term on the supreme court, Associ-
ate Justice Ralph J. Anderson brings
to the court, not only the benefits

an exceptional foundation, attorneys
point out, for the heavy work which
fell to him in his first term on the

derson being the former Laurette

According to those who have
watched his career, Judge Anderson
is thorough thinker, endowed with
admirable common sense, loyalty to
the high posts he has won and to
the Treasure State. BY taking his
full share of responsibility in writ

A DEAR LADY.

We have a dear old lady
In our corner of the town,
Who spreads a deal of sunshine
Wherever she goes round.
She doesn't own great big house
Nor drive a handsome car,
But her CHEEKY, merry laughter
Makes folks greet her from afar.
She's had her share of trouble,
OF work she's done her part;
Yet neither one has changed her,
But just mellowed up her heart.
She never is too busy
To call on neighbors new,
Or take some flowers to the church,
And be always in her pew.
We hear of great successes,
Folks honored and renowned,
But we love our dear old LADY
In our corner of the town.
