Will Craig has been stationed at Par
ker, Pa, in the largest pump station in
the country. 1t seems that the N. T. Co.
are tavorably impressed with our young

reduction of the siza of postal card by
clipping, rounding off the corners or

and then imagine little clipping will
not make any difference. Others round
