Milo Curtis and John F Boyle

Since Brack has come out and told
the people what he will do the present
year IN selling goods as cheap as any

we'll for others to use little printers

acres without having a horse on the
place. He is known throughout the

He raises corn, potatoes. celery,
melons and all kinds OF vegetables,

the marketing is done without the aid
of 4 horse. as he trundles his crops to
town in a wheelbarrow, making an
average of three trips day all the

the United States plunges into mill

nounces the entry of his empire into
world politics" with an enlarged
navy and a bigger army. Wars and
rumors of war disturb the sleep of
prince and peasant. What makes the
spectacle grotesque is that all this
