Now Is Raspberry
Cordial Booze
Or Isn't 1t?

Is raspberry cordial "booze, -
or ia it not?
Rev. r. . Shaw, member of the
park board, is not certain, but he
wants to take no chances. Clerk
Smell offered five gallons for the
New Years reception. The board
thought that would be fine.
Smell, however, did not state In
just what category raspberry cor
dial is placed.
Shaw, not being a connoiseur
on cordials and other liquids, but
having some convictions as to the
duty of the park board in setting
ia good example of sobriety AM
Temperance, got to wondering
about this liquid of SHELLS. He
finally told Smell maybe he had
better keep the cordial at home
and send an orchestra to entertaiL
the crowd. Anyway they expec;
5000 guests and what would five
gallons of cordial be for 5000
people?
d. s. Johnston, who seemed 20
be wise to the cordial proposition
suggested in the meeting that the
board had better keep it dark and
not publish the cordial story for
fear there would be trouble, but il
got out and now Shaw is fernins,

get none of SHELLS Puyallup val

to sift to the bottom the rumors,

banded from lip to lip to the eff
feet that the time-honored Santa

despotic, is being conducted in a
high-handed manner and is be-
traying the plain or common peo-
pie whose very veal depends upon
it. Really, the fact has been self
evident long time and has rankl-

leaders in their ranks, earnest
men and women who are striving
against great odds to obtain a
square deal for all from the great

weeks l watched his plant and sur
reptitiously thumbed over his

merry old cuss whose fair round

a bowl full Of jelly. Well, may 1t
shake like that--he is a cross be-
