 The following anonymous letter has been received by the manager and or dcred placed in this department: Manager Independent; Dear Sir:- You are letting A Mutt get whole lot of stuff in your paper without paying for it, and is it possible that you have him on your pay roll? The public is getting awfully tired of his stuff and is losing confidence in you as business man, and it is universal ly hoped you will see the error of your judgment and remove the nutty column from your otherwise toler- able paper"
 Nothing short of revolution could stop us now.
 Mrs. Mutt tells us the only way she is able to keep cook around the place these days is by ordering new Jazz record every Friday and Tues day.
