of stealing a large bunch of rhubarb from
the garden of j. Il. Carson one night last

irg first-clsss mail was practically the
same 10 amount during the month.

New legislation affecting the sale OF
| fire crackers and other dangerous ex-
| plosives makes II necessary for dealers to

Fourth is thing much to be desired, but
a "wide-open" event will hardly be
tolerated.
