Attendants knocked a pane of glass off and the plant grew another eight feet They expect ft to grow a full 20 feet before blossoming. . KEEP THE BANQ^ To the Editor: At the coming city election there will be two questions presented to the Voters for their decision. :~ The first, concerning the introduction of Daylight having Time, was carried by an overwhelming majority two years ago, and nothing has transpired since to make this measure less desirable now. Therefore, I'll not take up your valuable space on that subject What I would ask ia: Why abolish the band tax? Is it to lighten the tax burden? Surely, a very small item to begin with, and out of all proportion to the great pleasure which j Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stevens of El we McHenryites derivs from those Mr. and Mrs." Ivan Abbott, Mr. fine band concerts on a summer even- ar,d Mrs. Verne Abbott and Mr. and jng.
