How to Be Your Own Grandfather.

An exchange has figured out how
one may become his own grandiath
er. The process follows:
81 married a widow who had a
daughter. My father visited our
house frequently, fell in love with and
married my stepdaughter. Thus my
father became my son.in-law and my
stepdaughter my mother, because
she was my fathers wife. My step
daughter had a son, who was, of
course, my brother and at the same
time my grandchild, for he was the
son OF my daughter. My wife was
my grandmother, because she was
my mothers mother. l was my
wife's husbands grandchild at the
same time, and as the husband OF a
PERSONS grandmother is his grand
father, | was my own grandfather.

leaders are asking themselves the
question after notifying the president

Of Labor and every labor union in
the country. against the Union Pa.
cifc is still ON.
As planned and announced much

As yet no answer has come from
the president in answer to the strike
leaders demands.
Should the president accede to the
wishes Of the labor leaders the west

for Roosevelt's coming will have to
be dropped from the list OF places to
be visited on account Of their not
