joined from applying the provisions of
the water carriers law Of February ~,

based on application for an injunction
filed by the Minneapolis. st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie Railway Company.

Mr.. Deans lecture is a talk. With
no attempt at oratory, without flights
of imagination he endeavors to tell
his aud ence of the tn ngs he has
seen in the weeks he has passed on
the main line and branches OF THE

concise and simple but are made with
the enthusiasm of a man who loves
the hills and tn enthusiasm goes

Dear "Neighbors",
Some of us ladies'. Ezra Win ans,

planning a sort of a shower for a
week from tonight, You see our Free
Library never has had whole lot of
chance, be ng in that tucked-up cor
ner with folks tramping around up
stairs and all; but it's done real we'll
in spite Of it and hasn't begged folks
for sympathy or money either, so
some of us thought we'd just get to-
gether again and show you that folks
is just humans after all, and we
thought seeing as how so many of
you liked to go down to the library
for books and all, you'd be real 6 ad
to buy a ticket and do your part in
this KIND of a shower,
OF course you may have seen US
when we raised the curtain on our
lives before, but guess you'll be just
as glad to set and see us once more
as we are to get up and be sort of
plain foolish--when it's for the IL
brary.
Seems as If we was more glad to
do for folks or places that sort Of
kept Their troubles to themselves and
didn't ago whining around about how
bad off they was eastways that's the
way we folks feel-and guess you
will too when you think about it.
Yours for a real good shower.
