C., to San Diego, the sooner will it prosper as it should. The Ad Clubs’ treaty of peace for the whole ‘Pacific Coast, and the Tacoma-Sedttle com- Mercial organizations’ new get-together steps _ are straws that indicate a saner future. political pots boil they cook up an awful there are painless dentists, it doesn’t hurt ‘Light wines lead to heavy fines. ‘All the world loves a listener.
