Tonight—Fair and warmer.
Wednesday—Fair.
In an adjoining town, while a
„udies card club was playing for
a $2 book as a priie, the sons of
these same ladies, small boys, were
arrested in a hay mow, while play-

ganized a club like their mothers.

a terrible place this town is to
raise boys, anyhow!" Served them

difference between a hay mow and
• parlor, and a $2 and a 50c prue.
