the duty of every paper to be guild

guilty conscience. Therefore we feel
ready for the coming of 1916 and with
the assistance of the public we will
endeavor to be faithful to the trust
imposed during the twelve months
to follow. When we err it will be
owing to lack Of light-not from mail

farmer did not have to hawk his oats
