The snow which fell at Ratio
and other surrounding places here
abouts. gave Springer the COB!
The weather, however, has bee
quite cold.
Springer also caught the overa
and calico spirit. Last Wednesda
posters were copiously scattered
stating that after the show at tn
Pastime Theater a meeting woul
be called for the purpose of re
solving upon knocking the breat
out of II. C. L., by wearing denim
and calico, etc. Well the upshe
of it all was that only about
bakers dozen answered the cal
and hence as far as Springer
concerned the price on overall
and calico will remain REASONABLE
unreasonable for a while, in obed
ence to that inscrutable human lay
of supply and demand.
