Oranges for Dandelions;
Kids Take $500 Lbs.

Grand Island. Neb., May H.
Especial. president David Kauf-
mann OF the Commercial club is the
owner OF variety store and buys
oranges at wholesale. Riddles and
public improvements also interest
him. This led to an offer OF the
weight in oranges to the kiddies in
exchange for weight in dandelions.
He thought, of course. Of the lawns
and some l.wns are minus dandelions.
But Kaufman indicates that he will
be more ci.cumspect hereafter. With
in the time set for delivery over $500
pounds OF iandelions were delivered.
1t required eighty boxes of oranges.
The determination for more definite
specifications and definitions in the
future is born Of the knowledge that
resourceful kiddies invaded the lower
regions OF the city, the sloughs and
creek borders. where dandclions are
thriftier lik.wise, and more numerous
snd-hcavier. But Mr.. Kaufman is
conceded to be good sport. Running
out of oranges he has assured the
boys that they could come again and
present the duly signed orange cards
