It might be the end of an era in which children minded their par- ents and went to bed when curfew rang, Or it might—rather tardily—mark the end of an era in which hors2s pulled the fire engine and hose teams Bell Ringer The City Hall as Bi smarck Knows It Decapitation of City Hall Ordered S00 LINE ENGINEER, ALBERT OSTBY, DIES 52-Year-Old Harvey Resident Leayes His Widow and Three Children Albert J.

Others declare the job has be- longed only to August “Butch” Helle, | | @ member of Bismarck’s fire depart- ment for'more than 20 years.” “Butch” says the job has been his just recently. But he, too, believes curfew wasn't doing good. It attracted small fry, instead of shooing them to bed, he thinks. “The more we'd ring that bell,” said “Butch” recently, “the more kids we'd get out on the streets to see where the noise was coming from. I’ve seen that curb across the street lined with kids waiting for 9:30 so they could see where the bell was.” He says there were long stretches of time when the curfew failed to ring at all and that for several years after it was moved from its old loca- tion on Fourth street there wasn’t According to Fire Chief Harry Ho- man the bell was cast in 1880. For many years it stood in an iron tower back of the old wooden city hall on| Fourth street where the Bismarck hotel now stands. In 1909 the new city hall was built, and the bell moved into its present tower. The commissioners have resigned themselves to taking the bell down. The vote at the recent meeting was brusque—and unanimous. But since then a local contractor has inspected the tower and told them he can fix it so the roof won’t leak. ‘The commissioners had heard that one before. That's why they were unanimous, But as yet no wrecking crew has appeared at the city hall. Former Officer Held For Threatening FDR even a@ bell rope. | Monday morning in a local hospital.

Have & number of vases of different color and design, suitable for various types of flowers, and keep them filled, so that flowers will brighten both your let- sure and your work-filled hours in your home. The cutting of flowers serves a use- ful purpose, too, for.with many flow- ers. constant cutting promotes a suc- cession of bloom. Your ability to create a pleasing arrangement will grow with practice, and you'll delight in trying new com- binations. To me one of the most interesting classes in the flower shows is the one featuring arrangements of cut flowers for the home. And here are some little things you can do in connection with various flowers (not all of them necessarily flowers available now) that will pro- long their keeping qualities. Suppose you start a simple chart listing these and other similar hints you may find here and there, and keep the chart with your cutting shears, where you will be reminded to try out these ideas: Dahlias—Dip ends of stems in hot water for a minute, immediately after cutting, after which they may be put in cold water in the usual manner, Do not get the hot water on flowers or leaves. Poppies—Poppies, if not given spe- cial treatment are notoriously poor “keepers.” But cut buds early in the morning as buds are about to break, Five Prisoners Saw Way Out of Bastile Neillsville, Wis.

The sheriff expressed belief the trouble grew out of “some talk about one, of the girls.” CHECKING HOPPERS Colorado Springs, Colo., July 6.—(#) —S8am C.

The picturesque slanting roof of this small house makes it partic- ularly attractive. Flower boxes and low shrubbery, shutters and clear white paint add to its fresh, clean appearance. In fact, this is one of the most interesting exam- ples of the small home developed in the Colonial style of architec- ture. It takes a large part of its charm from its simplicity and those who consider the small frame bungalow as the most satis- factory, as well as an economical small home, will be particularly gratified with the features of this design. The living room is of good shape and size with a spacious closet provided for a disappear- ing bed. The dinette shares the front of the house with the living room and adjacent is the con- venient, modern kitchen. A small hall leads from the living room to adjacent bath which is sim- convenient to the bedroom. 8 Take Examinations JUNE PRODUCTION IS HIGHEST IN HISTORY Provident Life’s Anniversary Month Business Totals $1,181,068 June production of $1,181,068 worth of life insurance—a gain of 82.6 per cent over June 1936—was announced Tuesday by the Provident Life Insur- ance company, Bismarck.
