The proper time to pillow an apple

dry enough. 1t is usually bad practice
to pillow in the fall. There may be no
harm done, but there is always dan

only those eligible who did not under
stand laws relating 10 oil and gas. and
as every lawyer in Pennsylvania in pTac-

oil and gas Mr. HearStS rule would
compel us to go into some other state for
