Woe is Us!
Tell us. what would you do?
We know a couple of people
almost drowned when their car
went off the road and into some
water;
We know there was a wreck of
a green Oldsmobile last week
end;
We were also told that a car
missed a turn on the Nash Road
this week;
BUT—
The City Police don’t know
anything about it; none of it
happened in the city;
The Commissioner’s Office
says it isn’t in that department;
The Highway Patrolman is in
the hospital;
The Marshall is out every time
we try to get to him.
Rumors are flying fast and
furiously, but you try to pin
someone down and nobody
knows anything. Yet, as soon as
the paper is on the street, the
first cry will be, “Why isn't it in
the paper?”
RELATIVES VISITING
Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Ma
han of Crawfordsville, Indiana,
are visiting at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Vic Mahan. They ar
rived last week. The two men
are brothers.

lovely gifts, which was matched

WHAT ARE WE GIVING HIM?
God gave us the beautiful
sunrise,
And a sky of turquoise blue;
He added a touch of sunshine
With a dash of golden hue.
He gave us the trees and the
flowers.
The wind, the rain, and the
snow,
The ground to plow and harrow,
And the seeds with which to
sow.
He put our loved ones around us,
Happiness in our hearts;
He even gave us “Cupid,”
With his quiver and his darts.
He gave us all His kingdom,
To please our every whim—
Stop! and think, my brothers,
“What are we giving Him.”
—Zeliine DuBeau

Your machinery is always
ready to go
in a BUTLER Building
You don't havo to waste time overhauling rusted
machinery when you keep it in a weather-tight Butler
steel building 1 You get machinery in and out faster,
too, through big sliding doors in sides, ends or both.
Rigid frame steel construction with galvanized or
aluminum covering gives unobstructed space from
floor to roof. You get more space per dollar in a wind
safe, lightning-safe, fire-safe Butler building!
It will pay you to see us
before you build I
Why waste dollars in temporary,
high-maintenance construction
when you get a permanent Butler
building at such reasonable cost?
Be sure to get our price before you
build!
See us’ for facts about Butler machin
ery storage, grain storage, loafing or
feeding barns, hog houses, laying houses
or combination buildings to fl^our exact
needs.
