 good insurance policy less than a week 

 old and the combined efforts of the in-

 in the recovery of the ear within twen- 

 ty four hours.

 ket .January 22.

 his growers to plant it.

 tulips attracts attention at John Pehr- 

 son's store at 1134 Bryn Mawr avenue. 



Among the most enthusiastic boosters 

 of Champ Weiland is Emil Reichling, 

 foreman of Peter Reinberg's houses. He
