 "zindah Grotto has received gen. erous support from the public to date and it is gratifying to note the representatives of number of Wa terbury oragniza tions here tonight. The circus has been praised as the best yet and many patrons have taken the time to phone and write to me expressing their approval and appreciation for our efforts. This is our method of raising funds to con- tinue our work and it is evident that the public likes it."

watch accuracy in the early stages of learning and at the end will have both greater speed as well as more accuracy.
 Trying to separate accuracy from speed is impossible as settling whether the hen or the egg is most important. We can't have the one without the other.
 Fast takers impress most people as being smarter than a whip. But fast talking is more likely to be sign of superficial thinking than of profound thinking.
 It takes both brains and reserve for a person to think twice before he talks. If he does think twice, the odds are he will talk only half as much.

we make much better progress if we direct our early efforts at accuracy. We can do the things more speedily in the long run when we begin them by striving mostly for accuracy.
 Look out for accuracy and speed takes care of itself.
 The speedy typist is the one who gives most attention to accuracy at the start. The speedy draughtsman is the chap who as a beginner watched his accuracy closely. One thing that makes them speedy is

the city In his relaxed moments.
There was deep resentment
among the old-timers.
TN the official family at
Olympia. viz. the department
heads who run the state govern

commission nor the supreme
court. is there a single Tacoma
citizen TO be found. Tacoma Is
ever conscious Of this. knowing
as II does, that Pierce county Ia
the second county in the state
and has 10 per cent of the
states population.
THE people of Tacoma in their
ten-year fight for the Narrows
bridge, carried the Black Ball
ferries and seattle's Wholesale
group on their tired backs.
Eventually, they were thrown
off and the bridge was built.
Now the battle for the reason
able ferry rates is on. and Ia
coma is forced 10 fight the Toll
Bridge Authority for commuta-
ton rates equal to the ferry
rates. There In a feeling In Ia
coma that seattle's wholesalers
and the Black Ball Ferry Line
are on Its back again. The Toll
Bridge Authority IL trying to
hide behind the r. r. c.. but
Tacoma knows that the rates
were made in Olympia and not in
Washington.
"Now the governor seeks a
third term. He viii get certain
support in Tacoma. but not be-
fore SOME old scores are settled
and settled very definitely. With
a very colorful young man in
the mayors office. with a pro-
nounced feeling that its luck has
turned. with a confidence in the
immediate future that knows no
bounds. Tacoma is going to in
sist on its place in the sun. and
no candidate for governor can
take the matter lightly"
Surely this article deserves
serious consideration by the peo-
pie Of Pierce county now.

a diminutive Mckinley stands

IL there ever was In the history
of the country 30 many dollars
