".U <1 Forty-one persons have died on a Hoover Dam reservation since work was started. This is far below the death toll expected. Bond- 1 t ing companies estimated that 200 persons would be killed the first year due to dangers from blasting 11 e and the excessive heat of summer. Up to January 1. 580 accidents occurred. including everything that required treatment by construe- , . I' lion company doctors. These are times when everyone •' seems to criticize public servants 0 end give vent to their feelings by ’ blaming them for taxes, improve- 1 ments and the fact that the world ’ must keep going on. Did you e\c? ' stop to think what a city council- 1 man's job is like? All sorts of com- ” plaints come to him. This person ’ ■wants that and that person wants ' something else and then it's the councilman's job to try to please *’ everybody for which he receives •' the sum of $l5O a year. Trivial f matters, petty incidents and what- 1 not are brought to him and we 1 sometimes wonder how they keep ' they equilibrium. J' It's difficult for anyone around [r a newspaper office to write any- < thing except about the kidnaping a of the Lindbergh baby. We hope i 1 that by the time this article appears in print the child, probably I the best known baby in the world, will be safe in his mother’s arms. Kidnaping is a terribh crime and the perpetrators of the act should be punished along with traitors. , The kidnapers could not have abducted any < hild in the world of <■ ■ more famous parentage and their act. swims as dreadful as murdering a President of the United t States. Os course the Lindbergh ( baby is no better than the child of < any mother or -father, because any 1 _ a i ii Inexpensive Prescription Guaranteed to End , Rheumatism Thousands joyfully astonished al I swift 48 hour relief. , Progressive piiarmacists will tell you that the popular big selling , prescription for rheumatism right now is Allenru —for 85 cents you can gel a generous bottle from , t'utsliall's Cut Rato Drug Co., or any up to dale druggist. You can get it with an absolute guarantee that if it doesn't stop the pain the agony-- and reduce the swelling in 48 hours — your money hack. Uric Acid Poison Starts To Eeave Body In 24 Hours Out of your joints and muscles go the uric acid deposits that cause all your suffering it's a safe, sensible, scientific formula free from harmful or pain deadening drugs. The same absolute guarantee holds good for sciatica, neuritis and lumbago—-quick. joyful relief —no more iule days—it removes the cause.

parent, regardless ot wealth or undying fame would feel the same pangs of suffering as Col. and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh have suffered since their tiny tot. their first born and pride was taken from them. The ransom money will be paid and the world hopes that the child will be returned safely to its parents. Its unfair to ask any business to arbitrarily reduce the price charged for a certain service or product without first knowing something about the running of that business. Most concerns today are losing money. And by that we don't mean that we want to cry out in church. The thing that most people forget is the other fellow's problem ami his side of the < ase. Every business has a fixed overhead and since production and sales have been reduced 25 to 50 per cent., the cost of producing the same product or service has increased many fold. In any business the difference between a profit and a loss is sufficient sales or production to cover the cost of overhead anti fixed charges. In these times, despite the fact that raw material, labor and other items which are necessary in the conduct of the business are lower, sales have dropped off and with the same ' charge a loss is shown. Remember that you can't build by tearing (town. Boost the other fellow and advertise. To this community, shocked by the unexpected death of Dr. Earl G. Coverdale nt six o’clock last evening, it seems unreal and Ills friends spoke today in awed reverence as they discussed the facts. At his office hut yesterday with bis usual smile and greeting, it is difficult to think that we shall see him no more in life. He was an cutstauding man in this community, widely beloved and respected, ot high moral character, whose word was worth a hundred per tent, always and whose opinions | were worth while. He was a leader I In his profession and active in lodge and civic circles. He served on the local draft board during the World Wat and later became a , lieutenant in the service. He practised with his father. Dr. J. S. Coverdale until the latters death recently, since which time he had continued alone. Dr Coverdale took a keen interest in sports, politics, general affairs and in all .kings of particular local color. A fine man whose company his friends enjoyed, he will be greatly missed here. To the widow and daughter we can but extend deep and sincere sympathies in this dark hour. o ► - — I Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "Charles got injured.’ Say. ’‘Charles was injured.'

This young actor is under contract to Samuel Goldwyn.who continues to be as good as any of them in picking star material. IN FACT, THERE’S NO STOPPING IT The boys all like to kid Jimmy Durante, but mostly he gives as good as he gets For instance, there was that wag who inquired the other day how “Schnoizle" expects to get on in a business where they admire John Barrymore. "Why say,” snapped Jimmy, "what’s Barrymore got on me? Mv profile begins where hi® leaves off.” HERE’S GOSSIP The gambling ships anchored off the California coast have a new wrinkle.

Hunt relaxed, thinking of his fine dogs and listening casually to the police broadcasts coming in on a small radio Suddenly came the sepulchral voice: “Car such and such go to ,so and so address. Men are moving furniture out of the house into a van. Two dogs are lying dead on the lawn.” There was a commotion and Hunt heaved up out of the chair. “By heavens,” he cried. “That's my house: My dogs!” As he started to rip off th 1 ’ barbers towel there were roars of laughter. A convulsed crowd explained that the radio was ‘'fixed,” and that the announcement came from the next room. CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK. What a lot of pride John Meehan must feel these days.

MOSQUITOES BEAT BUNTAN i GREEN BAY, Wis.—(U.R) - Tall ' tales about Paul Bunyan. WisconI sin’s mythical, but most famous , woodsman, are heard regularlv •' over radio here. »l Many of them are related by I Theodore T. Brown, siiperinttm•'dent of the Neville public mu- ’ scum here, but Janies Arthur rocently contrWkited a new one. Bunyan's men were troubled by ' mosquitoes in the north woods. Arthur said. These insects were the giant ancestors of the present pests. Rarely did they weigh less ' than one pound or fall to measure less than 12 inches from tip to tip. 'i Pike i»oles were used by the ‘ woodsmen in self defense against [ these insects that tore shingles . off the bunk-houses to get at the | men. Only because the tnosqui- ! i toes trampled the weakest of their I j number to death did the famous . Bunyan and his men survive. Bumble bees were obtained to fight the mosquitoes. Instead, they intermingled and produced offspring worse than either parents. with a threat at either end. The plague was relieved when they were attracted by ships bringing sugar across Lake Su-1 periot to Bunyan’s camp. They attacked and sank the ships, bat ate so much sugar they could not fly back to lai -.1 and wefe drowned. o - * —e I■ Modern Etiquette -byROBERTA LEE Q.
