Ed Strand lost his navy blue coat
Saturday on the road to GOOdland and
found it two days later by q cOntinu-

prides himself with 90 acres and the
neighbOrs estimate it at all of 40 bush
els per acre, which is pretty good for
an old soldier up in the sixties and no
masculine help.
The gramma grass is heading out and
