II is a well recognized fact that
the price of piece of realty is shaped
by Its earning capacity, but the area
| OF every American city has been ex-
| tended first and all the time to place
property within the reach of those
who had not enough money to buy

B. Kern went down to Ignacio this
morning to attend a ditch meeting

to separate the whites and blacks as
to keep apart the moral and immoral.
1t has become a subject for serious
consideration and should employ every
economy society has left for It's own
protection and self-preseryation.

stitutions should be willing to step
Into the limelight at all times.
