ed Friday evening by few of his school
mates, who wished to help him celebrate

Ezeta, who is having a lively time these
days, being besieged with all sorts of
people, with all sorts of plans from a

the lecture platform. He says if he ever
gets power again in Salvador he will
recommend the purchase of the United

The Rutland Herald is one of the thir
teen newspapers IN the country that have
existed for century or more, and the
Centennial issue of our contemporary,
Saturday, the Sth, is the occasion of
proposed century club of these journals.
Newspapers crowned by a century of

the journal and the management will re-
ceive the congratulations of its contem-
poraries.
