to have a librarian in charge all the
time.
Nature has certainly joined the
NRA to curtail and raise the price Of
food products. Reports are coming in
that while the potato yield is good, yet
many are rotting in the hill, due to the
wet weather, or rather, as some be-

event it is said the crop will be ma
terially curtailed.
The wet and chilly weather seems to

Geological reaction-the Bowling AL
ley windows are partly boarded up.
