off with some Scotch whisky cases

put up sign reading:

Now we call that pretty clever. But the

Little by little we are making Roadway

First let us rid our haberdaSherieS of

No doubt we will be going after Scotch

Herr Louis Haeuser, candidate of the

For some reason, the electorate neglected

Flower hog" of course They have II love
for the beauty in nature or they wouldn't
carry wild flowers home with them. They
are unfortunate, however in lacking the
vision to see far enough ahead-to pic
ture the time when the flowers they now
enjoy will be extinct thru their own fault
of selfishness.
How much better it would be to heed
Dr. Pitts advice. He says;
IF you wish bunch of flowers for the
table, plentiful field flowers may be taken
without harm. But don't pick the rarer,
more delicate wild flowers, If you really
love them"
Think il over. The next time you are
in the woods and start to fill your arms or

ask yourself:
