Loyal in their stubborn adherence to

Two days followed through which

Strain Juice through fulled flan-

but thls Juice should be kept separate.
The jelly made from it will not be

Weigh Juice and add three-quarters

MUST BOYS HANG
IS BIG PROBLEM

! Sacramento, Aug. 17-Governor
Johnson will soon be required to make
tie most important decision of his ad-
ministration. 1t will be a decision
dealing with the life and death of
boys.
The law demands that three boys
ali in their teens--die on the scaffold
in this state ere two months have
elapsed. Unless the governor grants
a reprieve OF cummtes sentence, two
of the youths will be hanged in Sep
tembr and the third in October.
Louis Bundy at the cge of II beat
to death a messenger boy in Los An
geles and robbed him.
Earl LOOMS in the eighteenth year
shot down Mrs. Marie Ho.croft while
in the act of robbrg her ce cream
parlor in Sacramento.
Charles OMAN, II, shot and killed
William Alexander in Los Angeles
while he and Gem Witt, pal, were
trying to burglarize the Alexander
home.
The governor must decide if it is
right to hang them.
Never before in the history of the
state has a similar condition arisen
Never before have three minors been
under death sentence at the same
time. In fact, the prisons official
find few instances where the state
has executed a minor.
The fact that Governor Johnson
has granted a three months reprieve
to Bundy indicates he is giving the
case serious consideration.
