son of Nehawka, for a conversation
and to extend the compliments of
the season, but finding that he did

Andy and Dan had a coversation in
which they each wished each other
and the families happy-arid prosper

in both cases. Andy said the growth
of Los Angeles is such that the In

He one year ago ordered a tele

not until just now that he was able
to have it installed, as there were
so many orders ahead.

Chicago, 111., Jan. 2. Fewer laws
and more recognition of the value
of commonplace living are the great
est needs of America on the thres
hold of the new year, Rt. Rev. James
E. Freeman, Episcopal bishop of
Washington, D. C, declared in an ad
dress before, the Sunday Evening club
here tonight. ' ' '
"What we need In our home and
religious life today Is not more laws,
more organizations, but ordinary,
commonplace living, with everyone
doing his inconspicious duty," Bishop
Freeman said.
"We have so much machinery now
that there is no action. If you want
better conditions in your nation,
finer men and women in political life,
you must exemplify those ideals in
your own life. One hundred per cent
duty as a citizen, worker, captain of
industry or whatever your position
may be, i3 what is required of you."

fact that this year there were 100
marriage licenses issued In that office,
an increase over 1925, when the num

was partially operative under .the old

caused a great falling off of the num
