 If collars go up , ceats, retail clothiers are again blamed. but if automobiles go up S15o or s20e. nothing is said.
 The newspapers are hollering about paper shortage. saying all must avoid free boost stories. out here we find the papers full Of this boost stuff. Ii everyone had to nay for his articles as 1 do for mine there m iGht not be so much excite n1ent and agitation.

 In Phoenix. here, we depend upon each other We can't destroy a part without in5uring the whole Is 1t just clothing that is so very high? The manufacturer holds the ace, in this game, against our king. Let us wait, another deal is coming, then perhaps we will hold three aces against three kings Who knows when?
