An old criminal was once asked
what was the first step that led
him to ruin, and he said: "The
first thing that led me TO my down
fall was cheating an editor out of
a years subscription. When |
had done that the devil had such
a grab Oh me that | could not
break it.-Ex. There are about a
dozen people in ST. Johns and
University Park who have taken
this first step; we hope and pray
that their experience may not be
so unfortunate as the above men
toned deadbeat We would rather
give them two or three years sub
