ness the coming season. 1t is hard to
find any one at all favorably situated for
nightly visitations who has not met with

quite naturally he is not at all pleased
and is very anxious, with others, to know
for certain who did it. Honest people
who work for living are getting just
little tired of what is going on of this
nature and are feeling that it is about
time to end it. There is way of going
at this unitedly and little we'll directed
effort, with something substantial behind
it, might save considerable future
trouble.
