They are making an effort to secure a large plat as near the center of the city as possible which can be used as a frei parking space, lighted and policed, but this Is not as easy to do as you might imagine unless you try to discover and secure such a space, In the meantime It will help exceedingly it town folks make a special effort to leave the parking space for the visitors who come here to trade. Last Saturday evening cars were parked thiee to four squares each way from the court house, evidence of a splendid trading center.

"Kid Mayor" of this little city of 3.700 having completed his first term has been returned to office by an unanimous vote of confidence. Ungrodt, who was only twenty-three when first elected mayor in the spring of 1924 by a two to one vote over a man thriee his age. has so conducted municipal affairs that his administration will go into local history as the most remarkable the city has every experienced. Graduating from Lawrence College, Appleton. Wis. in 19.’:; he returned to Washburn and went into hardware store as joint manager. Ten months later he was swept into office on an overwhelming tide of public approval. The citv's tio tides were mostly of a financial nature and he went after them with youthful enthusiasm. He and his councflmen served with out salary and alt expenses were cut to an absou'.te minimum. To raise necessary funds he boosted the tax rate to 7.15 per cent, the highest rate in'the state. Tax collections were increased $12,000 and the city began to find its feet. The second year the rate

Through such stringent measures the city’s total debt of almost SIOO,OOO was reduced about $25,000 in two years. The city is now on a firm financial footing for the first time since pre-war days.

I'll make the most of every day while any life remains, Nor will I let the spirit wince because of body pains. I shall not frown about,the town and cry that youth should be suppressed, I shall not let my nature sour or lend my lips to scold. My body may with time decay neath wrinkled brow and hollow chest: The heart of me, defying time, shall still he warm and bold; I'll walk the earth a whistling boy whose overcoat is old.

volume of 5 per cent, the Ungrodt store experienced q 25 per cent increase as well as showing the first net profit t Ince the boom days of the war. The Boy Mayor's remarkable success has gained such wide attention that he has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Congress from his district but his next step will probably be into the state assembly. Ungrodt believes implicity in the introduction of business methods into the affairs of government. He says: "The voters control the situation. They can elect men of business ability with an unselfish interest !n the duties connected with the officers of government Given the right personnel, any governmental body can adopt itself to business methods."

Avoid Poorly Balanced Breakfasts Start the day with Quaker Oats —food that “stands by” you. IF you feel tired, hungry, "fidgety.” hours before lunch, don't jump to the conclusion of poor health. Thousands have unenergetic mornings because they start the day with wrong breakfasts. To feel right, you irntt have a wellbalanced, complete —-eakfut ration. At most other mea.s — lunch and dinner — you get it. But breakfast is a hurried meal, often badly chosen. Thus Quaker Oats, containing 16% protein, food's great tissue builder, 58% carbohydrate, its great energy element, plus all-important •vitamines and the “bulk" that makes laxatives seldom needed, is the dietetic urge of the world today. • It is food that “stands by" you through the morning Quick Quaker cooks in 3 to 5 minutes. That s faster than plain toast. Don't deny yourself the natural stimulation this rich food otters you. Quaker Oats
