The milk supply is rapidly being brought
up to the demand For long time it was
necessary to purchase from eight to twelve
gallons Of milk daily, but the amount was
reduced considerably as soon as the cow
loaned by the w. c. T. U. and the one pur-
chased with the money donated for that
purpose appeared on the grounds. Mr..

have a ride mister?"
