SHIPPING POINT

That Jerome must be recognizeu as

from this station. In comparing TINS
With the shipments from Nampa oil
only 161 cars during like PERIOD

They were talking about the subject

It is difficult to make comparisons
Of illiteracy In France, England,

and Scotland before the war, because
different methods Of taking the count
are used in the various countries. In

the computation was made, notes an
