from the End chapter Of the Acts of the
Apostles, citing that as the aut hoTitY for

tremes to which it goes. Under the.
community Of interest basis that Che pa

gress. Men are not going to investigate
and invent and develop industries for
the love Of the work. In the time Of
Chris, when fishing and agriculture were
about the only vocatians that occupied
the minds Of the. people to whom he

has created or bought should belong to
the people and that which God has
placed on this earth for the use of man
should belong to all men, and no man or
set of men has a right to monopollze it.
No man or combination Of men has a
right to deprive another Of the profits Of

the indolent the profits Of toll. If one

editor Of the Review and related some
interesting circumstances connected with
that position. At present Mr.. Kuhlman
is with the Kuhlman Electric Co., which
has a field covering the whole United
States. In speaking Of the city he says
has changed very much for the better
but the most Of the old land marks he is
still able to locate.
The county commissioners have in
hand the resignation Of Frank Lindmey.
er as manager Of the poor farm. Tie
resignation is TO take place the first Of
April. This gives the commissioners
ample time TO secure another man for
the place, but they will have hard work
getting q man who will in every way be
as satisfactory as Mr.. Lindmeyer. He
has had charge of the farm SINCE its be-
ginning and has had to contend with the
