Mississippi, who have come 10 that
county and made II what 1t IS. with
home ownership dope. We have
accused The Republican congress OF
putting things IN our way OF acquir-
ing homes, and now we find a Demo

(Af;er furtler discussion Mr..

we fellows WHO nave Ssca OH the
East side for long time have our
own peculiar stock jokes among
each other. and the attitude of others
on this bill reginds me of the one

citizens and mogries one of our Choc-
taw or Chickasaw girls, that the first
hing he does is TO assume full re-
sponsibility for all the tribal affairs.
