M'PHEE ID VISIT
 OLD HOME

William MCPhee and Lon Went worth will leave this evening for the Outside, going overland to Val deZ. where they will take the Ala meda which sails on the first. MT. McPhee will meet his brother in Seattle and together they will make the trip across the continent to Prince Edward Island. their old home. where they expect to remain about month.
 IL has been II years since the brothers left the old homestead. and when last they saw each other they decided they would make this trip and live over again the days when they roamed the fields in bare feet and sneaked over the back raid on some melon patch. As each of them reached the age of grey hairs many years ago it is not likely that they will have much show of evening up old scores with those who meted cut meritorious reinstatement in their early boyhood.
 Our Billy is the youngest of the two brothers. but he says that the understanding is entered into that he is to say when. and the elder is to keep up the lick as long as he does. and he guarantees that there will be "A hot time at the old home" while they remain.
