There’s an old saying about “working for peanuts” but now it appears that things are so rough that thieves are stealing money that is from the sale of peanuts. Arnold Christensen, manager of the store, was scheduled to open the store on Tuesday morning, and he was ill with the flu, so “Shorty” Johnson, substitute bartender, and Mrs. Arnold Christensen opened the store, and found that the money was missing.

The Eagles lost a heartbreaker last Friday night when the Clarissa team held them from scoring in the final seconds of the game. One more play might have made the score look entirely different, but time ran out and Clarissa emerged the victor 13 to 12.
