city council have him do gas work be-
cause he is cheap. They have put an
inexperienced man at the head of a

When the gas plant is paid for will
the council reduce the price of gas?
That depends whether the city hap

Oh, yes, everybody does, but Judge
Gates represents it here and o. e. Ev-

Neodesha to dance to our music now
and then. Yes, Tommy, Mr.. Evens is
a nice looking man and a bright man.
1t takes that kind to represent the &C.
topus, but while he is dancing with
our wives and whispering sweet moth
ings in their ears, he is trying to hook
the octopus on to our city government.
