Cecil link, alias Frank Burton, who

VIM. J. Rickerson of San Diego,
California takes exception to some of
the sentiments expressed in recent
letter from DR.. Phipps recently
published in The True Northerner.
Mr.. Rickerson was formerly a resi-

Ranch hands EARN help, are getting
from $500 to $4,000 per month.
House rent, garden, electric lights,
all the fruit they can use one quart
milk per day and the above is the
price my son-in-law was offered if

young and healthy people. I am Rke
