to quite a length in dressing
up the editor of the Press over an
article we had in our last Issue
and wherein he seems To iccl that
we attacked his patriotism.

The Press unheSitantly is proud
to go on record as to ddnl1ne

We note in Mr. Howe's article
that he says he owns S2OOO.0O

have always thought of our friend
John, and that is, that he Is a good

expect him to own more than

days roll by, any store, bank or
business man will accept a liber-

will accept a five, ten or twenty

the Press that we too, ere long,
can boast of owning a few hun

ever offered upon the financial
market. Financial patriotism is
