If you don’t make the brick you get a free ride to Siberia, What more could one ask for?? Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Thompson of California are here. They have large farming interests at Spring Coulee.

From layin’ in fhe gutter all this time,' Oh I can see something shiny, Oh my goodness it’s a dime. No i oan pick up five less bottles And that sure will be a joy to me 0 ’ Cause’ 'in one of those five bottles There might have been a bee.
