ington authorities upon recommends
ton from the governor, it was learned
today on reliable authority, and this
date is not likely to be until after

The fact that county officials are
to bear largely the responsibility of

July 2 owing to the recent election,
makes it seem probable that no date
sooner than this will be chosen.
Estimates from Washington compil-

doing this. and he skipped around TO

Here was where he began to show
real cleverness. The story he told the
dressmaker upon turning the package
over to her was that her customer
had paid $40 on the goods and want

which was So, and put ii on the bill
for the suit. This account seemed
perfectly plausible to the dresSmaker.
