Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
Most of you probably are very
busy this week doing some of your
final Christmas hopping. Of
course, if you're like a lot of people |
I know (including myself), you'll |
most likely wait until the day be-
fore Xmas to buy your gifts and
just about break your neck getting
everything you want before the
stores close on Xmas Eve. . That
lassie, D. of Mpls., it's said, was in
one of the dimestores the other day
just abuying stacks of mistletoe for
a Christmas Eve party she's plan
ming. She intends inviting (among
the long list) five fellows that she
has brushes on. She says she
ought to be able to interest one
of them cause she plans to have
the mistletoe hung at various parts
of the room. Her best friend says
she's not coming for she thinks it's
silly to have such a party. To tell
the truth, the friend is so good
looking that she doesn't need
mistletoe to land her men. And,
here's another tale coming from st.
Paul. This lassie has just bought
another new hat and has coyly
tucked a piece of mistletoe on the
side of it so if she meets Mr.. Right
Man on the street she is prepared.

SIXTY PERSONS
 CLAIMING ESTATE
Thomas Rone From Fin. land Died in l780 in
 Providence, R. l.

Providence, R. T., July 17-(UP)-- The estate of Thomas Rone, a Finn who died March 2S, 17S9, was claim ed, with interest, today by 60 per- sons, and the city of Providence faced Q legal tangle that officials estimated could bankrupt their treasury.
 State Representative Hugo S. Clason representing heirs, said at. torneys had worked more than 20 years to prepare the claim and that his clients were scattered through out the United States and Finland.
 Rone, sometimes known as Roan, Roen and Tuomas Ruona, settled here shortly after the American rev. olution. There were no known heirs to his personal property and real es- tate, some of which was in the city's present business district.
 In 1908 the Providence town trea- surer possessed the real estate and leased buildings on 1t, collecting in- come for benefit of Rone's heirs. In 1880 the state supreme court permit ted sale of the property which was purchased for Sl6,300 at auction.
 The city deducted $151.56 for ex- penses and placed the remainder in trust for the heirs.
 The petition filed by Clason dee mands the $l6,14s.l4 plus interest from Oct. 6, 1880. It also demands "all moneys, income, rents, uses and profits" the city received from the property and an accounting. The city claims committee will consider the petition.
