LET US HONOR THEM

Senator Joseph I. France and his honor Mayor Broen-
ing are two gentlemen that every true-hearted American citi-
zen cannot too highly appreciate. They are Christian men of
high moral characters whose keynotes are loyalty to the flag,
freedom and justice for all.

IN UNION, THERE IS STRENGTH

Let us all join hands and give three cheers for Prof.
