less. AS the Junior spokesman
continued to hold the floor, we
learned of his ups and downs in
his newspaper world.
you know if we don't have any
Yakima news we can't sell all our
papers. So you see, I just have to
get out and get it."
The remarkable discourse of
this youngster served only to leave
us at a loss of words by way of
reply.

minutes to spend with you. Our
mother is visiting friends and we
must hurry back"

get it."

left to hurry back to mother. AS
