Until Eldon bent upon the humble

the potato bug was a pest, thing that
ate up potato vines and reduced the

Not so.
The notorious Colorado beetle is no
pest.
Eldon says so.
The potato bug is the best fshlng

And the beauty about the potato bug
Is that YOU can catch him when you
want him. Always you know enough
TO hunt up the potato patch and you'll

Before the war there were many who

the last king of Great Britain. They
believed that the country was bound to
become a republic. Today some of them
are not so sure of 1t.
Throughout the war King George
proved that he was a regular fellow" as
many Americans publicly called him. and

showed that he was a chip Of the old
