C. Gaynor, of Sioux City, was em ployed as engineer for the $300,000 paving prt'jnct to he inaugurated in May this .year. "Mr. Uaynor pre sented the lowest bid," Mayor J. L. Phillipe, of the city, said last even ing. "All bids were sealed. The new engineer will start work at once appraising the anticipated cost and preparing for bids, which will be received in a few weeks." Mr. uay nor was former city engineer of Sioux City. He engineered the first con crete paving laid in Sioux Cjty in 1911 and has been prominent . as a contracting engineer in this section for several years. The council, af ter a conference, voted to make the entire city of South Sioux City, as now laid out, a single' paving dis trict. There had been a discussion as to whether to include the entire city in the paving district or sim ply the downtown section. But 'two other bids were presented, both of these coming from Sioux City en gineers representing contracting con cerns of this city. The Gaynor bid was 1 per cent lower than those of fered by the other Arms. The en gineer will be awarded 4 per cent of the gross cost of the paving for his services. Sioux City Journal, 18: The oper ations of an alleged gang of box car thieves who have plied their trade in two states for several months past wos'brought to light Monday and yes terday with the arrest by railroad agents and police of Iowa and Ne braska of three men and the confisca tion of stolen merchandise valued at $1,000. The arrest followed raids conducted in the two days past on the W. H. Horton home, at 1804 Floyd avenue, the G. W. Horton Jiome in South Sioux City,' Neb., and the. Harry LtUid residence at 1909 Illinois, avenue, this city. "The entire Horton. family, including parents and a son. were arrested. In searching the South Sioux City residence of the Hortons, besides a large amount of merchandise round hidden under a pile of hard coal in the basement and in various room?, the raiding squad uncovered a nqarly complete moonshine "still," evidently used in the manufacture of whisky, secreted in the basement. A. L. Mathwig, chief of a staff of special railroad agents connected with Iowa and Ne-i braska railroads in this section, led! the raiding squad. He co-operated with Chief of detectives Gus Dan ielson, of the Sioux City police de partment, and Sheriff George Cain, of Dakota City, Neb. Detectives Fred Spencer and "Harry Luce, of Sioux City, also assisted. "We had worked on this case four days," Mr. Mathwig stated last evening. "On Monday afternoon we raided the Hor ton home, at 1904 Floyd avenue, and the Harry Lund home, at 1909 Illinois avepue, Sioux City, and recovered a lot of merchandise., Today wq raid ed the South Sioux City residence of Horton and found a moonshine still OF SERVICE SAVE Every man, woman and child should stop spending money " or things which do not contribute to their health or comfort. A "save" program must be instituted , instead of the "spend and speculate" fever which has seized the public. Decreased consumption brought about by saving will help meet the present cost of living and help reduce it. . 4 The buying of things not needed means a waste of materials. It cuts down supply and forces prices up., Everybody must see to it that waste rtop. No one is exempt. xBegin today ond actually save. Make it practical saving. Do not eliminate things you need. Chop off the things you do not need and really will not miss. MAKE A START IX BRINGING DOWN THE COST OF LIVING GOODWIN SJTATE BANK . GOODWIN, A NEBRASKA "Everything -in Banking" besides a lot of merchandise. The loot recovered is worth about $1,000." W. H. Horton and his wife were ar rested with Harry Lund. They were tried in police court yesterday morn intr on a charge of receiving and aid ing in the concealment of stolen property. They took a continuance until March 25, Lund, who is held for investigation, is under indictment for the alleged theft of merchandise from box cars. Special Agept J. J. Young, of 'the 'St. Paul railroad, ar rested; GT W.' Horton, 82 years old, a' switchman, son of W. H. Horton, yes terday afternoon at Fourth and Ne braska streets. He is held for in vestigation. Last evening friends who sought to interview him at the police station were denied the re quest. According to Mr. Mathwig on investigation into the activities of box car thieves' has been going on sinije last July, when goqds began to disappear from box cars side tracked in yards 'hero and in South' Sioux City. It was known that an organized gang was operating In the district and the recovery of the mer chandise this week and the arrest of property owners is the first substan tial developement. "We hope for other 'arrests,", he said. The "still" discovered in the Horton homo was complete, according to Sheriff Cain, of Dakota City, who was with the raiding party, with the exception of a copper coil. It was about two and a hol feet high and a foot and a half in diameter at the base. It was constructed in a funnel shape like a megaphone. No jugs or other evi dence of the "plant" having been in Operation Were found. The Horton honie is a one-story frame building. The .two homes in Floyd and Illinois avenues are similar in construction. It is believed that if an organized gang of box car thieves exists it has another and, more ingenious and ex tensive rendezvous. TJie fact that operations were carried on in two states complicates matters. Rail road police who participated in the raids are: J. L. Moore, chief of yards for the Northwestern railroad; J. B. Richard, traveling special aRent for the Northwestern railroad; J. J. Young, special agent for the Omaha road and Mr. Mathwig, also of the Omaha road. Mr. Richard was for merly chief of detectives and also chief of police of Sioux City. Nebrasku Potatoes Are Winner Nebraska carried o!F first prize as a state at the interstate potato show at Denver recently, in competition with the great potato states of Colo rado, Utah and Wyoming. In addi tion, soveral first, second and third individual variety prizes were taken by this state. With an annual pro duction of moro than ton million bushels, Nebraska is rapidly forging to tho front as a potatb stute, Ex periments conducted in the last two years in several southern states show that Nebraska seed potatoes produce as good if not better than seed from the more famous northern states. Seed potatoes from this state, as well as table stock, are gaining In favor, and Indications point to lorge mar kets being developed for this Nobros ka product, especially in the south ern states.

Tho seventh and eighth grades en tertained themselves with a February party, held at the school house on Tuesday night. ' The committee on entertainment and refreshments vied with each other in their efforts to please, but the ice cream was the only feature in which tho refresh ment committee "had tho drop" on their rivals. Tho saddest event was the strenuous efforts required to In duce Pete Anderson and Ted Graham to taste the Ice cream and to get them to stop when they had once started. Pete said he never could bear to have ice cream in sight any way. The past week proved a disastrouo one in athletics. Four games were played, two by each team. But there are those who say we still would bo counting tho score if we had had tho whole first team at Emerson; for as it was, with Heikes and Sides play ing on tho first team right aftei their game with Emerson's second team, Emerson was forced to exert all its strength to win by a score of 35 to 12. Tho second team lost to Emerson by a scord of 22 to 10. The "scrubs" played rings around their rivals in floor work, displaying spectacular passing and speed; but they could not locato tho basket nor guard ef fectively tho larger players of Emer son's second team. Great credit is due Sides and Heikes for tho won derful exhibition they put up in both games. Sides bids fair to bo one of the most difficult men to guard that a forward ever backed up against, Ranging all around his end of the floor, jumping high in tho air and spoiling many a chanco of a long shot to forward, and getting rid of the- ball quickly and accurately, ho showed tho speed and class of a far m6ro experienced player. Heikes needs a little steadying, but has al ready developed an uncanny ability on long shots from tho middle of tho floor; ho dribbles, passes and guards like an old timer. Experience and growth will mako of him a player of no mean ability. Dakota City's lino up at Emerson was as follows: 1st Team. 2nd Team.

This has been overcome by tho uso of tho home-made dress forms which, when completed, costs but very llttlo and are a real saver in time and money. Twenty-seven wo men in tho county havo taken t-d-vantage of such holp. Sinco tho price of roady-mado clothes a well as baro materials ore high, tho homemoker finds that this aids lu bringing down the cost of her wardrobe. This also gives one tho opportunity to dress as she wishes by making it posslbletfor her to see lines and stylo on a figure like her own.

Cracklings .make a very ,gopd .soap, and tho present price of soap should only give one added determination to mako their own soap. Tho 'following recipe has been found to be successful: Add to three gallons of water, one box'-bf .concen trated lye and four and a half-pounds of cracklings, and boll for, two hours and ten minutes. Then add, a. small half pint of salt and boil 35 minutes longer. Add half a gallon of .hot wa ter and allow to come to a boll.
