The mid-June blast of midsum-

The break in the heat wave over
the Midwest came after several

The cool air mass from the Pa

Corporate Franchise Tax on Doyle
Press, Inc, and the firm Is now

Doyle according to Candidate
Rhodes, has not only engaged in
the publishing and printing busi-

cal column-"Capitol Close-Ups"
distributed to 155 Newspapers In

taxpayers and the main purpose of
this column was to glorify the
State Auditor and smear his po-

However, the ambitions of the
State Auditor and his henchmen
have not been confined to engag-

business at the taxpayers expense.
They also have organized cor

goods and in the language of the
official charter; to deal in all
kinds and descriptions of goods,

according to the official charter.
More significantly, this corpora
ton is authorized to deal in ma
chine tools and construction equip
ment and is apparently free to dc
business with individuals and cor
porations having contracts with
the State. The Auditor is bound by
law to audit these contracts, &C.

charged, that at some time during

A our
"a TOWN
BIG DAY

oot OCitCoui dii OIu OQh liCC ot
the London Country Club fif-
teen long years ago. The dis
cussion which took place un-
der this old oak tree had to do
with the wages being paid the
caddy boys at that time.
Namely, two bits per round.
1897 was a tough year as we
remember it but the argument
about the two bits is neither
here nor there since events
which took place soon after
ward far overshadow the act
ual facts as to whether two
bits per round was too much
or too little.
1t was decided at the oak
tree conference that the lads
would strike for higher pay.
The events which followed
this momentous decision speak
for themselves the boys
decided that, since it was
ladies day, they would all take
q dip in Deer Creek sans
wearing apparel of any sort.
So off to the creek they went,
twenty strong, and with sew
eral of the more timid lads in
tow. kerplunk, kersplash and
kerplunk in they hoped
in their birthday suits!
Several visiting ladies, wit
Messing this, tore for the cad
die house at a gallop to report
these strange doings. AS the
boys cavorted in the cool
waters, squirting water
through their little teeth and
otherwise performing like a
covy of trained seals, the cad
die master approached. He
pleaded, cajoled and threaten
ed but nary a single lad dared
venture from the dark waters.
The caddie master, swift Of
brain and fleet of foot, made
a quick appraisal of the situa-
ton and before the lads could
sense his intentions, gathered
up all the assorted clothing
the boys had shed and made
for the caddie house like a
mechanized secondhand man.
The boys continued to float,
splash and enjoy themselves
in general. The game of golf
came to a complete standstill
at least for a while.
Soon the weird sound of
sirens was heard and in a
wink the golf course swarmed
with police plus a number OF
newly deputized civilians. The
valley rang with shouts. Guns
came out and the twenty curly
headed moppets lsapt from
the protecting waters and took
off in every direction each
with a cop at his heels. The
police cried Stop! The boys
cried, Run! The hue and cry
echoed and re-echoed over the
surrounding wales. The women
on the hill looked on, visibly
shaken at the terrible ordeal
taking place below!
Finally, the riot was quelled
and the lads returned sheep
ishly to the fold. Some wore
nothing but q sock or a hand
kerchief. Another wore moth
Ing but a sickly grin. One
wore a rusty tee bucket. AL
wore an expression of COM
plete defeat.
After clothing was distrib-
uted to one and all, the matter
of wages was again broached.
The management held firm
and the boys didn't care and
the old wage scale was held.
The boys were chaste instead
of chased. The ladies came
out from their hiding places
and play was resumed. As one
lad said as he bravely should
cred a sack of bats -. I'VE
don't make a lot of money, but
we have lot of fun!"
