have all gone. So what's the use?
This isn't such quiet town alter
all. Senator Simpson brought dark

II. J. Blancha I'd did the same. Bur
when the guests looked at the color
of Senator Simpsons auto they were
at first inclined to take it as per-

son assured them that the coloring
was put Oh in anticipation Of what
a certain second choice congressman
might feel when what Senator Simp-
son will have done after, the, congress

fast. Senator Simpson met hundreds

Of Dickinson Elksj but to the pro.

In no other state in the union can you
find such an average Of Elk struc-

forth with one Elk's Home which
will outshine most of the Elk's Homes
in cities Of 100000 scattered through
out the county. The best st&manhond

those in distress. They are the

the happiness that comes to their
own hearts.
