ton with resulting reduced profits.

have been forced to 60 out Of business

TAXPAYERS TO VOTE
ON court BUILDING
With GUIDING plan
Architect Has Prepared Tenta.
tive Design for Thrse-Stor
Edifice 1875 by 50 Feet

The proposed $3.50 900 bond issue
which the taxpayers of the county are
to vote on this spring when the town.
ship elections are held will build q
new court house combining beauty,
needed space, safety to records and
utility. If it is approved by the voters.
An architect has assured the board
Of county commissioners Of this after
sketching a tentative design on which
to base calculations Of cost and to
give the taxpayers IN idea of what
they are to vote on.
The tentative design is in the form
Of a three-story building 1852 feet by
60.2. The accompanying cut shows
the character Of the design.
Two Floors TO Offices
Two lower floors of the structure
would be devoted to offices. An Of
flee wen would be provided for the
county extension agent. There are
also such up-to-date provisions Is
bedrooms for both women and men
jurors, in cases where juries would be
In session over night.
The court room proposed in the
tentative design would seat q larger
audience than the room In the exist
ing building.
In a building such as the tentative
design contemplates. the judges are
provided with chambers in which
routine matters and juvenile cases
can be heard more conveniently than
In the present structure, increased
space being provided. The judges al
80 are assigned offices in which to
work on decisions and DEGREES. and .
fine law library room Is provided, easy
Of access to both the court and the
bar members.
Fire Pro6f Interior Provided
The commissioners office as
planned provides for separating the
board and visitors with business to
present. Their council table is set
behind q bar separating them from
the audience portion Of their room.
At present callers crowd up to the
members at the table and business
often becomes difficult.
The new building would be equip
ped with the latest fire-proof filing
fixtures and vaults. A. heating tun-
mel around the structure, to be served
by city heat, is part Of the tentative
plan. There also would be q steel
tunnel from the jail in the real to
the court house, so that prisoners
could be conveyed to and from trial

Mink Is Expert Fisherman.

THEY don't use fishing poles or tackle, but
they're the most expert fishermen in the
world. Fishing is not sport with them, either.
They fish to live, and they catch only as much
fish as they need at the time
These famous fishermen Mr.. and Mrs.
Mink. Mr. Mink is little brown fellow found
in Manitoba, the North Woods and Yellowstone
Park. He is only about two feet long and his
wife is still smaller. You've probably heard of
them after they became coats, but that isn't all
they're famous for They're such skillful fish
ers that you should surely watch them if ever
you are where you have a chance to hunt them
out and see them at work.
The mink has white chin long, buShy tail
and short legs, and belongs to the weasel fam
lily. When he fishes he usually settles himself
on a convenient rock in midstream and there
awaits the coming of fat trout or nice
plump salmon that's just right for eating.
Suddenly he will dive, so fast your eye can
scarcely follow him. When he comes up he
always has a good-sized fish in his mouth.
Sometimes his catch is half his own length
and you wonder how he can handle it at all.
When the fisherman gets back OH his rock he
lays it down and quickly stops its struggles by
q sharp Bit Et the back of its head

MISS BERRY coughed and peered at him
A'A again and a moment later Ted hurried

be nuisance to get off his bicycle and place
all the papers in this block in a safe spot each
morning, but he wouldn't mind.
After school that evening he stopped in at
the newspaper agency to explain matters to
Mr.. Phelan, only to learn that Miss Berry
already had called, renewing her subscription
and apologizng for causing Ted trouble She
also said that she had explained matters to
the other neghbors whose papers had been

From the agency Ted went home. AS he
opened the door his mother greeted him with a
smile.
There's a surprise here for you, Ted" she
said. "A woman named Miss Berry brought
you present. It's out in the kitchen"
"A present? For me?" Ted hurried toward
the kitchen. AS he pushed the door open there
was a sudden bark and little dog rushed up
to him.
"PeteyI" Ted picked the puppy up with
cry of joy and turned questioning face to his
mother.
Miss Berry said that you could take better
care of dog than she could and that perhaps
you could teach him not to steal papers," said
his mother with smile

Bo0kmark Place Cards.

ROOK marks will be just the thing to use rs
place cards at your next tea party of
girls. That is. if you plan the affair in GER
tain way. The topic of the day should be good
reading, and each guest should be asked to
bring along her favorite book, or a good book
she is reading at the time.
You can work out various details you
choose but some time during the party 80
or As minute period should be given over to
reading. This will be best after the refresh
mentS.
The book marks are made entirely from
paper. Two pieces of stiff paper of contrasting
colors form two spears. One is about hye
inches long, the other about three and one-half
inches long Fold a piece of paper and cut
the pattern, then trace around this upon other

paper to get the shape to cut out. This done,
cut piece of paper of the same color as the
larger spear, shaped like the small, irregular
diagram in the upper right-hand corner, and
fold this on the dotted lines. Apply best-quality
liquid glue to the upper ends of the spear
pieces, putting glue also inside the tab ends.
Then press these three pieces together. Put
glue all around the edges of the tab and press
down to make good job. Finally, cut out
small disk of the darker paper, fold in half,
coat one side with glue and press down on the
end of the tab fold as shown.
You can write the name of guest on each
book mark as shown, or in smooth script. Place
the book marks in warm place so the glue will
dry quickly.
Other color schemes can be worked out Is
you wish. One suggestion would be maroon
and cream You probably get just the
paper you want from your local stationery
store.

morning deliver all his other papers
and then return to Emerald street. He would
leave the papers there as usual then conceal
himself nearby and see what happened He
was beginning to feel sure now that some mali
cious person was removing the papers from the
porches.
With this plan in mind he hurried over the
rest Of his route. Then he rode down Emerald
street as usual, throwing the papers carefully
and making sure that every one of them was
on the porch That DONE he rounded the
corner, jumped from his bicycle found a place
of concealment behind a telephone pole and
prepared to watch
For Is minutes he waited, mentally assuring
himself that it would go hard with anybody
whom he caught molestng those papers Then
he saw man come out of one house, pick up
his paper from the porch and go back in Five
minutes later another subscriber got his paper
Still Ted maintained his vigil but soon he
would have to go to school, and it looked as
though the mystery was to remain unsolved.
T>ED'S attention was caught by a small white
dog which came romping around the corner
OF Miss BerTy's house. 1t was the fox terrier
puppy which he had almost run down several
days earlier. Ted almost whistled to the dog.
then realized that he was here on serious BUSH
ness.
The puppy bounded up on the porch of the
Berry house. And then Ted suddenly uttered a
cry Of comprehension. The puppy was tugeine
at the paper with all the strength of his laws
1t was 50 tightly folded that he could not loosen
It, but he succeeded in dragging it down the
steps and out TO the yard. There he worried
1t and played with it for q time but finding
ne could do nothing but tear it and soil it a
little he gave 1t up and went gamboling away
toward Mr.. Flowers porch and another paperl
Wei, what do you know about thatv'
chuckled Ted. $50 he's the cause of ALI the

TED emerged from behind the pole and hur
r1ed toward the Berry home intent on the
idea OF replacing the paper on the porch. But
he had gone only few steps when Miss Berry
came charging out of the front door She was
a TALL lanky spinster, and just now she was
carrying broom, and there was battle In her
eye.
"Petey!" she called to the puppy. "Here
Petey! Here, Petey!"
Then she saw Ted. "Oh" she exclaimed
"You are my paper boy, aren't you?"
Yes, maam," replied Ted. And I have
been watching to see what has been happening
to your papers,"
80 have II" said Miss Berry grimly. "And
have just found out" She shook the broom
vigorously. Here, Peteyl"
"Oh, don't hurt Petey," said Ted with a smile
Hes cute little pup. Is he yours?"
