After diaaer the gu^ts were taken to the Presidt.nt Gilbert Blakely presided in a happy manner and, after a de lightful repast by Hotel CJinton, wel comed all guesta nnd introduced all visitors. Nearly one hundred were joyously assen^'.ed around the ban quet board where, with the aid of pat ented noise makers, animate noise makers, conf^ti, and the Preabyterian college opchastra, the roof of the building did well to “stay put,” and the electric ligms were lenient not to blow out fuses. Attractive souvenirs were present ed all guests and a wheel of good for tune declared about thirty in a dis-' tinct clam. These prizes rang^ from I fruit caku, boxes of candy, foot stools, and trays, to a chicken rooster.

Here fun did not stop; he just started fun all over again. His dovetailed jokes are distinctly his own and the serious dips ; that he gives you are so sudden be- i fore you can find yourself you are j swept off your feet by a currwit of| hilarity. Dr. Z!^niel does not mean! for you to weep and weep alone, but j his very presence bespeaks, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.’.’ | After the ladies broke Mr^. Nichols’j flashkgbt camera, their escorts de cided to take them home. ! ' i Tlie success of the evening was due; to the careful planning of the sep- \ arate committees.

The question is who will start the transaz-tion. The answer is: I will, under the following conditions. I am today paying my doctor’s bill. As a portion of the settlement I am imdudi^ my certifSed check for 1 am asking that the receiver, Dr, Hays, endorse this check and use it directly in payment of some local bill ( f his and that he request that the reigfiver of the check do the same and so on until the check is full of en dorsements. When there is no more room for endorsements, and only then, .should it be turneii in to the bank for payment. Anyone would gladly allow a small diacAmnt for the collecM+w T»f « bill of $10.00 or more, and so I am asking that in e.ach transfer, the receiver of this check pay the endors' r who gives it to him 2.'>c as a reward for not de positing but keeping th<* check in cir culation. I am asking that The Chronicle publish the list of endorsers after the check is finally paid. ^ I am asking that the check b'i only used to pay local bills of $10.00 or more, and that it be not sent out of Clinton. I am askmg that this typewritten request be kept attac to t^e check until it is paid. I am asking that one hundred other local citizens start a similar check on a similar mission to sjieed up the payment of local bills. A thousand dollars more circulating in the payment of local bills would do a lot of good. The check will not cost the bank any more for final clearance than any other check. Being certified in the beginning and containing a long list o ' endorsers, it should be as good as cash. Where the receiver is-willing (it cannot be obligatory) it will gain for the givei* 2.'>c disco int. It will be ve.y interesting to see how long it stays out before depositing, and how many local bills it will actually help pay. The check is of course good at any time deposited regardless of the num ber of endorsers, and whether the back of it is covered by endorsements or not. I &m appealing, however, to the receivers in each c*ase to let it stay out of the bank if at all possible until full of endorsements. Don’t be the last endorser until there is no more room for further signatures. Thus the check may accomplish the most good, and perh^s it may help me win my owi) prize, for I will give a ten dollar prjze to the one who sftows me by March first, 1931, the check originally given by himself or herself which contaias the laigest number of endorsements, and which has therefore settled the most local bills. If others care to add a few dol lars to this prize for the winner or to reward the 2nd, 3rd or 4th best, let me know. ^ I would be interested in hearing from time to time from the receivers of my check. The cheek is marked “Use this check to pay some local bill.” ~Wm. P. JACOBS. AMcrican Magasiae $2J10, Woman's Home Compaoisn 11,00, Collier's Weekly $2.00. All three for $4.7$. . JAMES W.
