Are you going: to build a house,
A corncrib or a barn;
Or fix a fence or windmill tower?
If so, a word to warn.
We'll fix you out with best of stuff,
With lumber new and bright.
And you will find by inquiring-,
Our prices, too, are RIGHT.
Now don't forget this little rhyme.
If lumber you would buy;
And go and deal with someone else,
N ' Where prices are too high.
And then get sore and cubs your wife.
And kick the dog and cat.
Just take the shears and cut this out.
And paste it in your hat.

Mr. Barclay, who was the official

the F. O. E., one aerie, that of

TOO MANY SHEIKS
AND SHEBAS OUT
Police Find Many on the Street at
Late Honrs that Should be at
Home and Under Cover.
From Thursdays Dally.
The night police force have in the
last few weeks had more or less an
noyance in seeing that the youthful
sheiks and shebas are herded toward
home at the late hours of the night
and early morning instead of loaf
ing on the streets.
The presence of a number of young
girls on the 6treets r at 12 and 1
o'clock at night, apparently with no
particular business, has led. the' po
lice to remind them, that It was time
they were speeding homeward, but
in most cases the advice Of the police
has fallen on barren ground and the
girls remain on the job of sentry
duty until the parties they ,were
seeking arrived on the scene and
they were able to enjoy a "petting"
party before they returned to their
homes.
. A few evenings ago the police dis
covered three couples on South Fifth
street doing the billing and cooing
act and suggested to them that they
all go on home as it was past the
midnight hour, but the advice .was
ignored, as the police discovered a
little later, when the same bunch
was found over on Vine street, they
evidently- having not been able to
get their fill of spooning.
The parties should at least select
one of the more secluded spots for
their night activities if they are
bound to remain out and even better
yet, the parents should have a bunk
check each evening at "taps' to see
that the girls at least are under the
parental roof or they may have a
great deal to regret.

From Thursday's Dally.
Mrs. Viola Auxier and Wilton
Auxier, her seventeen year old son,
filed suit for $25,000 damages against
the Chicago, Bvrlington and Quincy
railroad in the district court Wed
nesday morning. The damages sought
are in compensation for injuries re
ceived by the boy while in the em
ploy of the railroad.
In their petition they allege that
on September 15, 1922, Wilton Aux
ier,. then but sixteen years of age,
was employed by the railroad to drive
a mule hitched to a small car for the
purpose of hauling rock to be used
in the construction ofa road bed.
It is charged that In his work, he
was obliged to drive his load over a
switch which was of the old type
without points where the rails them
selves were shifted from side when
the switch was thrown. While driv
ing his loaded-car' over this Bwitch
it was derailed which, they allege,
was due to the faulty construction of
the switch.
The shock of the car leaving the
track caused the load of stone to
shift and In attempting to control
the car the boy got his left foot un
der the wheels. The wheels passed
over his left foot and ankle crushing
the bones and tearing the ligaments
Infection then set in which together
with the severe nature of the in
jury necessitated several surgical op
eration3. The.result is that the foot
and ankle are stiff and immovable
and the injury, they allege is perma
nent and be is incapacitated for life
