WOULD You Care?

-
Went 70 some far distant city.

swear word. In no time at all John
had cussed himself into insolvency, be-
inr 81 600 in debt Those who have an
itching to swear, in and out Of season
had better take warning from Johns ex-
perience and either cut it out or else
refrain from making rash promises
PERHAPS before We 70 any farther it were
best to apologize to Willie Green for the omis-
sion Of his signature from yesterdays contri-
button. Hurting his feelings would be calaml-
tous-for u.s. May we remind him, however,
