totaling over $225,000 were mailed

$10,000 and another received over
$28,000 in refund. Credit to be ap-
plied on future tax payments was
given the taxpayers due to receive
refunds.

gray hairs among the gold. So we
got stride the bike; all went well
until we had a double-header, got
one of our lower limbs tangled up
with the bicycle frame; hence we
are walking on a cane. Well, we
are not so durned old after all, just
because we fell off the little girl’s
bicycle, it was too small anyway,
didn’t fit us, and besides, we were
out of practice; but doggone, our leg

leaning on a staff. But now, don’t
you get it into your head that we

Auto Sparks: For hours they had
been together on the front porch.
The moon cast its tender gleam down
on the young and handsome couple
who sat strangely far apart. Ha
sighed. She sighed. Finally:
“1 wish I had money, dear,” he
said, “I’d travel.”
Impulsively, she slipped her hand
into his; then, rising swiftly, she
sped into the house.
Aghast, he looked at his hand. In
his palm lay a nickel.
