" Citizens Arc Cleaning up the Lawns and Trimming the Trees. Clti/ons of Norfolk are making fern n "city bountiful. " Business cast aside for the day , the head of the house in many parts of town can be seen don ned In overalls and wide straw hat busy raking up the yard or , with the aid of a garden hose , coaxing last year's lawn to its holiday appearance. Already the lawn mower has been sharpened and used. Many have been disappointed over the unexpected cold weather because they have planted their gardens and those green things that had reached above the earth have been killed by the frost and , consequently , a renewal of that work was necessary. The trim ming of the trees , although overlooked by some , has generally been done and there is no doubt now that when the weather man assures Norfolk of no more unexpected visits from old win ter , the residence district will be more beautiful than ever.

You can't "buzz" the telephone glr In Norfolk over the wire any more Times have changed. You used to be able to. But nowadays there's no flirtation on the phone line with the central olllce. "Hollo , Girlie ; how long do you have to work ' " 111 give you information , " comes back the voice. And you're switched over 10 the "information" operator or the "chief. " And feeling like a two-spot you hang up the receiver because you have noth ing to say , or you ask some foolish question that you didn't have in mind nt all. When the telephone game was new you could call up the telephone gir and chat between calls for an hour I or so. She'd keep you on the line ru leave you only long enough to an swer the calls that came in now and then. That's when there was just on\ I girl In the olllco to do the whole I work. But old times have changed. And ( along with the stagecoach and cowboy jthat you see today only on the stage Ihas gone the telephone girl that yoi [ could chin by wire. Twenty years ago when the telephone | phone was llrst Installed In Norfolk 3no operator couldn't keep busy an swerlng the 100 subscribers to save tier soul. So she chocheted and rea u novels and talked with the smooth voiced young nmn who called up. But now there are a dozen of her In the office. And she's all busy. Too iusy to talk nonsense. "Number ? " B all that she can say because the , hlof won't let her say anything else. . . New Railroad Into Norfolk. | Here's a new Norfolk-Yankton Btory.

The mayor recommended that this ordinance be repealed. Because of the saloon feature of the recent message , Councilman Knuff- man voted against even accepting the mayor's document. Many Carry Guns In Norfolk Today. The question as to how many people there are In Norfolk who would bo able to shoot straight with a revolver in case of an emergency has boon an swered by a business man here who deals In tlrearms. This man believes that many Norfolk people are good marksmen with the revolver , and it would bo nn easy matter iu case of ' morgency for n Inrgp number ol Nor- oik men to produce their revolvers mil Bhoot very straight , owing to the act that a large number of people met n everyday life on Norfolk avenue carry conceale'd weapons. I can pick out a dozen mou walk- ng on Norfolk avenue , " stxys this man , who carry revolvers concealed In the lothing in different ways. See that nan going down the street ? " he olnted to a man well known to many Vorfolk people. "Well , ho carries an lutomatlc revolver with him. A string s tied around his neck with one end I fastened to the butt of the pistol , which hangs loosely on the inside of ils trousers , always ready to bo put n use. There are many others here who carry revolvers in their coat pock ets and in the hip pockets of their trousers. " From this information it is believed I that many Norfolk men are looking for emergencies and that they would 1 no doubt , shoot very straight should I the emergencies come. COUNTRY CLUB OPENING.

Dnllns News : The great influx of new settlers Into this country and the Immense amount of freight demanded here to supply the needs of this torc rltory has grently outgrown the pros1 ent cnpncity of the railway accommo- dntlons here nnd it is with great dlf1 Hculty that the public receive any serli vice such ns they nre entitled to here. The ynrdnge is grently Insufficient , the freight depot is over crowded with merchandise nnd perishable1 goods and car load after car lend of freight Is stored in box cars on the tracks and it is with the greatest ef fort tha.t freight Is located. The men omployotl nl the utivtlon to care for this Immense Volume of business arc over worked and with their very best efforts with the poor facilities they linve for handling the business of the compnny , they cannot render sntlsfac- tory service.

Thieves at Beemer. Bcomor Times : Last Saturday proved to bo n night for thieves in Ueemer. Although the facts in the cases did not leak out until Wednes day the stories told by those who wore victims seems to be corroborated and of the real thing. Sometime Saturday night R. X. Rehberg was relieved of $2U in good hard cold cash. Mr. Reh berg has not been in the habit of locking his house at night and of course the robbers had easy access. As Sunday was a cold dismal clay Mr. Rehberg did not have any pnrticular use for his pocketbook nnd did not miss It until late in the day. The robbers had entered the house ana taken the pocketbook from his trous ers and taken out the cash and then threw the purse into the baby cab which was in an adjoining room. Mart Gallagher was the next victim and here they made a haul of some- thing over ? 12. Like Rehberg they never locked their door and the next morning when parties In the homo arose they found the bnck door open. The robbers hnd entered the house and gone into Mart's sleeping apart ments without invitation , took his trousers from the bedpost and relieved them of the purse and the money. ' From here the thieves called on William Briggs , the mail carrier , and while it is the usual custom for them to lock their house at night Mr. Briggs is not absolutely certain nbout this pnrticulnr night. They entered the house sometime in the night , how ever , nnd relieved him of something over $2. The next morning inmntes of the home found the back door open and the empty pocketbook lying on the washing machine just outside the door. The boys made no holler Sun < day because they were not sure that the money had been tnken , ns stated by one gentleman he just supposed the money had been removed ns a joke by some member of the family. Two others of them presumed they hnd lost their wallets on the street by some accident or laid it down some where. Lnter developments disclosed the nbove facts , however , and a still hunt is being made. It is thought the thieves were old hands at the business nnd were n part of the Sioux City gnng , who just took n run out into the country n little wny to ranke n little raise. In all the loss es reported to date aggregate some thing over | 50. Jenny Wren Club Elects. The Jenny Wren club was enter tained at the home of Shirley Engle Monday nfternoon.
