"A clever swindler was circulat-

who endorsed the mans check for
S165.

Mart King, who was the chief
entertainer at the Exchange Club
banquet, held at the Allen House on
Thursday evening, is a whole pro-

presentations were the real thing. An
evening with Mart Is an enjoyable
treat and the laughter he creates is
a most excellent tonic to chase away
dull care.
Fifty thousand dollars for a
story of $4,000 words is new high

is what Commander Robert e. Peary

tracts have already been signed and
the story is to run as a serial for
the next eight months. The pict-
ures which will accompany the story
will give the American public its
first intimation of just what Peary
and his men went through.
