I learned that they were clearing about
46 acres Of timber. Besides, there are
near 20 acres of alfalfa land in the
plot. Now, if that plat Of ground was
planted to potatoes and figure q fair
crop, it would feed go families next
winter instead of eight families. as are

Tell Your Congressman

The volunteer soldier Is the greatest

them with training. 1t draws the men

The heinous charges made, in the first

Vile there were Is victims (ncluding
