that the time was made in a special trial
and not in a race in the true sense OF the

w. G. George OF England set the time

YOU find Yourself skinned by the
man who was forcsighted enough
to plant peas to sell to you.
But it makes no difference how
high the price of COW peas may be
YOU will find it cheaper to buy
them than it is to do without them
Indeed there ought to be a law--if
