NTELL, folks,-we have with us to-
w day o. k. again-or still-or
rather we have another explain
alton Of the derivation OF these let
tiers meaning all right.

that it Is a contraction OF or, which
originally meant order received
nut folks, that is not all. Here

veighty problem. This is a hot one.
Harry l.. Stebbins of Weslaco says
ii is an old Spanish custom.
He takes issue with Judge Gill as
follows:
After considerable research in the

things OF life-for an "old Spanish
custom" In the real for sure early

the hardy Spanfards to explore this
Valley. They we're. az course, inn

modern English means Its a bear

ed with the sincerity and we'll

land men that the term 'OSO KILO'

thing which had real merit and was
considered the correct and proper

TO-DAY Is q biz football day III

In some az the big publications,
one starts q serial story and when

\ HERBERT Hoover speaking TO
bankers gathered at Cleveland
last night sounded a most cp-
timistic note and hit back at critics
Of the present administration.
He declared that the present bust
ness depression. which has been
world wide, is now passing. and
credited the spirit Of the American
people and the genius Of American
business for its passage with little
damage.
One point which received great
applause was when ne said that Il
has been declared that the high
standard Of American living was
mostly responsible for the crash.
The president denied this and add
cd that the goal of America Is for
even higher standards Of living.
MINATED Annie says she cannot

about, anyway. Says all her
business depreSsions are caused from
lack Of money. and nothing else.
