No Overhead" Burdens
This Labor of Love

There is one point about the work
of the French Restoration Fund
which must not be forgotten. Every
penny subscribed for its work goes
direct to the object for which it
was given. There are no overhead
expenses, no office expenditures TO
be deducted from the subscriptions.
The officers and directors of the
organization pay all of its running
expenses out of their own private
purses.
So much for the restoration Of
the schools of France, but this is
only a small part Of the task con
fronting the directors of the French
Restoration Fund There are
100000 houses, 800 public build
ings; 200 churches. to say moth

shall be asked before very long to

Of France. We must "stop lively"

generosity by our children.

THE CRAB SAYS TONY
SOME SPE|LERA THAT
Dollar a Minute Wrestler Gould
Not Go on Himself but An
derson Substitutes and
Drops Ten Spot to Morgan.
BY THE CRAB"

We went to the Alamo shows last
night. and when the speiler hollered
athletic show over here" naturally,
wandered over there, and heard some
thing like this: IF a man stays 10
minutes, he gets $40 "a ten-spot was
flashed) but if he doesn't stay, he gets
the experience"
Jim Morgan, a little fellow, who has
done some good preliminary work in
Boise, was called for and mounted
the rostrum. Then the speiler, plus
Tony, who "eats 'em alive" plus An
derson, who can't even beat Morgan,
asked Jim what kind of Flowers" he
wanted, what Hospital he preferred.
where he wanted to be buried, etc."
and Jim came right back by saying
he preferred roses"
We were too sore to go inside but
while attending the main show"
knew that Morgan had stayed the re-
quired 10 minutes because Tom Sher-
lock, chairman of the athletic COM
mission, visited with us afterwards
and told us so. We won't quote
Tom" 1t wouldn't be ethical, but our
bunch from what Tom intimated is,
that Anderson, a big fellow at that,
probably couldn't beat Morgan in 10
hours. Jim never made ten dollars
so fast probably before in his life and
so easily, for that beats coffee and
wrestling all hollow and also glass
working. Chef Camp will go on with
Anderson tonight and he should be
able to flash a ten-spot Thursday

Is barely possible there may be some

will wrestle Is minutes tonight, and

Jack Sorenson and Babe Brown.
Babe" being an amatuer, will not be
able to cash at the rate of 81 min

and the d40, and Edgar Cooley, who
is entered in the sprints.
Coach Harry Redaker went along

were pick ed because of their athletic
ability as shown at the Baker Boise

experienced track men, who are going
to make good showing at the state
meet.
