Cakes they are pretty light.
Now is the time of the year when
the farmers should nov the weeds
along the roads, especially on the
rural mail routes, as if they are allow

snow next winter and it will be almost
impossible for the carriers to get
through.

Right on time the Brookings cornet
band sailed into the city via the auto

proud Of their output along this line.
