Emerald Isle, the sons Of which have
stamped their impress on every ma

They have a right to celebrate
And there Is n thing about an
Irishman. If he wants to celebrate
and there be those who do not think
he has a right to celebrate. he will
personally convince them enough
to permit him to celebrate.
The Jewish race has taken its
place as a financial and trade fac

in the newspaper game just long
enough to find out that writing is
hard work, and not such a gift Of
the gods as supposed.
That being the case he seems
willing to work. and is giving Her
cid readers some good Sunday fea-
lures about the Valley. This Is
Jack Rutledge. His questions and
answers about the Valley. which
appeared in Sundays issue, struck
such a popular note that the Bishop

TT Is said that a man can tell a
lie so often that he will finally
