W<• think it is one of the finest sea- 1 tures ever presented by local sponsors, for after all what could bf more important than the focusing of attention* on the couimunity s greatest zestful youth. To those who made the two pages possible, we say, thank you. for a splendid community jesture. ) . _ o —„ Mayor John B. Stults. Engineer Ralph Roop and Carl C.

This starts with the receipt of a letter purporting to ba from a prisoner In a Spanish jail, who has a large sum of money which his imprisonment prevents him from securing. Anyone who will send him the wherewithal to get out of jail can have this sum. which is much larger than the necessary investment Needless to say, when any money is sent In i response to this plea, nothing further is ever heard of money or applicant. The latest version of this hoary fraud transfers the scene of imprisonment to Mexico, hut the principle remains the same. If you receive one of these letters destroy it.
