According to Information received.
Parker was captured about two weeks

When he was taken by the officers

The conditional proner Of federal

makes it necessary primarily to pro-
vide against its loss. but we must not
lose sight OF the needs of the county
highway systems which are SO neces-

When big chunks of snow are
whizzing on the bosom of the

a-blizzing, people sigh and say,

beastly weather there is recon-
pense at night, when we camp
around together by the CRATE

and reads a story, and he
chortles as he rocks; mothers

darns a pair of socks, and the
little sons and daughters play

there is happiness galore, though
