John Roenbaugh and young Butler

John Roenbaugh and young Butler
were in town Saturday and made a
call at this office. They were loaded
with the largest harvesting story
we have heard told this year. We
know that their story was true be-
cause we saw them when they told it
ard they looked like honest men.
Their story was that they cut 80 acres
of good wheat day for ii days. To
further prove the story they had some
of the wheat with them and produced
it as evidence. This of its self would
convict them in any court. So we are
fully convinced that they told us this
story. If any of their neighbors doubt
it they can settle it among themselves.
