the L. J. R. ventilating system, will provide an entire change of air in the ground floor section of the building every five min utes. The principal feature of the device is a large suction fan capable of drawing up and ex- polling about 1000 cubic feet of air per minute. The fan is To- cated in the attic and draws the air from the lower floor through large pipes extending through the upper floor. The system will prevent any ex- cessivse accumulation of tobac- co smoke or vapors and insure patrons a supply of fresh air at all times, regardless of weather conditions.

For Vagrancy

w. J. Brooks, a vagrant, has had
no luck since his arrival in FL Cen
tro yesterday First he made the
mistake of approaching Patrolman
Frank McCaslin with a request for
aid.
Il spotted HIM for 'slickcr' at
once,' the patrolman said this
morning. "He came up and nudged
me, holding one of his arms beneath
his coat to make it appear as though
he had lost part of the arm.
The patrolman placed him under
arrest as vagrant and can of
"canned heat was found among
his possessions. Brooks tried to
mix up Judge Hervey in police court
this morning but his only luck was
bad luck. He got 90 days on the
chain gang instead of the 10 which
the judge had originally planned to
give him.
Alvin Cantrell, whom the judge
believed was using his neat appear
ance and hard luck story to avoid
engaging in too much manual labor
was given an opportunity to go to
work for the city. He is now five
dav member of the chain gang.
II. Lindsey, the third to face the
Judge on charge of vagrancy, was
dismissed with the provision that he
give FL Centre the pleasure of his
&bSencc.

law. These must be fixed and can
be corrected without the necessity
of purchasing new mufflers.
