Lunn spoke for the propoaltlon, telling of the need of a city park for the boys and r rl who now Bpend their Sun day afternoons wandering over the aurroundlng prairie witb no place of particular interest to go. He con sidered the park a good community center. Secretary Bushnell stated that there had been a many as five hun dred people at the concert. Coun cilman Johnson caused much laugh ter by stating that this was more than he had been able to get out to c.ean up their lota he I chlrman of the committee on street and al ley. Tbe matter of the appropria tion was laid over until the special meeting to be held next Tuesday ev ening. Chairman Johnson of the commit tee on streets and alleys stated that he bad been very busy getting them cleaned up and that another week of good weather would see a big Im provement In their condition. Chair man Hills of the committee on fire and water stated that the city drink ing fountain on the bank corner had been running since May 1. when It became an absolute necessity the prohibition law taking effect on that date. He also stated that the fire department needed 1600 feet of new fire bose. He promised to test out the bose now on hand and report its condition at the next meeting. Steve Jackson, official dog catcher for past administrations and ex offic io blackface comedian, was present with a report showing nineteen dogs killed In the past ten days. It was suggested that there were dead dogs at the city dump which had not been burled. Steve said he buried all the doga he killed and aaked if he wan supposed to bury dogs he did not kill. The mayor stated he guessed he was, as be had more time than anyone else. Said Steve, "For not,b in'? That don't Bound good to me.' Councilman Hill Jokingly asked Steve why he hadn't put a tag last year on Dr. Bellwood's dog, Sandy. Steve came back with the query, "What about your dawg, Mr. Hill?" The Joke was on the councilman who played safe and purchased a tag be fore leaving. It was announced that Steve would continue to be a hold over from the last administration and that he could not be officially re appointed until his bond was pre sented and approved. The amount of the bond was fixed at 1250,000. Mayor Kousey brought up the pro position of having an official city fu migator for the purpose of seeing that houses in which there had been contagious diseases were properly fumigated. He also believed that the prices for this work should be regulated by ordinance. The com mittee on health was instructed to investigate and report on the mat ter. The salary of the sexton of the cemetery was raised from $60 to $70 per month. Ordinance number 231, drawn up by former Councilman Helpbrlnger and known aB the chick en ordinance" was read and passed. It ia published elsewhere in The Herald today. The proposition of curbing and guttering Box Butte ave nue waa brought up. Tbe mayor stated that the city could not afford to advance the money for this pur pose for from seven to nine years, but that if tbe parties who desired the work done would pay cash for the same when the work waa com pleted he was in favor of it. Also, She was alone. The Impatient snap ping of the kitchen fire and the mur murous monotone of the rain were the only sounds that broke the dreary si lence of sullen gray November. And It was Thanksgiving day. "The boys," her two middle-aged sons, were In the town somewhere. They would be home to dinner r-nd way again. She hoped they were hav ing a good time. There wa a rap at the door. Grand ma's eyes were red and she would rather not e anyone Jut now. "Come In," ahe finally called, not knowing what else to do. "All aloneT" cheerily sang out the visitor, the daughter of an old-time frend. Tbe aged woman turned her back to her caller for an Instant and fur tively wiped her eyes. "You haven't anything to do today, lave your" asked the visitor. "Notbin' but git dinner," was the re ply. "I'm gtttln' a nice dinner for tbe boy." "Can't tbe boy cook f wa the ab rupt question. "Anyway," she added, "I've come to carry yon away for tbe day." Grandma' back straightened up Just a notch. "Where T" he panted, look ing scared. 8he couldn't remember when she had been away from hom at mi.nl time "Out to slater Jane s," wa the re ply. "Ton know mother live with her, and yon two can talk over the time when yon were girl. We're going to have a real old-style Thanksgiving and I know you'll enjoy It." It was Juat what grandma had been longing and yearning for to be Invited out where she would be Installed In a comfortable rocking chair and visited with as If she were still a human being and not Just a run-down old plow horse. "I'd like to go." she began, "but John and Harry " "Oh, don't worry about John and Harry," Interrupted the visitor. "It'll be a lark for them to get their own dinner for once. YouH go, won't you?" A guilty look crept over grandraa'a face, but she finally said : "I never done sech a thing before In ray life, but I Will go Jest this once." "That's right," smiled the friend. "Be ready by eleven. We are going early to help with the dinner." Back to the kitchen grandma tot tered. Hurriedly and nervously she scrubbed herself, and smoothed her scanty hair to the sheen of white satin. When ahe was all ready she looked at the clock. It was only ten. She would have time to begin dinner for the boys. Soon her trembling hands were mix ing the pastry. But. her thought they were playing truant, traveling step by step backward over many Thanksgivings to the time when her good husband wan alive and 11 chil dren were all at home. At length the pumpkin was prepared and In the crust, and grandma was i carefully putting the pies In the oven, ' hoping they would be good. Suddenly, as If seised by the sharpest pain, she cried: Oh o o o! If I hain't clean ' forgot the spices! I'll bev to stir 'em 'that IhiB work could be bo done that In uow!" It was not long before the spicy aroma begun to diffuse Its fragrance through the house. And what a differ- it would not interfere with paving when the street is paved. A resolu tion for guttering and curbing on ,1'oluca avenue in district number 9 ; was adopted. Bids will be asked ence It made! It was like the spirit of for. The clerk was also ordered to Thanksgiving. The tire cruckled mer- I advertise for bids ou sewer In dis rlly.

J The movement to enlarge the cor The tea kettle began a real nnthem, porute limita of the city, taking in outlying portions wnicn now uhvc j the benefit of city sewer, water and i lights but do not pay city taxes, re ceived considerable attention. The mayor said that the additional taxes and at last grandma's heart warmed Up. too, and began to sing with it. She was Just singeing the turkey m fine plump yellow-skinned one her fanner son had sent by parcel post when s rapping on the front door near ly caused tier to drop It Into tbe fire. Near (be door of the living room bung a picture of the entire family mother and father and sons and daughters-' all standing in three straight rows. As grandma passed it. she no ticed every eye gazing at her with keenest scrutiny. "Are you ready V" cried her frleud's voice from the well-tilled automobile at the curb. "I declare 1 can't go.

And it's an inch bigger too in the circumference. Its heroic size, however, is designed to fit 30-inch rims cn Ford cars. It is made solefy with the five finger safety tread. It costs but little more than ordin ary tires at the outset; and the nattier appearance and added com fort it gives your Ford car, and its own greater dollar ECONOMY, make it the better buy in the end.
