After he had been admitted to
Otto’s home,'the red-haired fugi-

a rifle hanging on the wall.
Becoming fearful of too many
passing cars, Kuykendall' ordered
Ot’o off on a side road. He was
sitting in the back seat while the
farmer drove.
Reaching an advantageous
point, Otto leaped across the

open.
A number of local labor leaders

Despite Labor Day or any other
day, there are still stiange people
existing today in this world who j
would rather work than enjoy a ]
holiday. A holiday is great for
the first two or three hours in the
morning, then time begins to get
heavy on the hands and by night-
fall they are running about in cir-
cles hardly able to wait until the
morrow when they know work will
give them something to keep them
occupied.
