CITY TO REMOVE TREE

A large elm tree standing on Washington Place will be removed tomorrow, City Engineer P. A. Mer- ian said today. The branches extend onto the roof of a tenement build ing owned by the city and the trunk interferes with pedestrian traffic between Main and Washington streets. There is no advantage in having the tree standing and Sat- urday was selected for it's removal because of the comparatively slight usage of Washington Place towards the end of the week.

Mrs. Belle Fairchild, who worked

day on a return trip to her home

Retta Keen could hardly believe her

Mrs. Shaw had jolly trip to Yak

Saturday evening with Mr.. Shaw
and Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Codding, and
returning Sunday.
Everybody was glad to see Mrs.
Parke back in her accustomed place
last Saturday.
We would like. Jerry Clarke to
please explain the presence of face
powder and rouge on the left shoulder
of his coat, Tuesday. Tsk! Tsk!
The sorters are in fear of their
lives since the hunting season opened
One of the belts on the grading
machine has developed a new squeak
that sounds like guinea hen and we
are afraid our intrepid hunter, (and
bettor on ball games), Alex Parke,
might take pot shot at us some day
in moment of abstraction.
Mr.. Hawley has perfected new
device to test the intelligence and
degree of alertness in his sorters. The
method is simple. Place two or three
apples of new variety in with the
apples in the machine. If the sorter
is awake, she seizes the apple, ex-
amines it, seeks the opinion of the
rest of her fellow sorters and, if the
apple is eatable, pockets it. If she
is asleep-well, it is just too bad.

Mrs. w. R. Kirby and Mrs. A. W.
Borden have been absent from the
warehouse this week.
Tuesday morning the warehouse
crew had hot ginger bread with their
coffee at the morning recess-the
treat of Mrs. Schlicker.
There has been much ado lately
about the business life robbing wo-
men of their femininity. Maybe so,
but under great stress they still re-
vert to type. This was. demonstrated
Tuesday morning when an innocent
little mouse came riding down one of
the sorting belts, creating consterna-
ton among the sorters and causing
those not near enough to see what
was going to on believe that the
Sioux Indians were on the war path
again. 1t is believed that Harry Smith
knows more about this than he is
willing to tell.

A Memory Test

The efforts Of the Will Hays
office to keep producers from
advertising the de-odorized novels
from which talking screen
features are manufactured is not
entirely successful.
'Ex-Wife," the sensational novel
by Ursula Parrot is the latest
to be adapted for the screen and
as "The Divorce" provides a
great feature for Norma Shearer.
I think the story gains a little
by Hollywood treatment. The
undercurrent Of sophistication is
still present but some of the
bfazen vulgarities Of the script
have been softened for the bet
terment of the narrative.
The most horrible screams i'm
aginable accompany the auto
crash in this picture, which has
been so graphically and realistic
ally filmed it causes the timid to
Shudder.
It has q cast as long as a Sen
ator's speech and only those with
super memories can commit all
OF the names in the 10-second
flash provided. Which is still
another argument for this depart
ment's campaign to have the cast
Of characters repeated at the end
Of the screenings.

sgd Budke, a blonde whirlwind
of song and dance.
These, however, do not end the
