Earl Harkins left Tuesday for San
Francisco after spending several
weeks in Oroville visiting with his
father and sisters, Mr.. and Mrs. J. l..
Masters and Mrs. H. r. Gregg after
two years in the army, where he will
resume a position in one of the largest

metropolis. He was with the same

likely that Mr. Harkins will find his
way north again for number Of

Harkins every success possible in the
trade that he has selected for his life
