trump and 800 pinochle, total of
1900 He has proof of his ac-
complshment in the persons of DR..
Niles, Bill Pratton and Chef Chris
Hanson
It just goes to prove that some
fellows have all of the luck.
The small son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Loren Kelly set record of some
sort last week when he had his
first hair cut, by professional bar
Der, Butch Rasmussen -.
You folks probably think there is
nothing to this business of having
your hair cut other than handing
out the four-bits at the completion
of the operation s.. Young MIR.
Kelly found the job cost him no
thing and it looks like he will be
regular customer at Butch's :.
The young fellow was only two
weeks and two days old at the
time of his first hair cut. ;.
That's really something for the
archives i. 2.
According to Fire Chief George
Wood there are number of build
ings in this city which have stoves
in them that do not have the smoke
pipes insulated in accordance with
no 1o{s cot fnv-f1, nv
of the city ordinances
The ordinance in part J. Smoke
pipes shall enter the side of Chin
aeys through fire clay or metal
thimble or flue-ring of masonry
=. Smoke pipes shall not pass
through combustible partitions
unless properly insulated
The clear distance between a smoke
pipe or metal breeding and COM
bustible material or construction,
including plaster or combustible
base, shall be not less than thirty
six inches for medium or high heat
appliances
The penalty for violation, under
section 80, is fine of not less than
$40, nor more than $780,, or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding six
months, or by both such fine and
imprisonment, and each day such
violation shall be permitted to exist
shall constitute separate offense.
Any person having anything to do
with the construction of a building
violating this ordinance is also Ii
able
1t might be well to bear the above
ordinance in mind if you are plan
ming to build it is for your
protection from fire as we'll as from
the law
Speaking of fire it comes to us
that some folks have a wrong i'm
preston of the manner in which
the funds derived from the Easter
Monday Ball are spent =.
Chief Wood tells us that none Of
the members of the department re-
ceive wages for their services ).
Therefore it is only fitting and pro-
per that when clothes are ruined in
line of duty that they be replaced
here is where great portion
of the money is spent The
remainder goes for incidentals to
keep the meeting room in the city
hall in good condition and the re-
mainder is spent on the annual
spring picnic
You see the money is not thrown
away for it supplies clothes, re-
placements and little fun for those
fellows who are willing and brave
enough to fight fire in your home
at any hour of the day or night !.

years they have sold very nicely
/. What do you say we keep

What's this we hear about Tom
Brindley and Clay Parker loading
their big catch of fish on one side
of the car, thus causing it to over
balance and tip over?
Definitely and without a doubt
we know it spring is here
