In the world that budding merit might
not be overlooked. Some months ago
Round Mountain announced with arro-
giant assertion that 1t was the Biggest
Feeling Camp on Earth" The statement
was true at that time-but not now.
No Now. Manhattan has a~brogated
the claim of others to such distinction
and has completely fitted the cap of
self-esteem upon the abnormal proper
lions of it's swollen head.

CANT HAS A JINGLE
That Manhattan has a Jingle in the
pockets of that bifurcated garment al
ready referred to was recently made
manifest in a striking manner. At the
time the suspension of the State Bank

feared that completion of the plant of

Manhattan has that rich feeling-or

that a sea sarpint inhabits that ex-
