Jack Williams and Douglass Davison of DuQuoin, Illinois, know better. They recently picked up a fat envelope which others had passed by thinking it to be an April fool's joke. When out of sight they opened it, and found that it contained $242.00 in cash and $158.00 in checks. .The owner proved his appreciation in a cash "Thank You." The editor of the DuQuoin Daily News is to be congratulated for playing up this item on the front page.
