elected captain of the st. Thomas col
lege football team for 1908. Broderick

Ing owned broadcast, and in every
part of the world, was shown by an
action before Judge Holt in the dis
trict court, in which foreclosure pro-
ceedings were being brought by an en-
ecutor of an estate against Michael P.

the property at that time was very
much run down and that 1t has been
repaired since then, but, nevertheless,
the fact remains that there has been a
substantial rise in value.

meeting pointed all one way. A reso-
luton in favor Of the government
establishing postof1ce savings banks
also met with hearty approval. 1t
was thought that there is no valid
reason except the opposition of the
present banking concerns why those
should not be beneficial to all classes
of the communities throughout the
United States Resolutions were adopt
I'd favoring the extension of the rural
delivery system and also indorsing the
improvement of waterways and high
ways throughout the country. Means
were also discussed for extending the
organization of the state grange. The
