heart stops too, it is difficult to think
of witty response. And mostly he
does not turn it. All one has for COM

again passed through a'double col

the home, when he stopped to shake
hands with countless children who
had gathered to welcome the mill
tary idol of the American people to
his old home town.

general to his escort. He then turn
ed to other boys not in uniform and
told them he hoped to see them
soon in the Boy Scouts.
Il am glad to spend Christmas in
Lincoln" he told the throng which
filled the Butler lawn. II am glad
to get back to my old home in Ne
braska. Four of the happiest years
of my life were spent at this univer-
s;.y."

I shall try to see you all before l

appeared into the home of his sister.

this year was controlled by B. l..
Mills, president. Mills interests were
sold to F. M. Rulings of Minneapo-
lis, who is now president and hold
ing So per cent of the stock.

gan arriving from out of the state

posit for this paper, made out to
him, payable in six months in
mounts of $1,000 cash.

OF the situation by reason of the fact
that Rulings is associated with, H.

associates of President Townley of
the Nonpartisan league are con-
nected.
Among the names connected with
