= Man has sinned more than any
other animal in trifling with natures
balance. Glover crops and the kill
ing Of hawks are apparently unrelat-
ed yet the hawks eat the field mice,

lieve that it will be largely increas-
ed by the new firm. Mr.. Hutchin-
son brings to the business all the
capital that can be used, and that
counts for a good deal in these days
of sharp competition. 1t may also
mean considerable to those who pur-
chase hardware in Manchester. The
new firm will be able to buy close
land discount its bills and will be in
position to give its customers some
advantages.
