"a resident of TowSOn had new roof put
on his house three years ago. having bargained
for the best shingles. Now the roof is in snch
a condition as to require entire renewing. The
old roof performed its functions for more than
twenty-five years, which shows how worthless
most present-day shingles are.
THE Law and Order League of Arlington,

"A 9th district dairyman who planted
sorghum and cowpeas this year was curious to

-Three or four buildings on a farm in the
10th district were burned several weeks ago.
The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin
and yet it does not appear that the slightest
effort has been made by the authorities to ferret
out the person guilty of the crime. Again we
ask: What is the State Fire Marshal for,
anyway?

respectable white woman, without incum
brances, in a small family, to cook and do ligh!
house work. No washing. Good home ano

seem.
