little Bears promptly forgot their
fears. Never had they smelled any
thing quite so good. Their mouths
began to water just as they had done
two nights before. Both sat up and

Presently they came in sight of

stopped to sit up and stare at it..
Their eyes grew round with wonder.
1t was the first time they had really

dark to see what that sugar house was
like. All they had seen then was a dark

could see just what that sugar house
was and they didn't know what to
make Of 1t. Never had they seen
anything at all like it. For a long

staring at that sugar house.
Now, it happened that that morn

Of course, the sugar house was de-

The prospective member is made to

"He or she must promise to pay
whatever amount you think he IS able
to pay, either in money, merchandise,
tobacco or food"
After meeting these requirements
the ritual continues:
"Password-'l have paid my check.

Mr. Kosterman, was in the jewclry
business in Providence. He used to

would be n good thing to get in on

tiOn." 1t is true that the conditions
under the city administration are not
conceded by subordinates Of the Mayor.
But when Mr.. Hall said that million
dollars a year could be saved By giving
Council control Of the purchase Of city
supplies. the impression was likely TO
be created that the Moore Administra. I.
tion, in the blunt language Of Mr.. Dev.
elm was "debauched." No one IN

ton. and in any event, Mr.. Hall did
not follow up the suggestion that the
