THE HOME TOWN BEE
by A, J. Dunlap

Sam Bennett had the printing shop,
An able man was he,
He did his job work all alone
And ran the Home Town Bee
He wrote the copy, set the type
And put the sheet to bed,
He hand-addresed and mailed each one
To cut the overhead,
His editorials were deep,
His social comment airy,
And, given half a chance he'd write
A fine obituary.
His sale bills brought the bacon home
His ads were bright and sunny
And Sam was prompt to pay his bills
When he could get his money.
The trouble was--to many folks
Would read The Bee for years.
But when 1t came to paying Sam
Were sadly in arrears.
Among the sinners great and small
OF evry known description,
I'd head the list with those who failet
To pay their Bee subscription.

Sind street, this city. Mr.. Cliff said
to the Konjola Man:
1.-TWO years ago Konjola relieved
me of stomach, liver and kidney
trouble, and I have enjoyed good
health ever since. Food lay heav-
lily in my stomach, gas formed,
and suffered terribly with
cramping pains. had to get up
frequently during the night as
the result of kidney weakness, and
1 was subject to severe headaches
and dizzy spells. Constipation
also added much to my misery.
"A friend advised me to try
Konjola. I did, and was rewarded
with new health. Soon my bowels
and liver were functioning nor
zmally again, and headaches and
dizzy spells disappeared. Then
my food began to digest as it
should; night rising ceased, and
strength and vitality returned. As
/ said before, this was two years
ago, and I have been recommend
ing Konjola to my friends ever
since"
Is it not logical TO believe that
what Konjola has done for Others
It will do for you? This is especially
true II Konjola is taken with regu-
larity for a period Of six or eight
weeks.

The Juneau Garden Club at its regular monthly meeting last night at City Hall, enthusiastically en- dorsed the capitol park project sug- gested to the Chamber of Com merce recently by B. M. Behrends. It pledged itself to give support to the movement.

 At the Clubs meeting yesterday, seasonal phases of garden work were given attention. Among the subjects discussed were: care and maintenance of lawns, selection of bulbs for fall planting, and fall planting of perennials, which should be started soon after August l.
 A number of specimens of native and cultivated flowers were dis played by J. P. Anderson, local hor- ticulturist, with sugge o ns for planting and cultivation.

The splendid cooperation received at all times from residents and Federal and City officials here is most grat- flying, officers of the organization said.
