Nonsense. II your manufacturing in-

your big department stores that patron

capital; encourage your small merchants,
who are the life of a city, and they will
encourage your manufacturers and job

challenge from Sam Jones to discuss
the bible. We suspect that the colonel
was wise in refusing.-Pioneer Press.
Well, we should say so. Having

Jones to prompt the colonel to waste

gumentative, scholarly and eloquent.
Jones is fellow who takes advantage
of human frailty to place cheap senti-
