ing force and executive office. The

to make an effort to supply the need or

production out all together, to the det.

Great quantities OF vegetables will
be needed this summer by the heavy

Perhaps 1000 people will want vege.
tables daily. They will want them
fresh. The only way to get them
fresh is to get them lically. The mer.

Lincoln County should supply this de.
