South America. You cannot get blood out Of a stone.
GwINNIP CORNERS. Mass-Yesterday a man
stopped me on the street to talk about adequate help
for the farmer. He was within his rights. This IS
a democratic country. A boys best friend Is his

trouble with some people is that they lock the barn

Custer occurred at Clusters last fight. This can never
happen again. The man worth while IS the man
who can smile. Great riches do not always bring
