 THE OTHER SlDE.-It is true that a lot of the money Phoenix people take to the coast every year stays there. but some of it comes back again after the manner of bread cast on the water.

Mir. Donau has d weakness for dogs. and fortunately is in a position to cater to it. He asked MT. Friedman if he could give him a jobbing rate on them as he was tired of buying them one lat time. The terms were agreed on. and yesterday Harry received check for s35 for two of them. which is the inet cash wholesale price.
