taking an advanced step toward

are doing nothing with said crusher

Therefore be it resolved by the

Yet here is theme of domestic &C.

the intellect and should Immediately
engage capital in ton lots as field

Simply stated, the case is as fol-

pounds of eggshells go to waste an

than enough bulk of lime to furnish
mortar for the erection OF all the
