MYSTERY IN BOMB
AT MUNITIONS PLANT
MOLINE, 111., Nov. 17.—Explosion
of a time bomb on the railroad tracks
in front of the plant of William I.
White & Co., manufacturers of war
munitions at 10 o’clock last night,
set detectives at work to determine
whether the bomb was set by ene
mies of the entente allies for whom
the company has been making war
material, or by sympathizers with a
strike which has been on at the plant
for three months. No damage was
done by the explosion.
If you insist upon dressing that
way, my dear, don’t feel shocked if
we poor men look at you that way.
They’ll tell you that clothes do not
make the man. But they will avoid
you if yot-.r pants are shiny on the ,
seat and laugh at you if they are
fringed at the bottom.
As a woman’s love grows colder
you’ll find her temper grows warmer.
Why is it that the man who is al
ways out of a job always carries a
pocket full of recommendations.
She buys her goods ,
in town.
She knows the local
merchant »
He knows her. _

Birds Stop Gas Supply
MENOMINEE, Wis., Nov. 17.—
Every gas user in Menominee had to
gQ without gas for several hours all
because two little sparrows had built
their nests in the outlet pipe of the
water tank through which the gas
is passed. During the heavy rain the
tank overflowed because the nest
clogged the outlet pipe. The over
flowing of the tank disarranged the
apparatus and shut off the gas. The
nest was removed later and the gas
supply restored.
The Lamb—A Sensation
Patrons at the Empress last even

Sunday evening “It’s No Laughing
Matter,” a comedy drama will be on
the screen and it is a scream.
After glancing over the paws of
the men you meet you wonder how
on earth a manicurist manages to
make a living.
Another freak of human nature, is
that th eman who is too careful and
captious to put any mqney into, an
industry in his home t$wn. ijfeaiways

gojdless ..gold mine in Tasmania or

BORISES ARE OUSTED
BY THE I. W. W.’S
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 18.—
The English censor is a piker com
pared with those in charge of the
anti-news blockade maintained by
the agricultural division of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, now
in international convention at Ar
cadia rink here.
“We don’t want nothing in the
papers,” was the watchword and both
officers and delegates tried to live up
to it.
Only rumors of what really is
transpiring at the meeting reached
the outside world today.
Guards in soft shirts, thrown open
at the neck, flowing western hats and
a faculty of consuming innumerable
cigarettes warned outsiders to “move
on” when any effort was made to
'gain information regarding the pro
ceedings in the convention hall.
Newspaper reporters, filled with
| the spirit of daring, ventured occa
Isionally near the door of the smoke
; filled hall and were met with the in
junction from the guards: “Youse
guys get the air! On your way now!
'Orders is orders!”
So the outside worid today learn- i
ed little regarding the questions con 1
sidered at the meeting of the agric-1
ultural worker’s branch of the I. W.:
