Pa, Fire Company, which closed
Aug. %, fell short of the gross re-
ceipts of the carnival the year prev
ious, but the gross amount taken
in is placed at nearly $4,000,
which is not bad sum of money
to have to check against.
The Oxford News states on Sat-
urday night, Aug. 20, nearly $4,000
was taken in. The receipts for the
Oldsmobile that was being offered,
amounteded to $1,137.
Owing to a special letter OF in
structions which the Oxford Post
Office received from the Post Office
Department in Washington, the
newspapers are not permitted to
publish the names of the prize win
ners of the various articles, it be-
ing violation Of the lottery law.

HARRY ID. BARNES ELIGIBLE
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER

The report circulated through the
county that Harry D. Barnes, Re-
publican candidate for County Com
missioner, was ineligible, is false.
The reason given by those who were
circulating this false report was that
Mr.. Barnes was not registered
voter. The evident purpose of the
rumor was to do Barnes candidacy
harm. The public's attention Is d.
rected to the fact that the Board Of
Election Supervisors met on Fri
day, August 10th, and directed their
clerk to place the name, of Harry
D. Barnes upon the bollots for the
coming primary election.

stand for adopting a baby. She's
an artist and babies have no part
in her life. Besides. she don't
know the first thing about babies.
She'd probably be an awful bust
with one.
"She just can't handle . baby.
And she'd never admit she was a
bust as mother and, maybe, the
poor kid would die Of neglect or
overattention or something. Ar.
lene Just hasn't any motherhood
in her. She's a glamour girl. !"
"Oh, so I'm Just glamour girl,

was a purr. "And I haven't any

you know I haven't any mother

"I don't know" Bill hastened

any signs Of it and I've known
