THE REFEREE
(By Albert Applel

Gold
We have around four billion dol

States-gold coin and ingot bullion,
no including our tewelry. Three
fourths of It is locked up in the
federal reserve banks. If we had
the old-time system instead OF the
reserve banks, controlled by the gov
eminent, that three-fourths would
be mostly in Wall street vaults.

a matter Of wide discussion and

"The other fellow" for the most

It is my opinion there win be

An eastern girl and her father are

A few years ago a Bellingham ply
stefan, when his daughter was ready
to enter college, closed his office and
entered college with her, securing a
degree. Men who do things of this
kind are not going to get old very
fast, and while it is neither practical
nor advisable for majority of men
to give up their business and enter
college when past middle age, there
are a hundred things that a man
can do to educate himself, and to
keep himself young mentally, as well

and give up, will age man quicker
than anything else.
