WASHINGTON CITIZEN, FRIDAY, UALCll 20, 1S23 NEW BUS SCHEDULE SHOULD HAVE A LAUNDRY said, a doctor examined the victim and IT.Of.3 MIGRATE Beginning last Monday the Wasb- W. C. Jones, who stills laundry equip The bull frogs are beginning to pick decided a broken knee cap from a reported Injury, when in fact the trouble ment, wag in Washington Monday, hav Ington-St. Louis bus line changed Its out their summer swimming pools and ing stopped here on his way to Kansas schedule on the second bus, which for was due merely to the serum. shift around at night time.

One night City. Mr. Jones told The Citizen that merly left here at 9 a. and arrived last week a big green-back who had licj was of the belief that Washington Officers have been unable as yet to determine Just what drugs the serum been jumping around over Washington Lad a steam laundry and was surpris in St. Louis at noon.

The second bus now leaves St. Louis In the morning Instead of leaving Washington. This ed to learn that he was mistaken contains, but the matter is now being to pick out a summer resort, happened to locate in Emil Hendrlch's frog pond Jones thinks that a factory town of this size, where so many workmen investigated. bus leaves St, Louis every day, except and made up his mind to stay there, ing unable to determine the exact loss dntil' the books and records are checked tip. The fire was first discovered about 3 o'clock in tlie afternoon and by five-thirty tlie whole fire was thru with its damage.

Fully four thousand people witnessed and fought the flames and wires were disconnected and the power plant was shut down. Fighting the fii-e was practically useless, bucket-brigades being driven hither and beyond by the flames. Dynamiting the-walls of the buildings in an effort Co stay the march of the flames was trw-avalling. Buildings already on fire were dynamited, but the fear of wrecking the other buildings would not permit of sufficient charges to make the; blasts effective. Sunday, at 7:30 a.

He Mr. HeiMirich saw the frog one morning and suspected that lw had come there for a purpose. The only way to get proof to his calculation was to take noon it again leaves for St. Louis at eald that he believes that If the local $23,000 damages from the Frisco railroad.

According to the investigators Chamber of Commerce will advertise 1:30 p. and arrives there at 4:30 n. m. It goes via Union and leaves ganfzltig of the Cacophony Club, which has grown to one of the greater societies of the institution. "After the return to school in 1023, the Athletic Association made a great search for a student manager.

After a week of consideration it was found that our cheerleader was not only a man of wit but also a very keen business man. So 'Stag' was made student manager of athletics. It is not necessary for me to say that he made a success of the business affairs of the association." During the past year Mr. Stegen has been active in another field. He is sport editor of the college paper, assistant sport editor of the paper published by all Lutheran schools in the Uui-ted Statesand does occasional writing for tlie daily paper.

He is a member of the Demosthenian Society, the Mission Society, and the Cacophony Clnh. At the close of tlie past semester he finished his courses in Hebrew, Latin and German with an average of 03. the fact in some luundry trade Jour the scheme was as follows: A man employed by some large corporation a peep into the frog's stomach and Mr. Hemlrich did this after killing the Union at 10 a. m.

in the morning on nal that Washington needs laundry, its trip to Washington aud at 2 p. m. croaker for supiier. The post mortem persona interested in establishing laun faked an injury while at work and was taken out of the plant. Serum was in the afternoon on its trip to St.

Louis. dries will get in touch with our people showed that the bullfrog had several large tadpoles in his stomach, tadpoles It is believed that this new schedule and will make an effort to start a then injected In his arm and leg, which would swell. A physician was then called and treated the man for an in- that had been caught In the pond and swallowed alive. Mr. Hendrlch also found a numlier of dead tadpoles in laundry here.

There is no doubt at nil that Washington needs a laundry. Many housewives are complaining that they are having a lot of trouble get Jury and certified that he had beeen will give better service than the old schedule. It still enables passengers to take either bus to the city and also gives St LouLsans a morning bus to Washington. Drummers who come up from the city can take the train or the pond that had apparently been In actually hurt The statement of the ting the washing done. Wash women doctor formed the basis for an apparent legitimate claim against the acci jured by the frog while attempting to swallow them.

Had this big frog re who go to the houses to do the work the morning bus out of St Louis and dent company and for damages. It is mained in the pond, no doubt he would are nrce and there are not many reach Washington or Union before believed that the effect of the serum have eaten several hundred tadpoles In homes that take in washing. Some wore off in a few days and the treat noon, work a few hours, and get the afternoon train west People who do a few weeks time. This Is proof to the fact that bull frogs do not increase pd limb returned to normal with no ill effects. -apidly in ponds where big frogs abound.

No doubt the big frogs also eat hundreds of the little ones along onr MORE NEW BUILDINGS streams. Mr. Hemlrich is experiment not care to go to the city in the morning can take the second bus at 1:30 p. ra and reach St Louis at 4 :30 p. m.

The. old schedule put the busses only two hours apart, while the new schedule puts them aliout a half a day apart. The first bus leaves at the usual time, 7 a. m. A number of new buildings have been started in Washington, the foundations ing with frog culture and this year has have metre than they tan handle already.

The fact that laundries failed here in the past should have no bearing on the mutter, Jones said. When a laundry fails in a city of this size, It Is usually tlie fault of the laundry and not the public. A laundry that Will do good work and hold Its prices downs to a reasonable figure, has every chance for success. In order to make laundry a success, Jones said, the man at the head of It must be an experienced laundryman. A BIG FIRE Salem, the old home town of J.

E. Wingfield, had a big fire last week which destroyed over $200,000 worth of property. One of the Salem newspapers, The Post, which The Citizen receives every was also burned out and is now being issued from the on'y tadpoles in his pond. Last, year and basements of which are now be he had fish in th pond with th? tad-lwles and the fish ate up the tadpoles, ing made. Ten or more houses are going to be built this spring and perhaps Cats also caught many of them, ss did more will be contracted for during the also the blackbirds.
