MONTAGUE NO DANGER A Western Board of Trade has passed a resolution against the employ ment of pretty stenographers. Dear Fhyllis though the Board of Trade Has vowed that it is going to get you, Because your lovely face has made Too big a hit don't let that fret you. It's true you girls with limpid lamps And melting looks that brook no curbing, Have been denounced as Office Vamps" Much less efficient than disturbing. But though you cause the handsome clerk To shirk his job, and to the stranger Who happens in, you give The Work, Your place is not in any danger. A Board of Trade is many men From every thought of evil fleeing; Your boss is something else again He's just a single human being. A Board of Trade has moral sense; Bound by a strong commercial tether, Its members are a bunch of gents Most proper (when they're all together). And though they have decided that You must be banished from the city, Paste this reflection in your hat: Your boss, himself, prefers you pretty. You dolled yourself to get the job; Your charms you marshalled which were legion The boss beheld, and felt a throb Arising in his cardiac region. A Board of Trade might have foreseen The help would too much have admired you The while you tapped on your machine Your boss, however, promptly hired you. We've been around most every place, ' Pursuing this and that vocation, And never knew a pretty face , To cost a girl her situation! SAFE Florida is going to limit lawyers to $3,000 a year. But Mr. Bryan who has recently moved there doesn't practice law any more. EMBARRASSING Now we have got peace we don't seem to know what to do with it. METHOD IN HIS MADNESS We don't believe Lenine is as crazy as reported. He sent Bill Hay wood back to this country. Oojiyrljht, 1021. by Tte Bell Syndicate. Ino. Heads Humane Body Lincoln, July 22.

Otdrntowmdn Got i SIXTEENTH AND HOWARD STREETS Young Wife Prays As Bathers Work On Drowned Mate Husband Found Unconscious In 20 Inches of Water at Lake Manawa Efforts to Rcsusitate Him Fail. Helpless and afraid, the pretty young wife of Arthur James Wood, 22, prayed aloud Thursday night as she watched fellow bathers at Lake Manawa attempt to resuscitate her husband, who was found unconscious in 20 inches of water along the beach, fhe Woods, with a party of friends, had gone to the lake for a swim. Young Wood, who was employed by the Missouri Pacific in Omaha and lived at 1827 Fourth avenue, Council Bluffs, was subject to faint ing spells because of a weak heart, according to his wife. He was found unconscious in the water and fellow bathers carried him to shore, making efforts to re vive him while awaiting Dr. J. C. Anderson, who had been sum moned. All efforts failed. Absence of any great amount of water in the 3'oung man's lungs led Dr. Anderson to express the belief he had suffered a fainting spell and died of heart disease while in the water. The young wife is employed in the safety deposit department of the Council Bluffs Savings bank. Be sides her, young Wood is survived by his mother, Mrs. J. H. Wood; two half-sisters and cJie half-brother. Coroner Cutler took charge of the body. No inquest will be held. Bloomfield Entertains Hartington Booston Party Bloomfield, Neb., July 22. (Spe cial.)

Body of Indian Boy Killed By Train Is Identified by Pal Fremont, Neb., July 22. (Special Telegram.) The mangled form of the Indian youth found on the rail road tracks at Winslow Tuesday was identified as that of Clarence White, 16, of Winnebago and runa way charge of the Genoa school.

Ranchers started cutting their hay flats here this week and the majority of reports received so far indicate a short crop. The Goose Creek country south of here is the exception, as the cutting along this valley appears to be about normal. Most of the smaller ranchers are vorking short-handed to save the heavy expense of putting up the crop. The larger ranchers are work ing full crews as fast as they can get the men and most of them need from two to six more men. It is estimated that not to exceed two-thirds of the hay ground will be cut this year as . the excessive freight fates prevent the usual amount of baling for shipment on the market, so the hay men are planning on putting up just enough for their own cattle.
