Mayor Thompson last week applauded when
visiting Australian band played God Save the

And now all the fat men will be running for
president since it has become known that Pre-

grly advertisement refusing to permit any of
them to be posted within the city limits. Now
if these wise men will just increase their for

Wisconsin seems about to pass law re-
stricting the hunting of deer over a period of
years, this in an effort to give the deer popula-

what is our worst aiment and you will get ten

else with which the human race is afflicted
They assert that worry is caused by fatigue
and their cure for it is rest and relaxation.
Worry over the possible loss Of job or over
a poor crop, over unpaid bills and thousand

more unhappiness than war or an epidemic
