crop is very evident from the fact that
1920 bushels of berries were shipped

reached into several thousand dollars.
The Baby Contest at the Booster
Store is very enthusiastic affair.
Scores of beautiful babies have been
entered for the prizes, and Clio babies

self-preservation, the names of the
judges will probably never be known.
