She has 41 plates in her plate collection. Many of them are displayed on a plate rail above her kitchen cupboards. Some of them were given to her but she has bought many of them from places they travel. She has many state plates and cities like Gettysburg, Philadelphia and Mount Vernon. Mrs. Stager, besides working with billing and invoices for fish sales, does all her own housework and cooking. There are two girls who type the invoices.

Are there gooseberry bushes still growing along the fence? Did you ever dig for the buried money? It seems an an cestor of his is supposed to have concealed some money near an old log cabin. Others have looked for it, but “no” we have not. (agwayl
