EARNING GOOD HONEY
WAS
'' Forced to subsist on a nickel's
worth of dried rolls and water for
more than four days, with her hus
band making daily wage of over $3,
has been just one of the many in
stances of neglect and abuse that Mrs.
James Park, 3514 North Thirty-ninth
street, related in police court that she
tld her two small children have been
Compelled to undergo. .

for nonsuppprt and abusing his fam

little eirl 6 vears of see.
The husband and father, according
to Mrs. Parks, works part of the time
in summer, and then only contributes
in an intermittent and inadequate
manner to his family's support. In
the winter and a good part of the
summer months the wife sews . by the
day and earns a meager living.
Their home is little more than a
one-room cement hole, with a roof
that leaks as though it were not there
and a dirt floor that runs to puddles
when it rains for any length. The
whole structure measures about 8x10
feet. . , . . . , , .

Rain Puts Damper
On Enthusiasm of
Trade Trip Boosters
The .rain disappointed about 100 en
thusiastic boosters who had intended
to make an automobile trade trip to
Wahoo, Valley, David City and about
a dozen other towns in the state Fri
day morning. This had to be called off
on account of the muddy condition
of the roads following tne ram last
night.
Commissioner Manley of the Com
mercial club began to receive tele
phone calls at ' his home -before 6
o'clock in the morning from the anx
ious ones who did not like to have the
trip postponed. In the meantime
word was received from Valley and
David City to the effect that the con-
ition ot the roads all along tne line

POSTMASTER QUESTIONS
YOUNG LETTER CARRIERS
Twenty young men who have
passed the civil service examinations
for letter carriers presented them
selves before Postmaster Wharton to
answer questions regarding them
selves. The postmaster will select
ten from the number to be put on
the list of substitute letter carriers.
Colonel Wharton fixes, a high
standard that the men must reach.
"Thousands of people judge the
government by you," he told them.
"The daily visits of the mail carrier
are the only personal contact they
have with the federal government. It
is, therefore, necessary for the mail
carriers to be exemplary men."
He asked each man whether he ever,
indulged in liquor and whether smok
ing and gambling were among his
failings.
