The Change at the Cove


I, was early in April that Billy
Louise rode over to the Cove to
see her friends. and there she
found . great change. Jass had
failed TO wake up one morning. %
now Marthy was without even his
shiftless oompanionship.
What are you going TO do now.

nephew OF hers that Billy Louise
had begun to think there was no
such person. Il dunno when he'll

might as well OF been alone"
Even harsh Marthy hesitated and
did not finish the sentence that
would have put slight upon her
dead.
And strange as II may seem. the
nephew. whose Lame was Charlie
Fox, came that very afternoon be-
fore Billy Louise went home. He
was q college man. Marthy had
said, and had worked In a bank.
and tho Bslly Louise wondered
why on earth he should want to
bury himself In the Cove with
Marthy. he had treated his aunt
with sympathy and kindness
when he heard OF her loss, and the
girl rather liked him.
"I'm glad he's come" she said

LIE.
Griffiths' vote was cast against an or
dinance which is the only one OF It's KIND
in the United States. IL was meant 10
be patriotic. but its provisions were crude
and childish. II even sought ITO desig-
nate the exact size of flag that might be

II il was unpatriotic 10 vote against Il.

WHEN GRIFFITHS WAS APPOINT
ED CHIEF, II did not protest then.
Neither did the Post-In,clligencer pro-
test against Grifiiths' vote on the ground
OF patriotism when the ordinance was IN
the council.
Now il is prostituting itself to besmirch
a noble, patriotic man, "a citizen OF high
type" as II said itself only two weeks
ago.
Two weeks ago the Post-In.elligenee
didn't think Griffiths could win. So II
dealt with him honestly and said he was
a fine type OF man.
Today Griifiths has every chance 10
win. So the P-I. prostitutes itself to any
means, however foul. to kill him off, even
to the extent OF repeating Ludwig Franks
