A check for close to $4,000 is what
our farmer friends near Cando receiv-

on his place during the past season.
This is nearly all clear profit and

would pay attention to this kind of
business there would be fewer mort

The sooner our farmers learn this the
more prosperous they will be.

tie between the revolutionary forces at
Ciudad Bolivar and the Venezuelan

troops entering the city slowly. All
the houses had been barricaded and
the revolutionists had been forced
from fiat roofs called azotoas. When
the revolutionists finally abandoned
the houses, after having taken all that

otherwise stop the advance of the gov

as to communicate with the next

struck by cyclone.
At last reports the capitol was still
in possession of the revolutionists, but
the complete success of the govern
ment forces is assured.
