torlal line. We like to see a.merchant re-
fuse to advertise in a home paper, and then
try to get share of the trade that the paper

be around in time to read the paper at the
expense of friend not worth the 10th part
of what he himself is-it looks so economi
cal, thrifty and progressive, you know.
