1.-THE most credulous people | know

committee reported that they had ar
ranged with II. r. Unger, OF the City
bakery and grocery, to supply every.
thing needed for the Anniversary
church supper. The ladies of the so.
ciety had worked so hard TO secure
funds for the carpets, that they were
too tired out to do the cooking and
baking for the supper. Besides it was
a question, II 1t was not just as econom-
ical in the long run to have this work
done by a professional baker. Re.
membering the delicousness and whole
