PROF. WORCESTER'S TRIBUTE

The Lawton homexfund-i is coming along
with most gratifying rapidity. Indeed, the
indications are now such as to encourage
the committee which has undertaken to
collect the fund in the hope that If the
contributions continue at the present rate
it will be able to carry out the idea OF
making the fund Christmas present to
Lawton's family. The list Of contributors
so far reported includes the names of some
of the most noted finaneiers of the east, but
up to this moment the west has not been
heard from to any extent.
