was $4,000 in two local banks, put

and that he believed the best way
was to pay the expenses, and give
the entire remainder to the Los

said this " probably would be done

The commissioner expressed the
opinion it would not be fair to
refund to the holderss of reserved

money" Strelinger said. "That is up
to Donald The commission ordered
him to refund the honey, but there

Songs come and songs go, and they

There are some folk who will re-

along with the illustrated ballads Of
years ago. They made their own

neat little boys and little girls in eve

still are the center of attraction.
But take Harry Lauder or a dozen
