Neither fighter appeared in seri-

often would take Armstrong; best
punches with hands down, bobbing
and ducking and grinning through

The second, fifth. seventh. ninth

Armstrong because OF low blows.

Well, folks. we suppose you'd like
to know the financial results OF the
Elks Milk Fund Frolic last satur-
day night. The results were better
even than We had expected. The
gross receipts were S661.2O. the ex-
penses 8242.41, and the net pro-
ceeds were s418.79. This has gone
into the Elks charity fund and will
be used mainly TO buy milk for
needy youngsters.
We hope that everyone who at
tended our frolie enjoyed themselves
because We probably viii make our
Milk Fund Frolic an annual affair
but without the support of the pub
lie hat would not be possible We
want to thank everyone who had
even the smallest part in making
the Frolic a success. The Alaska Ma
tive Brotherhood for allowing us re
duced rates on the use of the hall.
Harold Maxi and his orchestra for
their generosity with their time and
rates. j. R. Brown for the many ad-
vertising slides which he showed at
the Coliseum theater. Horace Adams

roulette wheel; all of the Elks and
friends who came over from Peters
burg. and OrYille Keeney. who
