For This Fox

LYNBROOK, L. l., Sept. 27.
The question of whether a fox
can lead his own life was de-
cided in the negative today by
Justice of the Peace Edward T.
Neu, Of Lynbrook. The justice
ruled that the owner of a fox
must provide him home even
if the fox prefers to provide his
own.
William Cook. of 225 South
Grand Ave-, Baldwin, was in
court on complaint Of Helen
Guttman, neighbor, who testi.
fled Mr.. Cooks fox was housed
in a packing box With one side
knocked out. Cook said the ami
NAL burrowed into the ground
under the box in the same way
he found shelter in the WildS.
The complainant said she could
see the animals tail protruding
when it was raining. Cook re-
piled that the fox did not mind
that, or he would have burrowed
deeper.
Justice Neu suspended SEN
tence and ordered Cook to build
a better sheltC".

MORE TOSTRIKE.
At HEAT PLANT

The prospect of a general strike
at the Central Heating Plant Rp-
peared today as a result of a
jurisdictional dispute, one of a
long series, between bricklayers
and asbestos workers over the In
stallation of boilers there.
L. w. Fuller, superintendent
for the Rust Engineering Com
pany, asserts that the Washing
ton Building Trades Council has
indicated that general strike
will be called if the work is not
given to the asbestos workers.
The executive council of the
building trades group will report
today on certain jurisdictional
matters, including the Contro-
versy between boilermakers and
iron workers over the erection Of
smokestacks at the plant.
The boilermakers struck Sep
tember II, and 10 men have
been idle, but the executive Coun-
Gil has decided that they should
return to work.
Carpenters have initiated
new jurisdictional dispute over
the setting of conveyor belt pull
ley Innings by elevator construc-
tors. This work is said already
to be 95 per cent finished. Mean
while caulking of window frames
has been suspended while iron
workers and bricklayers decide
who shall do tha work.
The heating plant is scheduled
to be ready by January l and
delay would mean that 50 Fed
eral buildings would be deprived
of heat.

NOTE
ANNIVERSARY

One Of Washington's Oldest
business partnerships today cele-
brates it's twenty-ninth birthday.
The firm originated when two
brothers purchased a mule and
cart. It now ranks as one Of
the largest in it's industry.
Twenty-Five years ago Leonard
P. Steuart and Guy T. Steuart
founded L. P. Steuart & Bro, Inc.
They purchased with their entire
funds one mule and cart and
entered the coal and ice business.
Leonard P. Steuart was the
only full time employe. His

In 1881, in conjunction with
the coal business, this firm
entered the oil burner and fuel

ers the certificate which grant.
the local association the right to
be known as a Standard Associ.

This certificate was granted
as a result of the successful ac-

consisted of Mrs. James Luthy.

Parents and Teachers has pre-
pared two lists of requirements
as goals for the local associa-
tions to attain, one is called
Stanard rating, which must be
attained before the other which
is called Superior rating, may be
attained. 1t is entirely arbri-
trary whether an association at
temps to meet these require
ments or not but they have been
established with the idea that
the association fulfilling or at
tempting to fulfill the require
ments will be a large and active
association. Having attained
the Standard rating last year
the local association is hoping
to earn the Superior rating this
year.

AN EARLY PREACHER

The tale is told of Rev. David
McFawn who for two or three
years was the pastor of the NJ.
E. church of this city. He and
a Tombstone merchant, spent
the night in a rancher's home
in the Huachucas, 1t was the
first time the rancher had ever
entertained a minister and
nothing was too good for him.
At breakfast his health was
drunk in milk punch. The
pitcher was passed and the
preacher helped himself liberal
ly. Then the host thought it
wise to ask the minister to re-
turn a card of thanks and with
a solemn look upon his face,
Mack bowed his head and said.
'Oh Lord. grant that every
rancher in Arizona may own a
cow that will give milk like
this. "---Tombstone Epitaph.

The News has been an ski
folio published quarterly the
past Is months; the new man
agement are printing a seven
column folio at the Casa Grande
Dispatch Office announcing 1T
will be published weekly here
after for Coolidge.
Coolidge is rather a small
place to support two papers
and business must pick up
greatly in order to give them
the required amount of patron
age. We have published the
Coolidge Examiner since Feb.
1881, through the depression,
and although it was a hard
struggle we gave our readers an
eight page, seven column paper
each week. We feel that the
citizen of Coolidge will appre-
ciate our efforts of the past and
continue to give the Examiner"
the patronage it has justly
earned.
