Well Kalle! have you reflected q
little more about that bit of sarcasm
you had last week? Amt you off the
AGENT some? It seems you don't UNDER
stand what meant in that article of
mine which appeared some time ago.
certainly didn't mean never to use
the word "visit," a. you seem to take
1t. 1t says plainly enough, that I did
not think it was of any interest to re-
port seighborly visits. For instance,
Ii you should call on neighbor liv-
Ing half mile away, do you think
that would be of sufficient news value
to report in the paper? Whether 1
have gone hey ond the limits or not
will be for the editors to Judge.

lege to cast a vote for every cent you
pay in to the Tribune, and also Lelp
some CT your women friends to secure
