 again, and the wheel all ready for
 action. The total sale of Thrift ! Stamps, from the roulette wheel, the 1 grand drawing contest and the ia ! nous kill the kaiser" game nettcd l the United States government S2,- ! l6S.00. Not one cent was made for | anyone but the government. Most ! Of the evening, one set of eight pad
