ever since he was in his teeniest teens,

the smoothest politician eXtant. He
was Cats supporter, along with

Mr.. Laner had only gotten we'll set
tied on his banking job at Bunnetl,
when Uncle Sam came along and
caught him in his war draft. As
there was nothing allied him, except
Catts, and as he was not married, he
could not escape. He is simply
waiting for orders to go to Colum-
