would present their ideas at the
next meeting Of the Commercial
club. While that issue looked
normal to us, to the editor of the
Hsrreid Picayune and some other
citizens of Herreid, it seemed to be
taken rs a veritable death warrant,

Since we published our issue of the

been published twice, in the first
issue following The News wherein
