young parents but also to the devoted
grand parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Dorsey, on North West street and to

the utmost confidence and respect of
his chief and the officers of that insti-

the American screen. In his every
line of endeavor he has made good. A
devoted son, he will be better hus-

friends.
The bride is a most lovable young

receive a warm welcome to our town.
The couple will make their home with

EVER THINK OF THIS?

A printer in Iowa was trou-
bled, as many other printers are,
by charity hold-ups. Once the
spokeswoman Of a delegation of
ladies smilingly laid a paper be
fore him and asked to subscribe
for an ad for the Charity Ba-
zaar at $40 a page.
The only difference between
the workers" who work the Lo-
cal Charity games and the work
ers who work on the second
stories or who push a gun in
front of your face with the right
hand while they "frisk" you with
the left, is that the former are
usually the social leaders of the
home place.
But this Iowa printer laid a
trap. When the ladies appealed
to him for his signature, he
reached into his cash drawer
and withdrew a rubber stamp.
He carefully mixed the stamp
and stamped the impression on
the paper instead of his name.
The Mortified ladies read the
message the stamp bore with
high Indignation. They moist
ened their tongues to loose a
series of suitable invectives, but
silently withdrew.
The stamps message said:
why don't you pay for it?"-
