Every once in awhile some of our
friends suggest we say this or that
in the paper. If you ion't see your
suggestion in the next issue, write
it out and read it over twice and
then read some of our simple stuff.
Had Con Reed remained dead a
few hours longer, we would have
had our opinion of him written any
way. We couldn't nelp feeling there
was something wrong with the re-
port. We felt that Con surely
wouldn't do such an important
thing and not say anything about
it,
We can't help wondering when
we go the Barnesville road whether
the folks on beyond the end Of the
present contract are going to sit
quiet and wait till the present con-
tract is finished before they ask for
any more. We suspect the officials
will not force any more on us unless
we show symptoms of wanting
more. Let's forget where it will go
from the Stevens stand and get il
there. Come on Renrock, Reiners-
vile and all interested, and let us
tell them we are paying tax and so
on. What say?

Kestner was conscious only of
the fact that he and the startling

face had come together, had locked
arms and legs and were engaged
in an Adamitic struggle for SUI
premacy.. He knew, in a vague
way, that the other struggling
couple were involved with them.
