We are reliably informed there
are at least fifty professional gam
blers and "pluggers" in this city
at the present time, and the ques-
ton arises, who supports this

Sistersville must get over the
idea that she has plenty of time in

Factories in Indiana which have
lost their gas supply must move
within the next year or they must
put in converters and make their
own gas. They cannot afford to
fool around for several years.

town that gets after them and
shows them it's advantages is the
one that will get the factories.
