The actual deficit for the first year was four billions (Instead of seven and this year It will be near four, Instead of two.

(p) Unless work ers return to their Jobs at once the Thomas Kay woolen mills here will be closed down for the winter, mill of ficials indicated in letters mailed to employes. The letters were sent following re peated unavailing efforts of officials to arrange a meeting with striking union employes, to effect some plan of arbitration. The message read In part: "In order to eliminate any causes for a continuation of the local strike, we have informed union officials of our willingness to abide by any terms which may be nationally adopted. Your local union has made no de mands. "We have about $27,000 worth of cloth In process which must be de livered within the next 30 days or our customers will be unable to use It for this fall's business; and If the strike prevents us making delivery on time, we will have cancellation which will leave the cloth on our hands, for cing us to take a heavy loss." An immediate reply was urged, in order that the company could know how It stood with employes, before any further plans could be made. SACRAMENTO, Sept. IB. The extraordinary session of the state leg islature adjourned here at 1:30 a. m., today after enacting Acting Governor Frank T. Merriam's program. The session was enlivened by unsuccessful fight for four members of the assembly, supporters of Upton Sinclair, democratic gubernatorial nominee, an opponent of Merrlam for election In November to hang a por tion or Sinclair's epic relief program onto the principal piece of Merriam's program, a $24,000,000 relief bond is sue in the form of a constitutional amendment which will be voted on in November.

What makes the existing condition of the treasury look fairly good how ever, la the fact that It has $1 280 -000,000 In its general balance fund (not counting the gold profit. It could run for six months on this bal ance. Also, It has no more Important financing to do up to December 15. There will be weekly note Issues of $50,000,000. They probably will be refinanced In 182-day treasury bills at not mora than 4 of 1 per cent. On December IB. $992,000,000 of cer tificates fall due for payment. Then there will be weekly Issues of $75, 000 000 December 19 to February 2.7. For these reasons the treasury in siders have marked the government bond flurry down as another tempor ary Wall street delusion. They may be kidding themselves, but they tell a plausible story. What really dismayed the Wall streeters was the Maine election. They Interpreted It as meaning they would get two more years of the new deal and possibly six, and their spirits fell accordingly. The Andrews Opera Company 20 Years of Opera From a Kail Fence Circuit Interesting History of Medford's Pioneer Musical Family in On Night Stand, In the Mlddlewest Many Inn Afo u Told by Ed Andrew, to Charlea lljiltell. No. II We learned that the opera com pany, mainly amateurs, wu renear Ing "The Little Duke." We had re hearsed a few daya when Trelor took George and me and on Allison, a baritone, into a saloon and over some beer he proceeded to have a "con ference." By a species of psychic magic that every really great lrnpree sarlo must possess, Trelcr had de tected In us the close proxinuiy what at that time was great wealth In the show business. He told us in confidence that bis partner. Spencer, had gone to St. Louis to arrange for a theater and could not at the moment be located, to supply the necessary deposit on costumes and printing for our opera. Prom the three of us he got about S250. Well, the first performanct of "The Little Duke" was a sorry affair. The manager needed more money, only until his partner. Spencer, could re turn from St. Louis. Trelor tried hard to get another loan from the troupe, but they were as snon. on cash as they were long on enthusi asm. In this momentous hour a raw-boned young school teacher from the hill country of Kentucky maoe his appearance a belated response to the New York Clipper advertisement. After the Kentucklan had seen me act and sing a comic song he re garded me with deep respect, wide- eyed and open-mouthed. Jt was ter rible. He had lost three upper front teeth, presumably in some sort of Kentucky feud. I took him aside to bask a few minutes In this new but baleful glory. "What are you going to do In the opera company, with no teeth to speak of?" I asked. "I am to be the treasurer," he said; and confided that he had put up with Trelor a bond of $250 for his honesty 1 That $250 put us on the road with "The Little Duke." Our first date was South Chicago and from there Michigan City and LaPorte. Busi ness waB bo bad that we swung north Into Wisconsin, where we might have done fairly well If we had had show. Trelor was with us and still muttering about the strange absence of his partner, Spencer. By that time we reached Beaver Dam and we knew that the alleged "Spencer" was Martin Chuzzlewlt's "Mrs. Harris. There was no such person I Garr, the tenor; Allison, the bari tone; George Andrews and I held highly Important conference at Bea ver Dam, and decided there waa no future for this company. But noth ing further earn of it, except the departure of Otorg Andrews for Min nesota. H had decided to raise money and start an opera company of our own. W who remalMd held with "The Llttl Duke" a few days more and then went busted in Oshkosh. It waa there I demonstrated my ability as book agent. I sold the work of Shakwpear and Dickens for P. V. Collier e Bona, averaging a profit of a dollar a day for three daya. After 1 had divided this with Oarr and Al lison I had not much left when I started for Minnesota. Then, wu SO cent in my pocket when I took the train at Oshkosh for St. Paul, A washout held up th train at Madison. As I stood on th station platform, trying to peer into the fu ture, a man hurried up to me and gave m his trunk check and satd he wanted hi trunk taken to th Lake Madison wharf. I got a platform truck, found his trunk and we wheeled It to th wharf. I chsrged him 95 cents, which secured a bed for the night. On th train next morning, still following my happy destiny, but with two meal missing. I wsa humming a CAB RADIO Service on all makes. Certified service station for RCA.

The angel but hiulcy child waa lugging a yellowish wicker basket, which, with rural travelers of that period. Invariably pelled food. I felt hungrier the moment they took the vacant aeat In front of mine. Meditating on a possible Introduc tion. X overheard the old lady asking1 the candy butcher If they had to change trains at St. Paul. It aeemed sufficient and, like Othello. I spoke. "Pardon, me, Madam, but how far are you going?" I asked, trying hard to be guileless and succeeding no better than the Sheriff of Notting ham disguised as a tinker. However, this glorious lady was too big for suspicion. She a poll gl ted for eating on the train, saying they had left the farm early. I explained that I had gotten up too late for break fast. It was just that easy! When we had finished the fried chicken I knew that her son had a homestead near Aberdeen, S. D., and that she wu going there. I had often been at Aberdeen and was able to give her a good description of everything. When we reached St. Paul at noon she gave me her purse and asked me to get her tickets for Aberdeen. I first explained to the station agent and he helped me to buy the tickets. When we went back to the old lady he told her to be more ear ful about giving her purse to stran gers. She was Just a bit Indignant. "Why, Mister, he's no stranger," she said, "he knows my son In Aberdeen!" Ves, people were more gullible in those days, back yonder; but they wars, by and Urgs, shads more honest, mister, if you don't mind having the opinion of a man who took both ehicken legs away from a child.

Yn$teqd of an Overhaul - a fitctoty reconditioned engine Every mechanism, no matter how finely made, eventually wears and must be reconditioned. Automobile engines are no exception.
