of mine which 1 just broke with

walls. feel that the logical thing
for you to do is to talk it over with
a good attorney for it seems that

B. E. M: l am much enthused
over the way you answer ques-
tons. Your answers have encour-
aged many of my friends as well
as myself. Tell me if those people,
especially the attorney, try to keep
me from getting what was left
me?
Ans: l get the impression that
you have been misinfOrmed about
the whole matter. If you had been
left anything from, the person who
died in January, yOu would have
been informed at the time the will
was read. l can not see that you
were favored at all. No one is try
ing to harm you, or cause you any
inconvenience in any way.

suicide as am down and out. l
haven't had work since September
and never had steady job. l am
SO years old and single and l feel
like hard luck is on me and I go
hungry lots of times.
Ans: By continuing to depend
on your luck, you are bound to
starve to death. There is no ex-
cuse in your not having work. You
have no dependents, and are a
young woman the fault lies in
yourself. You don't make the effort
that you should .. when you get a
job, you don't keep it because you
don't try hard enough. Now you
need to improve yourself and learn
how to work. .. If you do so, you

Hello, Everybody:


Your correspondent, when in a
pensive mood, continually thanks
her stars that she is living in the
United States, where we have not
only freedom of speech, freedom of
worship and the freedom to print
the truth without it being censored.
Or have we? Now that spring
is here these long drives around
the lakes still have their fascina-
ton, and no matter how many
times repeated seem to produce
greater thrills. For all newcomers
we Minneapolitans suggest that to
really enjoy your stay you must
see a few of our ten thousand
lakes.
