The answer Is because of our repellent

Industrial enterprise keeps the people

More people means more consumers

Our Tax Laws are distasteful and

to amend them instead OF allowing
them to undermine the morals OF the
people by openly disregardIng them.
The successful evasion OF one Law
may encourage the violation Of others
and In time breed a contempt for all
Laws.
While every citizen owes obedience

fair and equal 10 every citizen.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Mrs. W. r. Todd was not able to

on the home grounds against Caldwell
High School of Richmond. A good
game is expected. Don't fail to see it.

best girl the night before. As a result
he had but poorly prepared his Virgil

after reading "and | put my arms

The essential apparatus of baseball
is simple and inexpensive. All that is
required is field. a stick. the ball it,
