Saturday, with a full attendance OF the
members. The object OF the meeting
was to adjust, If possible, the question
OF values of existing rights held by

willing to make concessions in order
that the work may mol be DELAYED and
as soon as the proposition gets

progress, but it is stated that the Saco

vital concern to the whole valley.

Well, just HOW the housekeeper has lots of cleaning to at tend to, house cleaning. for instance and let us say right here the man who will allow the housekeeper to do any cleaning without using our washing fluid should be given ride in the ne" patrol wagon, and surely some men are getting d ride ill the "Black Ma riar" for much less Offense. Now, as c,r as cleaning is concerned the Wo- man who does the washing or house cleaning without our washing mud IS a very foolish person, and if they doubt us, just buy one bottle and see for yourself.
