with his trucks, going from here to
St. John, in Whitman county, where
he has a contract on road work. =. 1t

He reports two or three hard rains

full one for this community. Early
in the evening there was the COM

moving picture Red Cross benefit at
the Orpheum, and those who were
able to stand the strain attended the
dance given by the Knitting Club for
the high school pupils at the Civic

Caroline's mind was busy with the
suspicion which her uncle's words con-

else since she heard them. The cap

She must think first and then ask
