WHERE DOES THE JOKE COME IN
Froir Tuesday"? Pally.
Last evening as we walked in
from out along Chicago avenue, we
were, just as we arrived at th end
of the pavement, accosted by a sign,
which read something like this:
"All persons driving automobiles
or other motor vehicles, faster than
twelve milts per hour, or eight miles
at street crossings will be fined $50
and cats. This law will be strictly
enforced."
We thought it was really intend
ed when we read it, but remember
ing that but a short time before we
had witnessed a flock of autos, six
in number, coming down the speed
way as fast as high grade gasoline
would make them go, we thought
it a joke. Of course while the sign
forbids the speeding. the nice
smooth pavement on the other hand
jsays: "What time do you think
t your old car can make on this ave
! nue, try it once." and they most all
of them reading between lines. 'Try
the avenue out and the car too.'

ARE ENJOYING
EXCELLENT TIME
From Tuesday's Ial!".
Letters from the young ladies
who are camping at Crete, where
the encampment of the lamp Fire
Girls are spending some two weeks,
is to the effect that they are hav
ing the time of their lives, living
out in the open, where there is good
fishing, boating and kindred sports.
This will give tone to the health
and add boyancy to the spirits of the
lasses, and make them in a measure
more self confident, and able to care
for themselves, lessons which they
will have to learn some time, and
this outing will be an advance step
in making the women of them
which the next few years is asking
for.

IS HOME AGAIN
Overseas For Fourteen Months, Dis
charged At Camp Dodge
Tuesday Night.
From Wednesday s Daily.
John E. Whiteman who former
ly lived near Nehawka. and went
to the service from that place early
last year, going with the same
quota with John Miller was dis
charged from Camp Dodge last
Monday evening. He arrived from
overseas at New York on June fith.
nd was sent to Camp Dodge for
discharge. He said that his folks
did not know of his being in Amer
ica, and when he walked in on
them last evening there was much
joy, though a great surprise. John
is looking pretty fair, and while
having been in the hospital in the
Mediterranean sea. recovering from
the pneumonia, he has gained nicely
and looks himself again. He was
a member of the Caath. and says he
sure is pleased to be able to be home
again.
He was just in iuefc for Miss
Emma St. John was in the city from
his town Nehawka. and he has an
opportunity to get a ride home. He
was asking about Roy Holly, John
Miller and Charles Lahoda, while in
the city.
FIRE CRACKERS AHEAD OF TIME
From Wednesday's Daily.
There is considerable complaint
at this time of somebody making
the night hideous by firing fire
crackers until the wee small hours.
Of course people want to celebrate
the glorious fourth, and with it
goes a considerable noise, but to
begin getting people unnerved this
far ahead of the date, seems like a
little premature.
JUST ONE AT A TIME PLEASE.
From Monday's Daily.
Yes, that popular young man who
has just returned from overseas.
Corporal Maldon Rrown, has just
made purchase of a new Ford coupe.
I which just nicely accommodates
two people and if you want a ride
in this car young ladies, smile your
sweetest, for Maldon is pretty busy
except in the evenings. This is a
very f.ne car and a very handsome
and popular young man and if you
want a ride in this car soon you had
bette-r step lively. Maiden and his
friends will enjoy this new car very
much.

Startling Results. Fifteen
Runs to None.
From Mnnn.iv'p Daily.
A very interesting game to those
who were in touch with the matter
was had yesterday morning, when
the Junior Red Sox at the ball park
just off lower Main street, played
an aggregation from the south por
tion of the city, known as the South
Park team. The game which wa-
one of much interest, resulted in a
victory for the Junior Red Sox, -by
a score of 15 to 0.
The Junior Red Sox is a newly
organi7cd team and they figure on
rlaying out of town ball as much
as possible. They are made up of
the coming ball players for this
city, and will play a good fast game
of ball. They will probably go to
Cedar Creek Sunday to play the
town team at that place. A good
game is expected from them as they
have been practicing a good deal and
are in good trim to put up a good
fast game of ball.
