several das Ht is checking up the
stored booze to ascertain just how
many cases of beer were taken.
Nearly 1,200 cases were removed

Sheriff Clark has detailed deputies
to investigate the ownership of the
mvsterious master key.
TJeputy county attorneys and oth
ers also are trying to run down the
daring sneak thief.

Union Tacific Headquarters
At Union Pacific headquarters the
system of "burning daylight," as it
has been called, will be discontinued
October 1. so far as work hours are
concerned. After that date employes
will commence work at 8 o'clock in
the (morning, work until noon, be
given an hour off for lunch and. re
turning to their duties, work until 5
o'clock in the afternoon, with the
Saturday work hours from 8 to 1
o'clock.
Under the "burning daylight" plan
in force during the summer months,
the work hours wer from 7 in the
morning until 4:30 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, with an hour off between
noon and 1 o'clock.
When clerks are called upon to
work overtime at night the company
will give them their suppers, allowing
65 tents a meal.
Electric Shocks for Those
Who Signal City Hall "Lifts"
The new elevators in the city hall
themselves are all right. They never
lay down as did the old ones and
make the city employes take to the
stairs. But the button caps on the
elevator indicators have a habit of
coming off and when one tries to push
the button to bring the elevator to
his floor he is likely' to get an elec
tric shock that jars him to his knees.
Several caps have been lost and new.
ones ordered have not arrived.
