that probably costs 25c a gallon sells
under republican rule $8 00 per gallon.
That men that get ofl and on the cars
and feed themselves costs more for
transportation than swine. That mort
gages are frequently paid off by placing
a larger blanket on the property. That
taxes to help support increasing office
holders are larger than ever. That
good citizens in Decatur demand Mr.
Allison and Mr. Hepburn's retirement
