We are reaplng the usual harvest.
Chattanooga has not been any

some people half as much as a barrel

T. Pope Shepherd said:
II believe that the system which
England has Is responsible for the few

that the league of nations brought back
by President Wilson was dead"

use the old league as a working basis
in forming new world body, was ths
question the governor asserted.
