Palo Post: What about our Elec-
trio Railroad? Haye the Ionia people
called quit and going to let the ST.
Johns firm put road through to Crys-

thinks she can run the whole country

will surely be cut off. Well an Elec-
trio road to Crystal Lake is a sure
thing no matter whether Tonia gets it
or not.
