that the case Of Mr.. Brigham was the

would expect to take foremost part
in all patriotic movements, especially
at time like this when our all is at
stake.
The many friends and acquaint

greatly surprised at the attitude and
action of Mr. Brigham in his attitude
toward the war activities. For sew

to the council and the food admins
traitor in reference to Mr.. Brigham.

drive, he was called before the coun-
