To the Editor of me Eagle.
You can always find fellow going the
contrary way in everything. Take a
drive in the park and you will meet that
fellow on the river drive going the wrong
way.
Now that the old sign on the Murdock
avenue bridge has been taken down,
keep it down.
I was in the Boston Store yesterday,
and lot of the clerks had on shirt
waists. They are here already, the first
barbingers of spring
The approaches to the sidewalks on
First and Topeka ought to be fixed.
I see there has been bill introduced

A curious n1ake-up-Sam Jones. Preach
at least they call it preaching-and
in his lectures ridicule religion. His
week in public places and only those that

I see that the Ministerial Union Of
Newton have passed a resolution asking
the city council to pass an ordinance Tor

chewing the rag over the Nation affair
and tend to business it viii only be an
other episode in the life Of the city soon
to be forgotten.
I would stop those Ike newspaper cor
respondents who send out their sensa-
tional rot to the yellow journals about
Wichita and her people
There are very interesting revival serv-
ices being held in the First NJ E church
Some fifty or more conversions are re-
ported, with an increased interest Dr.
Lynch is preaching intensely interesting
sermons.
would stop driving faster than a walk
al the intersection of Main street and
Douglas avenue. and I would appoint
special policeman to see that the ordin-
ance was enforced.
What a roaring farce that house Of de-
tendon Isl a lot Of negroes 90 over there
and play baseball, and on Sundays great
crowds go over and return to toe city.
