go to the fire warden and get a written
permit to burn rubbish on his own

and each week it has increased ILL.,

This speed of growth is reached by
fine mathematics. An ounce of seed
is counted. and the weight of a seed
is found to be 1-14600ths of an ounce.
The weight of the turnip is reduced
to ounces, and then the total of seeds
per ounce is multiplied by that num-
Der, which gives the exact number of

division the rate of turnip seed

go about patting the heads of dogs or

could not keep her hands off, but just
took pleasure In patting strange horses

standing beside the curb was her de-

screamed and finally disconnected her
