Mr.. Bowles also calls attention 20 the
lively town of Tango, which Is situated
in West Virginia and was so named Ions

namesake. There is no other Tango in
the United states az the present writing
though II is not too much TO expect that
before Ions there will be not only other
Tangos, but also postoffices named Tur-
key Trot, Bunny Hug and Grizzly Grab.
There Is a town in Texas named
Thrifty. In Nebraska there is Opportunity.
Nothing new. you say. Everybody
knows Nebraska is full OF opportunities.

statement that "a rose by any other

other name sound as unattractive9
That's what Edgar n. Bowles, head OF
the inquiry division of the local post
office wants to know. He thinks not.
Mr.. Bowles asks one to imagine being
asked where one lives and having TO
answer, II live in Cut Meat. S. D."
