to sponge off of you. They must bring
their well filled baskets if they expect
a look in at this occasion. This is to
be community picnic and basket
lunch affair, of course we will not in
terfere with any of Mr.. Hoover's plans
for we are just as patriotic here in
Mason county as any county in the
United States. We know that our good
old Uncle Sam does not expect us to
go around with long face. He wants
us to be jolly and happy together for
we work better when we are in that
spirit and he wants us to put in our
best lcks just now, to help lick the
Kaiser.
