The suggestion was made during a conversation regarding probability of the real estate board contesting the registration law "We would like to fight it. but we spent all our money on the $l5O law." Payne declared. "I regard the registration law as an unnecessary expense at this time.' Uhl declared. "We don't need it." Elections around here are not as rotten as they used to be." Payne said. If conditions needed improvement at this time. I would be m favor of the law but I ihink the SIOO - 000 can be spent in better ways—or not spent at all." Glenn B.

Say, I notified mast of these men about three weeks ago, personally. that they were to be taken on again. If I had been a French general and kissed them on both cheeks before pinning a medal on each of them, they wouldn't have been so elated. •T'll bet the army in the World war wasn’t nearly as pleased to get out of the trenches as this crowd is to get back to work.
