LUCAS LEDGER ITEMS:
WM. ANDREA of Union Township is building a 12x20 addition to his residence.
T.J. PHILLIPS of Ottumwa came up yesterday to look after his business connected with the Cleveland mine.
ROY EKLEBERRY who has been visiting relatives in Union Township left yesterday for his home in Seattle, Wash.
MISS INA KNOTTS who has spent the past three months with relatives north of Lucas, left last Monday for her home at Kirksville.
MARY MUSGRAVE who was taken to the Cottage Hospital at Creston the first of the month, to be operated on for appendicitis, was able to be brought home last Saturday.
The whistle at No. 4 signalled the call for work Monday evening and Supt. D.O. CAMPBELL soon had the telephone lines at work sending the news to men gone to seek employment in other coal fields offering their rooms and places back if they wanted to return. We are told there are about seventy-five men at No. 4 now but in the course of a couple of weeks the old number will be back again.
