Hoover $4,000. The Harding vote was
argely anti-Wood and the Wood vote
was almost entirely antiHarding. All

Sam Olson and the Hanson Gro

overdrawn at the First National bank.
Mr.. Olson stated to The Free Press
that he cashed check Of SIS for Mr.
Blackmer Saturday and Monday
morning he was notified by the First

the store for over year and had al
ways met his obligations promptly.
Last week he presented a check of
$25 in payment of a grocery bill of
some two or three dollars, and receiv-
ed the balance in cash.
The people who have the checks are
in hopes that Mr.. Blackmer will yet
made the checks good.
