The man who has the monopoly

has a turn.

Business Mens’ club is to be spent

Congressman Crain in his Fourth
of July effort pointing his bands
towards a Rev. Fatheron bis right
said “we own this country.” He
made a mistake; he should have
said our Hebrew friends own it

to buy it if they want it.
A short time since the Express
accepted it as a compliment that
the new heading on the Sunday
Light was something like the one

turn the compliment by saying
that of late the editorials in the Ex-
press read very similar to those ap-
pearing in the Light.

derman of Dimondale Mich. we are per-
