Representative of the Indiana group

May, this being the Indiana number
of the magazine. Not in the sense of be-
ing a "wrte-up' of the state though this
is the idea a special number generally
conveys. The May Reader Is an I'm

native 1ndianlans or by those who
adopted the state and were adopted by
IL at an age so early as to identify their
whole lives with Hoosierdom. And not
