While the mad race for money is
going on it is worth while occasion
ally to stop and consider what
wealth may bring. Money can
purchase a great many of, the com
forts of life, but before we can en
joy such comforts we must have
npacf of mind. Unless we have an
untroubled conscience riches are of
no avail. It then resolves into a
question of how money is obtained.
Wealth secured by honest, upright
means can be a source of much
pleasure. Money secured in any
olber way is bound to be a curse.
Charles Pohe, who since last
August has been a conductor on

With a large force of Italians
quartered along the creek at Shaff
ers bridge there is danger of pollu

have jurisdiction of the stream at
that point. There are other laws
that prohibit the pollution of streams
besides town ordinances.
