calls for a Main street meat store. This
morning he had been switched and up
till ten o'clock had answered five
calls which started:
SIS this you DR.. Yost?"
mo. is your pipe line busted?" and
this would usually end diplomatic
relations.
An informal discussion anent the
Darwin theory was started at the con.
clusion of the board Of affairs meet.
ing this morning. Ira Smith and the
Mayor got into an argument as to
whether or not man decended from a
monkey orlthe monkey decended from
