WHEN THAT DAY COMES

The United States never again

cultural College. for the way prices
are not only hanging on. but in many
cases increasing. IL would seem that
there is no relief in sight And for
this the people themselves are large

fat days OF prosperity and compare

better than they had been accustomed

when the pinch came they could not

Just now everything is going out OF
this country and comparatively moth
