One of the mountain peaks Of north
Wales is known as the Chair Of Idris, or
Cadar Idris, rs the Welsh people call it,,

Chair Of Idris will, on the following
morning, be dead, raying mad or en-

That is once we were April fooled by

it will be In about three weeks, at dis

date and let the people know through

We overheard a conversation the
other day In which several persons
made the remark that "these CORE

either crippled in the head or else there
/ is no gentlemen about them" Now
you people be a little careful what you
say about Us. It's very seldom We
write anything that we can't stay by.
We are not quite so dull as all that.
You must not think because we don't
sign our names to what we write we are
afraid of getting into trouble, for we do
give the editor our names. He would
be fool 10 print what we write if we
did not. You people must not get jeal-

You need not think by calling Us names
and saying we don't know anything
hurts our feelings a bit. 1, myself
never wrote anything for slur or insult.
But if any of you took any of my items
for an insult, all can say is you are
badly mistaken and are not very wise
