Another pair of fools we'll met. Mar
Gus Bunce Of Groveland, Mass, adver-
tised in the papers for wife, who
might become suffragette, as he was
willing to do the cooking. He receiv-
ed 5000 letters, and chose out of the
entire lot, a girl from Ryder, N. L.,
who is said to manage her 200-acre
farm. Bunce has repaired for Ry-
der with his 5000 letters and says he
intends to while away the long win
ter evenings reading them. If he mar
ries the girl, she ought to take him al

Can any beer be obtained at either

Of the Cando Democrat. Gov. Burke,
who has been without an official or

try in vain to be rehabiiiated into the

Ben will do a farming stunt or two
