on hand a balance of $ I ,3Q5.()(i. Among
the expenditures during the two years
were $1,0X8 for labor, $'200 for addi
tional trees and $f12.0 for a dwelling
for the caretaker, which was recently
purchased at Antioch and moved to
Alliance.
Mayor Kodgers announced that the
term of F. A. Harris as member of the
park board expired in January last,
clue to a change in the law. Mr. Har
ris was reappointed for a three-year
term, and the council confirmed the ap
pointment. The mayor announced that
he had appointed the first park board
seven years ago, consisting of M. S.
Hargraves, F. A. Harris and K. H.
Hoyd. The lafter two had leen on the
loard all the time, the latest mem
ber being T. II. Barnes. Mr. Hodgers
complimented the board on the work
that had been accomplices.
Library Basement Hill
One of the old time difficulties was
ironed out when the retiring council
voted to appropriate $2,27 from the
general fund to take care of outstand
ing warrants of the library hoard to
"cover repairs and finishing the base
ment of the building, completed over
a year ago. At the time the work was
authorized, both the council and the li
brary board were of the opinion that
they' had plenty of money to spend,
an estimate of the money to 1e real
ized from taxes based on the wrong
figures. At that time, the hoard fig
ured it would be uble to spend $500
and the council let it be understood
they would pay the re.-t. Then the
blow fell and it was learned that in
stead of the assessed valuation bein
a million dollars, it was less than
some investigating, he said, and was
anxious to get the new equipment.
The matter would probably have been
shoved through, but Councilman-elect
J. n. Irwin arose to make a few re
marks on the subject of pumps, es
pecially the air-lift variety, and at the
close of his little talk it was decided
to let the matter hold over for the
attention of the incoming council, but
commending it prayerfully to their
attention.
An ordinance was passed to care
for closing a portion of First street,
near the Newberry warehouse, and
opening another portion. This will
rot be published until some questions
concerning the title are answered.
The council voted to set aside two
half-blocks near the city park for use
as a camping ground for tourists. This
land is now owned by the city, and will
be placed under the park board, which

These two men have made a decided
success of their first venture and it is
lielieved that they will be able to make ;
the Harvey cafe one of the leading
vpatqinnnt in the city.
The new city council has arranged
to hold its next regular meeting next
Thursday, and present plans are to
hold meetings every two weeks there
after. In addition to the regular meet
ings there will be conferences with the
city manager, but it is quite probable
that there will take the form of noon
luncheons.

rate and uisiinci occasions, on nve i
separate and distinct days, and under
thi? law each of these occasions is
held to constitute a separate offense,
for the reason that Mr. Lodden was;
given ample warning.
I he first time .Sheriff Miller warned
Mr. Lodden that he was running afoul
the law, he said that this was even
so, but that he had just haJ his car
hauled in from the country, where it
had been stalled, and that the repair
artists wanted so much to put it in
running order that he intended to
junk it and realize what money he
could from the sale of tires and other
salable parts. The next time, how
ever, that the eagle eye of the sheriff
spied him, the car was filled with a
cheerful party and the car seemed to
be going under its own power. Once
the sheriff took possession of the car
and locked it up, but released it on
the assurance of Mr. Lodden that he
intended to take it right out and junk
it. The storage and costs were paid,
and the car went right back into serv
ice, still minus the license.
The case will probably come up for

and will help materially in putting

An Improvement on Pointed Linoleum
A new product, inexpensive, but made especially
to give better and lon&er service.
This extra quality is the result of making everything
that goes into.Pabcolin a little better than usual.
For instance instead of the ordinary soft oil-paint
used to surface printed linoleum, enamel paint is used.
Also, the "body" of Pabcolin is made from specially
selected rags, and waterproofed by a process that
gives Pabcolin extra resistance to moisture and rot.
Many beautiful patterns suitable for bathroom, bed
room, kitchen, laundry, hall, porch, stairs for any
room in the house.
Ask to see Pabcolin. Let us explain its special points
of superiority and the economy in using it. You will
recognize Pabcolin by its handsome, glossy surface.
