Many of the folks mentioned
have since passed on to that Great

Charlie Wealand says a woman
will buy anything from an agent if
he talks long enough. Guess that's

in‘o the garden to dig worms. Af-

I can’t think of a better way to
wind up a column from yesteryear,
than to congratulate my boss,
editor, for his fifty years in the
newspaper business. It's a funny
thing. When the Bulletin was first
started, way back in 1901, it was
alc a year. Now fifty years later
it’s just $2.00 a year, just four times
as much. Why most things today
go up in price that much in a few
weeks, especially the paper The
