Geers has been doing the past week?
Certainly, there is still interest
left in horse racing, one of the best
sports that ever made the first turn

When you can see racing where in
IL heats there is hardly a fraction of
a second difference in the time, it is

! The officer stationed at the corner
of State and Main streets is a patient,
good natured man. He is certainly
doing his duty. Not all of his troubles
come from automobiles, either. Many
drivers of horses have yet to be
coached along the lines of road cour-
tesies. He has to have as much pa

Has any one in the house tried to
find place for a small business in
Montpelier? No, we'll, don't. You
can't find it. We know of a small
concern that would like to get a
home, and by talking with real estate
men it is found next to impossible. If
you do not believe it take look
around and see. The concern men,

to be situated, One small manufac-
