rate will run into our arrangements. All
old soldiers 10 state and national homes
get half-fare rate on all railways. That
Is less THANH cents now, but after the
rate 10 reduced we can scarcely be able To

the one that worked on Sunday says,
"friend you did not work on Sunday, II
did, and my corn looks 40 fine as yours.''
