for nickel-that is, if the manufacturers

no effort will be made to modify its

there is a ''nigger In the woodpile" OF not.
AN UNUSUAL COMBAT.
II is a curious fight. Usually public
campaigns concerned with legislation are
protests against measures which 1t is
feared will be placed upon the statute

there. This is neither. 1t is not fight

This all looks very good to the average
