about running store. He's only interested in
his stock k-jobbing operation And manage

IF the bank wants to sell this stock, why
doesn't it sell it to the present management?
It's darn good! John Greedy has been run

Tupper poughed a straight furrow from the
office of the president of the Ninth National
Bank to the Bckford Building. where her
lawyer Jeptha Croy had his offices. Waving
aside the receptionist and the counselor's
secretary, she reached the lean. bald headed

in astOnishment down

her talk with Wilson.
At the conclusion OF
her story the lawyer
swung his feet away
from the desk and
shook his head deci-
sively. "No!'

F. D. R. Burnett

People of the Pacific coast stand
squarely behind President Roose-
Welt in his policy of about aid
10 the British. l. II Burnett. presi-
dent of Burnett Bros. declared
Monday following his return from
a six-weeks' vacation in southern
California.
Since left Tacoma. have
talked with hundreds of persons in
all walks of life. along the entire
length of the Coast" Burnett de-
olared, and with almost no ex-
ceptions that I found. they are
agreed the people should give the
president full support, wherever 1t
may lead.
Il found California people very
much alive TO what Is going on
here In the Northwest, particularly
in the Tacoma area, and we will
see thousands of them up here as
visitors this year.
They are really jealous of our
weather: probably the first time
in history that they'll admit IT
But they have certainly taken a
beating in weather this winter.
Burnett said he met many old
friends In California. among them
Roy A. Mcmillan, former Tacoma
newspaper man now connected
with the Los Angeles Chamber of
