erations his people had been engaged
in the toy business. some OF them

the eyes OF the youngsters sparkle:
In 1854 the toy seller came to Amer
lea and he moved to Washington two
years later. Throughout the Civil
War he kept his shop at Seventh and
H streets. His toys and smiles did
much to cheer the hearts Of little
children, whose fathers and big broth
ers had gone to war.

For thirty-three years the sunny

around to buy their dolls and sleds
from the old man, who seemed to love
them so well.

yey will be carried on for a period
Of six 70 ten months, and the results,
which will be prepared in the form of
, report, are expected to better mater
tally the marketing and distributing of
Ill farm products in the Basin, together
with Improved methods of marketing

in the securing of improved transpor-
tation. and that much undeveloped
