in St. Paul Friday to take part in the
parade: in honor of the return of the

Of course all tickets purchased on
the theory that the show was to be
held on Thursday evening will be
good. If you have not made your

returning to his company just before
hostilities ceased. ... .~..t
Howard Alien also saw hard fight
ing. It will be recalled that he was

mighty fine. They say they would not
take a million dollars for their ex-
