Like Coolidge, The

oreasing very fast, and judging from
the way Coolidge is growing, our

the editor not later than Tuesday
noon each week, and advertisers
should have their copy in not later
than 5 p. m. Tuesday. The Ex-
aminer is anxious to render service,
but in order to do so we must have
the cooperation of the public.

ALL OF COOLIDGE and all of the
COOLIDGE CITIZENS, and it is
striving to serve the community
and the people who reside outside
of Coolidge. We know this is true
so please cooperate with us and it
will rebound to the advantage OF
everyone.

Denmark and Sweden are leading
the world in advancing the interests
Of the common people.
He told how the people in Sweden
have cooperated for the common
