corn will continue to eat il, and the
fields of waving corn on the Amer

by the Kinks Grew

Goodbye, Girls. Were Through"
To the tune of the militant melody that
had the boys on edge all summer at the
Ak-Sar-Ben Den, the Kinks crew last
night paraded the streets behind the Den
band and furnished amusement to thou
sands just after the theaters closed.
II was the last Den show of the year
and the gang, under the leadership Of
Oskar Lieben and Gus Renze put the
finishing touches on in true Quivera
style.
The first thing they did was to take
old Mary, the sneezing horse that worked
faithfully through the season, and anchor
her safely TO the Welcome" arch at
Eighteenth and Farnam.
Then they tramped through The Bee
building and serenaded the editorial
office.
Then the band marched up and down
the streets. The crowd of pedestrians
and autoists that followed augmented
at every block. BY midnight several
thousand we're in line.
