You are a Patriotic citizen. You

you demonstrated your patriotism by

It is safe to say that not one out of

catch the same speeder twice. The
marshals are also after other

a large attendance at the funeral
services of Mrs. R. J. Crow, which
were held at the residence of the
daughter of the deceased, Mrs. C. S.

indicated the love and affection felt
for the deceased by a large circle of

solemn and impressive, and at their
conclusion a long line of automobiles

—While Clyde Bogle was in !)nio
this last trip, one of his very best
Holstein cows died on his dairy farm,
tast of the city. She was :i thoiough-
bred, a very large and fine cow, one
that Clyde valued at $1,000. She ivas
calving, and something went wrong.
To most of us such a loss would be
most grevious, but Clyde bears it
philosophically, and snys, "OK well,
it's all in the game, nnd tomorrow's
another day."
