“ I’ll say they h a v e !”
‘ “C an you ca rry a n y th in g ? ”

F ro m the shelves the secretary took big packages of paper and

“Too m u c h ? ” Ho asked.
“It will be ' ne tt n m inutes after I get b a c k !” said the boy.
“T onight,” the secretary w ent on, ‘T il drive out a tru ck

them selves and tell the folks back home how things are going.
Millions .of sheets are given aw ay free every week to A m erican
