This time there was no delay in ad-
mitting Arizona to the private Office
of the Boss. And when Mr.. Edleman
saw her coming in, the smile of greet
ing which he turned upon her was
beautiful thing to see.
'Mr. Edleman, would you consider
a friend of mine for that part?" Ari-

Certainly not," " he said decisively.

smile vanished. Which way is Mr..
Edleman's Officer"

Nor said Arizona, but I'm in a
hurry"
End of the first corridor to the
left" said he: ''and I'll send lilies"
Arizona strode along the corridor
to a door marked. 'Mr. Edleman."
She knocked. and in response to per-
mission to enter, found herself facing
d very snooty young woman.
Unless you have an appointment
it's impossible to see MIR. Edleman,"
said the young woman.
1--we got only five days to do five
weeks work in. and want to see MIR.
Edleman now" Arizona said, and
made a move toward the door, but the
giri barred her way.
Arizona looked at her amusedly
and then glanced at high bookshelf
beside the door. ''See here. sister,"
she said. II know you have your
orders, but so have l. Will you try to
get me in to see the boss, or must l
just 90 in?"
Don't you talk to me like that"
snapped the girl. ''or Ill have you

''Okey!'' said Arizona. Then before
the astonished secretary knew what
was happening. Arizona had lifted
her bodily. set her atop the bookcase
and opened the sacred portal.
For the half-hour just past, Mr..
Edleman had been sitting alone at his
desk. MIR. Edleman was worried

up because a featured player had been
taken LII and it had been impossible to
replace her in a certain small but i'm
putant part. He had looked at dozens
of young women. but none of them
would do. Now he was awaiting the
arrival of a girl who was playing in
Westerns.
Suddenly, a slight commotion
caused him to look toward the door.
He sprang to his feet, and began to
tremble with excitement as he took
in the vision which was Arizona.
''Well, WELL" he sputtered. Come

he. Look. and you ought to get on

That's what came for" Arizona
replied. AFTER all. my proposition is

Anything within reason" he
beamed.
Just at this point the door flew
open. disclosing the highly indignant
secretary standing between two studio
policemen who had rescued her. At
sight of them, Mr.. Edleman's voice
arose in fury.

Works Commission from the $5OO,0OU
highway surplus authorized by the
last legislature was ABOUT III line

Mayor Irvine b. Watkins Indicated
today. He said he had no detlhl'e
figure in mind, but that he knew
there was not great deal OF State
highways routings inside the city
limits that needed any very great
amount of repair or maintenance
work at the present time
The legislature authorized this fund
for use in the cities in he mainten-
ance of streets over when state hlSh-
wav traffic passes 1t is intended as
a compensatory item against expenses
of municipalities incurred by reason
of this heavy traffic.
The only streets in Henderson that
carry through traffic of this type are
Garnett street. from one end Of the
citv limits to the other, Andrews
avenue from Garnett street eastward
Young street on the Townsville road,
n
Granite intersection to the city limits,
only few hundred yards. Garnett
street was newly paved only two years
ago. and the Young street link is in
fairly good condition
Andrews avenue may receive con-
siderable of the States $1,000 highway
fund allotment.
It is optional with the State High
way Commission whether it does the
work or the city makes the repairs
and does the upkeep, provided that
the money is spent on the streets in
volved. The distribution was based on
population, mileage and need of re-
pairs and upkeep. Henderson had the
population, but the qualifications
were not so urgent as to mileage and
needs.
Mayor Watkins said today he had
not yet been advised by the highway
department of the ALLEGATION of the
funds.

REMAINING ASSETS
OF BANK ON BLOCK
State Bank Department To
Sell Notes and Property
of Old F. & M.

Remaining assets of the old Far
merS & Merchants Bank of Hender-
son will be sold at auction by the
State Banking Department within the
next few weeks, and formal notice of
the sale will be given through the
Daily Dispatch tomorrow.
The face value of the assets runs
far up into the thousands of dollars.
They consist of notes, judgments and
a few real estate sites.
The bank closed in April, 1924 and
has been in the process of liquidation
ever since that time, more than II
years.
Under an act of the legislature of
several years ago, the State Banking
Department, under the direction of
Quincy P. Hood, State bank commits
sioner was instructed to take over
the completion of the liquidation work
for all State banks that closed before
it came into being. The old F. & M.
bank here was one. The liquidation
period of II years since its close is
one of the longest of any closed bank
in the State that has not been finally
worked out.
Bank officials hope that the sale,
together with other funds that might
become available, will produce suf-
ficient funds to make one more final
payment on the liabilities to de-
positors of the old bank at the time
it closed. Payments so far have
amounted to 80 percent, which is con-
sidered a good record. Most of the
navDooptc moca made wit hin a COM
paratively short time after the close.
Stockholders were assessed shortly
after the bank failed, this supplying
funds for the largest single payment
to depositors.
