Dear Mr. Smith:—Permit me to communicate these feelings of appreciation for the very splendid services rendered us by The Gazette in its fifty years of usefulness, fighting always for our rights and privileges. We are very grateful to you as the领事. We thank you for the good that men do, lives long after them." May we hope that The Gazette may go down in our age as an immortal, in memory ever of you. Wilberforce, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I wish to congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of your paper. You have done a great work in these years and my hope is that you may be spared many years to continue your good work. I am publishing in The Christian Recorder your letter on, "Our 50th Year." May God bless you and keep you in health. With every good wish, I am Very Sincerely Yours. R. R. Wright, Jr., President, Wilberforce University. Cleveland, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Editor:—Congratulations on the fiftieth anniversary of The Gazette. It is no small achievement to conduct any business continuously over a period of fifty years; but when that business is journalism and the publication survived without missing an issue through the vicissitudes of the fluctuating economic conditions of the past half century, then congratulations certainly are in order. Here is wishing the "Old Reliable" another fifty years of service to the human race. Sincerely yours, Gordon H. Simpson Exec. Sec. N. A. A. C. P. local branch. Cleveland, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Friend Harry:—It is to me a source of the deepest and profoundest regret that I was vacationing at Idlewild, Mich., and did not know Chas. S. Smith. (As he appeared when appointed over 30 years ago.) until today that on Aug. 25 The Gazette entered upon its fifteenth year of continuous publication. I was a reporter for your paper 40 years ago and at the same time secretary of the Onward Foraker club (of which you were president). Although I am somewhat late on account of being absent from the city for three weeks. I feel that I would be amiss W. EDWARD FARRISON An Ohioan Appointed Head of the Department of English in a North Carolina College for Women. Greensboro, N. C.—Beginning in September, 1932, the department of English at Bennett College for Women will be directed by W. Edward Farrison, formerly of Orangeburg, S. C., but now of Columbus, O. M. Farrison was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts at U. in 1926, and with the degree of Master of Arts at the U. of Pa., in 1928. Since he has taken a post graduate course in speech at the U. of M., and has studied in the graduate school of O. S. U. For two years, after he received his first degree, he was a part-time instructor in English at Lincoln U. and most recently has been acting head of the department of English and director of the work in public speaking and debating at W. Va. State College. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Euel Lee, farm hand whose conviction on a "faked" charge of murder was reversed by the Maryland Count of Appeals, will be tried again at Towson, Md., Sept. 26. Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the nine Scottboro boy-victims, who is on a tour of Europe, was again arrested in Belgium, last week, by police, and sent out of the country. Work on the filming of the moving picture, "Black and White," for which 22 Afr-Americans went to Rwanda, his aro-maroon, will begin in the spring of next year. Meantime, each receives $300 a month. Rev. Jasper Lewis of the "House of Prayer" of S. Statesville, N. C., was run out of the church and the Rwanda by his members after the reading of an amorous note said to have been written to him by one of the female members of his congregation, a girl who acted as church secretary. James A. Munday of Chicago suggests the early performance of the grand opera, "Aida," with the following all Afro-American cast: Abbie Mitchell of N. Y. City as "Aida," Marian Anderson of Philadelphia as "Ammeris," Geo. Garner of Chicago as "Radames," Jules Bledsoe of N. Y. city as "Amonasro," John Burdette of Chicago as the "High Priest" and Paul Robeson of N. Y. city as the "King." Last week The Cleveland Gazette completed its 50th year of publication, without having missed a single issue, and with the same editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith. What priceless service this paper and this editor have rendered to the race! Ohioans are especially indebted to Harry Smith, the long-time forensic service he has given to his people. As a legislator, he introduced the Ohio Civil Rights bill and the Ohio Mob Violence Act, which became laws of the state and are models for other states. He has ever fought segregation and "jim-crowism," and race proscription of every kind. Negroes of Ohio have a better chance because Harry Smith and The Gap have won eighty-five years. We congratulate Editor Smith and his splendid publication—Dayton (O.) Forum, John H Rives, Editor. in my duty if I did not extend to you my hearty congratulations for having published "The Old Reliable" Gazette all those years, not missing a single week. This I know is true for I have been a subscriber for 40 years and never missed a paper. Again I extend hearty congratulations, and I pray that you will live for many years to come and that "The Old Reliable" Gazette will be published every week on time, as usual, until time shall be no more. Very sincerely yours. Charles S. Smith. (Former Secretary to several Directors of Public Safety of this city and not a relative of the editor.—Editor.) SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A PARDON OR PAROLE? THE STATE BOARD OF CLEMENCY WILL DECIDE THIS IF THE DECISION IS FAVORABLE Over 3,000 Other Prisoners Would Have to Be Released If He Wins—Tom a Model Prisoner and Well Liked. The ROUNDER Miles Heights village, annexed to the city last winter, has an Afro-American Democratic club with Richard H. Lincoln as president and organizer. It claims 45 members and is called the Miles Heights Roosevelt-White-Bulkley club. James Gary, sec. and Sam B. Shelton, treas. Geo. C. or G. Corinth Lacey sure pulled a "Rodgers", last week, in that 17th ward Democratic organization job pay-percentage expose. Like Dr. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader of Ward 12, he made the mistake of promptly pleading guilty. Only Lacey in addition made another mistake in giving to the public the Boss Gongwer endorsement of what the Civil Service Commission characterizes as an illegal act under the city charter. This latter forbids the indirect or direct assessment of subholders for any purpose he receives. It looks as if it is necessary for Lacey to do another "Rodgers", that is retract his damaging statements as far as possible in order to get back into the good graces of Mayor Miller and the Democratic organization. The Democratic leader in the 17th Ward (Lacey) said he had been able to place 42 of his constituents in the service of the city. Not bad! It is these individuals or some of them, and others, who are said to have paid 25 cents a month in the form of dues to the 17th Ward Democratic club because of their jobs.

This case went through the Ohio courts and then to the U. S. Supreme Court. Fleming has been a model prisoner, is employed at the central warehouse and is housed in the honor dormitory where he is extremely popular among the prison- Thomas W. Fleming. ors. Clad in prison gray trousers and a blue cotton shirt, freshly laundered, he appeared in court, Wednesday, accompanied by Mrs. Fleming. He was accompanied from the penitentiary by a guard but lost him some time during the proceedings. After the court adjourned, he stood talking to Mrs. Fleming and Martin for a few minutes, then started hunting for his custodian. "Where's my guard?" he asked of Chief Clerk Dan J. Bonzo when the latter emerged from the court room. Bonzo represented Warden Thomas at the hearing. "Oh, you can come along with me." Bonzo answered. NO "JIM-CROW" SCHOOL For Manila, Says "Young Teddy Roosevelt," Governor General of the Phillipines, and That Settles It. Manila, P. I.—Race prejudice, which had made headway in the Manila Central school, was given a dead end with No. Go. there Roosevelt issued an order that be no color-line and that Filipinos and other races should be admitted in all institutions on a plane of perfect equality. Fool-American teachers in the school had drawn a color-line on Filipinos and other races because the school was largely attended by American-born boys and girls, or the children of Americans. Gov Gen. Roosevelt's order read as follows: "It has come to my attention that entrance to the Central school is based upon race. I believe this to be fundamentally unsound. In the expenditure of public monies no racial lines should be drawn. I therefore believe that all racial discriminatory entrance qualifications be eliminated." THE I-B-N CLUB A New and Thriving Republican Organization Promoted and Officiated by Women-Voters. The progressive women of the 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th and 19th ward, the 19th ward, the chairship of Mrs. Della Wilson, have organized one of the largest political clubs in the city, the Ingalls-Bolton-Norton Republican club which meets every Friday evening, at 2183 E. 31st St. Men have been permitted to join the club, the officers of which are: Mrs. Della Wilson, pres; Mrs L.

A WEALTHY MAN NAMED SIMPSON TOOK A JOURNEY TO A LAND, WHERE THE WEATHER WAS REPUTED TO BE ELEGANT AND GRAND, second; Lonnie Hawthorne, bartone and Charles Powell, bass for the C. M. and I. quartet. Bishop W. E. Holman, E. 87th St., manager. Maceo and Carol Thomas, de luxe dancers and entertainers, were in the city, a few hours recently, en route west and called on his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Joe T. Thomas, E. 40th St. A few days ago Judge Samuel H. Silbert filed with the board of elections petitions containing 65,000 names, Republicans, Democrats and independents. He needed only 2750 signatures to his nominating petition. Many of our most prominent residents were among the signers. The judge has been in public service for 21 years, serving as police prosecutor, the municipal and common pleas courts. He is the only judge in the state to ever lead the judicial ticket at four separate elections. He is popular among our people because of practical demonstrations of true friendship. In submitting the report of the fact-finding committee of the National Bar Association at its recent meeting in Indianapolis, Atty, Selmo C. Glenn of this city called attention to the "lack of co-operation our lawyers received from preachers and doctors" and said this would not be the case if they had a "real organization fighting every step of the way to force our own to patronize us." The Gazette feels that it is within the power of attorneys to make "force" unnecessary and that the important lawyers the patronage they feel they are entitled to from our people. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and its attorney have for some time had the case of Rudolph Burns who met an untimely death while in bathing at Gordon beach, many weeks ago, and apparently there have been no favorable results. The organization attorney is an office associate of Councilman Clayborne Wonder if that has anything to do with the unfortunate delay of action in the Burns' case? The Gazette would like to know. Prime Sport News **Jason Tallor** A quarter of U. F.C. players will compete in Germany, Hungary and Austria, this fall. The group will consist of Ralph Hill, Oregon's distance runner; Ralph Metcalfe, and Eddie Tolan, sprinters, and Percy Beard, hurdler. The team will leave New York, Sept. 10, and will compete in the first meet in Germany, Sept. 25. It will return to New York about Oct. 15. **"Gorilla" Breaks Foe's Ribs.** Davenport, la.—"Gorilla" Jones of Akron defeated Kid Leonard, East Moline youngster, in a hard-fought, Leonard's buttling punches caused Jones to back away during the early rounds, but he came back near the finish to have Leonard on the verge of a knockout. Leonard suffered three broken ribs in the sixth round. Watson and Bogas, star southpaws, twirled the Mason & Sons, independent club, to a double victory in the stadium, Sunday. The former halted the Cleveland Giants, 5 to 1, scattering the six hits he allowed. Bogas held the Cleveland A. B. C's to four safe blows as he coasted in, 6 to 1. **Japan Seeks Tolan.** New York City.—As announced, several weeks ago, in The Gazette, Japan wants Eddie Tolan to coach its Olympic runners. Shortly after he won both sprinting races in the Olympic games, Tolan, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, received two Japanese offers. One was in the form of an invitation to tour Japan and race. The other was in the form of the next four years there coaching the Nippeon athletes. Tolan is carefully considering both offers. Acceptance of the coaching offer would automatically make him a professional and end his career as a spinner. Ralph Metcalfe, second fastest runner in the world, and one of the heroes of the Olympic Games recently held in California, is one of the brightest students of his class in psychology. Therefore, when Dean Cromwell, Southern California coach, wrote a syndicated article several weeks ago predicting that the spinner could not run 100 yards in: 109.5-10 legitimately, and that he had not defeated anyone of consequence all year. Metcalfe merely smiled at the unfavorable comment and made the following observation to friends: "I don't believe those coaches are sincere when they talk that way. I think they are just trying to work a little bit of psychology and break me a 'b' in psychology lately. I made a 'b' in psychology lately. Metcalfe showed Dean Cromwell that any effort to make him lose confidence in himself, or to use the American slang expression, "get his goat," was futile by scoring two sprint victories in the final tryouts in the life of which Wykoff, Southern California's hope, and other runners were eliminated.

Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. 'RAQ, where American explorers re- cently discovered a complete his- torle township, dating from the early fourth millennium, is the modern name for the traditional Gar den of Eden, historically known as Mesopotamia. Many historians hold that somewhere in Iraq—in the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers— is to be found the cradle of civilizayon. Upon the breaking up of the Turkish empire following the World war Mesopotamia became a Brit- ish mandate which was erected into the Arab kingdom of Iraq with a Mohammedan prince from Mecca upon the throne. Such is the latest form as- sumed by the Phoenix among nations. In the last six thousand years Baby- Jonian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Persian, Greek, Roman and Saragen civiliza- tions have flourished in Mesopo- tamia, each rising from the ashes of its predecessor. ‘The great irrigation works which, throughout the centuries, had kent the ‘Tigris-Euphrates valley green, rich and flourishing were destroyed by invading Mongols and allowed to'decay by heed- less Turks, The Garden of Eden be- came a treeless desert, except for a fw date palms along the river banks. Cities Ike Baghdad and Basra fell into decay and seemed fag approach- ing the fate which had overtaken Ur ‘and Babylon, where Jackals how! above a lonely waste. ‘Then followed a rebirth during the throes of the great war. Once more boats crowded the swift and treacher- ‘ous reaches of the Tigris. Once more the bazaars of Baghdad and Basra and Mosul hummed with world traffic. Marauding desert robber tribes were kept in perpetual peace by airplanes humming over their remote villages. Sanitary regulations and electric light- ing made town and country both more safe and more healthful. Tee fac- tories and soda water establishments helped alleviate summer days of 120 degrees in the shade. Levees were built to keep the flooding rivers within their banks and slowly bit by bit work was begun on repairing irrigation works and building railroads. ‘Thus was modern Iraq born. ‘The new kingdom under British man- date embraces the valley of the Tigris- Euphrates between the Arabian desert ‘on one side and the Persian uplands ‘on the other. ‘To the northwest lies the French mandate of Syria and to the north the Kurdish highlands of Turkey, Southward stretches the Per- ‘sian gulf, the country’s salt water outlet to the wide world. Within this strip of territory are barely 3,000,000 eople where once flourished a popla- tion denser than that of modern Bel- stum. What Baghdad 16 Like. ‘There are three principal cities: Mosul, of oll fame, is in the north: Baghdad, the capital in the central part; and the important port of Basra im the south. Of the three Baghdad perhaps is most famous. From the deck of a Tigris steamer Baghdad looms up boldly, its splendid ‘skyline of domes and minarets remind- ing one of some “Midway” of World's fair memory. An odd pontoon bridge connects the two parts of the city, separated by the yellow Tigris. On the west bank Is the old town, inclosed by date and orange groves. From here the Baghdad-Mosul railway starts on its long run across the trackless desert, East of the river, on the Per- flan side, 1s “new” Baghdad. with its government offices, barracks, con- sulates, prisons, ete. ‘Beyond, as far as the eye can reach im every direction, stretches the vast, fiat, treeless empty plain of Mesopo- tamla—a region once more populous than Belgium. ‘The traveler is paddled ashore from the steamer in a “goofah.” a queer, coraclelike craft im use here since Jonah’s day. A goofah is woven from ‘willows about six fet In diameter, is cireular and basket-shaped, and {s coated outside with bitumen. Some say Moses was cut adrift In one of these goofahs. Old City Mostly in Ruins. Another strange craft at Baghdad is the “kelek,” a Kurdish invention. The kelek is 2 raft made of inflated goat- skins, held together by poles and cov- ered with a platform of straw mats. ‘These keleks come down to Bazhdad in hundreds from Mosul, bringing wool, pottery, grain and skins. ‘The present custom house at Bagh- dad is a wing of the old palace of Harum-al-Rashid; yards of serawling Arabic characters, cut In marble pan ‘ls, still adorn Its histerie walls Baghdad arteries of tratlic are mere alleys, often so narrow that two don- Keys cannot pass. Once Turkish sol diers tried to move artillery through Baghdad, ‘The streets were so narrow the horses had to be unhitehed, and men moved the guns about by hand. A great wall encircles Baghdad, with guarded gateways, as in medieval days. Flat-roofed, huddled Moorish houses, many almost windowless and each surrounding its own open court, are a distinct feature of the older parts of Baghdad. On thesb flat roofs Arabs spend the summer nights with tom-toms, flutes, water-pipes,,_ and dancing women, Facing the river, re moved from the Arab town, are built the imposing foreign consulates, mer- cantile offices, and the sumptuous homes of rich Jews, Armenians, Greeks and Syrians—the men who make New Baghdad. But the Baghdad of All Baba’s day. with the splendor of Aladdin's en- chanted age, Is gone forever. The pal aces, the mosques, and minarets are mosily in ruins, “Even the tomb of lovely Lady Zobelda, favorite wife of Harun-al-Rashid, is tumbled down and decayed. It is into modern monuments to New Baghdad—into roads, bridges, public buildings, frrigation works, army organization, dredging the Tigris, ete—that the Young Turks put their money. ‘Modern Baghdad is in safer hands; no dissipated royalty guards its gates. Sober, clear-headed men, drilled in the best schools of modern Europe, able to hold their own anywhere, administer {ts affairs. As late as 1830 the Tigris overflowed its banks, swept through Baghdad, and drowned 15,000 people in one night. ‘Till lately Baghdad. more than any other city in the Near East, has been slow to yield to Europe's Influence. For centuries Baghdad kept close to the Bedouin life, under the sway of nomad customs, “Even now Baghdad's famous bazaars, despite her evolution in other ways, are conducted as thes were a thousinds years ago. These Arab trading aces have changed not ‘one whit since Abraham's time. Tere fs barter and sale as Marco Polo found it, as it was in the days of the ‘Three Wise Men who bought gifts for Bethlehem. Basra is situated on the Shatt-l- Arab, a river formed by the union of the Tigris and Euphrates. Smaller cen- ters of importance, such as Kut and Amara, follow each other at intervals the entire length of the valley. Most of the inhabitants are Mohemmedan ‘Arabs, though In the cities are many Jews, while in the mountainous north fare settlements of Nestorian Chris- tians dating from very early times, ‘Arabs Who Work in Factories. City Arabs have taken readily to the ways of civilization and seem glad for the chance to work in ice and cotton cloth factories, and upon engineering and public works. Much agricultural land has been reclaimed, the date palm, of which more than sixty varieties are Known, being the chief product. Wheat, barley and rice are also grown, and experiments with cotton are be- ing made. Flowers, pumpkins, and vegetables are planted in the date orchards where the palms protect ten- der leaves below from the scorching summer sun. ‘These green spots are still chiefly confined to the regions of the river banks, ‘The rest of the lower valley is swamp or treeless plain. In the spring months when snows are melting on nearby mountain ranges the Tigris and Euphrates be- come swollen torrents and often over- flow their banks and inundate the sur- rounding country, just as they did in the days of Noah. The new regime fs taking active steps in flood preven- tion by strengthening river banks in low places and damming up the flow ‘at headwaters. There has been no Serious flood since 1919 when the ‘Tigris rose to within a foot of the Jevel of Baghdad and the lower valley became one vast lake wherein man ‘and beast vainly sought for safety.

Here's how! Women keenly alert to those subtle moves which make for good style are finding Immediate appeal in the idea. ‘That fs, they are topping their flowery chif- fons and afternoon prints, their pastel country club frocks and other of their dainty gowns which are too pretty to lay aside until the “frost is on the pumpkin,” with perfectly stunning lit- tle velvet hats such as all Paris ts wearing in restaurants, to theaters and at all smart gatherings. And if you have already acquired your “first” fall frock or suit, why of course you will be wanting to wear with it one of the new and faseinat- ing velvet chapeaux which milliners are now featuring, so as to stamp your costume with that last-minute Took which all covet. Ruby is the newest color for the alluring little toques which are now gracing the style picture. For that matter, even the newest velvet sailor 4s apt to be in that flattering shade. However, be assured that black and white are definitely holding their own. ‘That “touch of white” which fashion 80 persistently calls for Is frequently supplied by the little toque or beret of twisted or braided or otherwise draped white velvet. Just to be “nif- ty,” wear with It one of the sprightly wee white yells which flare out like a halo about the head. Perhaps you are partial to brims, If so you will find waiting to answer your bid and call attractive black velvet capelines. Decidedly shallow- crowned are these newest models. "They sure do a lot for any costume in the way of topping it with style, Mil- NEW-LENGTH JACKET as thikate showorss to 4 “ : Perhaps the most outstanding fea- ture of the definitely new sults is the three-quarter length of their jackets. It does not matter if the suit is strict- ly tailored or designed along soft lines, as in the model pictured, the new length is its claim to last-min- te creation. The fact that the suit shown has a slenderizing straightline skirt, also that the Jacket buttons up to the neck and that the sleeves are of dolman influence, establish the cor- rectness and chle of this model for fall. liners are placing considerable em- phasis on this type of hat for imme- diate wear. ‘he new cuffed hats are proving Just to the liking of women who reek a change from the cap-titting little berets and toques such as have been holding the center of the stage so Jong, and yet do not fancy the wider brims, ‘These little hats with a cuff are smartly In fashion at the present moment. The perky little cuff effect at the top of the pleture to the left brings velvet back in truly Victorian manner. In the original it is of vio- let, but it will prove ever so good- looking in black for general wear. Just below this mode! the bat shown Is of gray velvet, for gray as a mil- Unery color is high style for fall. The velvet is in this instance handstitched and the crown and brim are made on a stiff wired crinoline frame—a very new and significant move In the realm of millinery, for it has been many a day since hats were worked on a foundation. We forgot to men- tion that the little violet velvet hat above described is also done over a frame. ‘The wee toque at the top to the right Is conjured of velvet which ts stitehed to form a checkered effect. By the way, milliners are doing all sorts of fancy stunts with velvet this season in the way of stitching, tuck- ing, shirring and such. ‘And now we come to the concluding number in this group—a velvet sail- or, than which there Is no more im: portant type forespoken for the com ing months, ‘The model shown Is a very conservative one.

As stated in our issue of Aug. 13, 32, with the issue of Aug. 20, '32, ‘The Gazette entered upon its fiftieth year of continuous publication, every week on time. This paper made its first appearance, Aug. 25, 1863, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the com- pany and ever since the burden of and. responsibility for the publica- tion of The Gazette have rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of ccinmon knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, espe- cially to the loyal of the race wher- ever they may be. As a direct re- sult of the efforts of ‘The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious “Black Laws” of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence act or Anti- Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. ‘This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and pro- pect jour poems, aptioniy in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and “turned back” the “jim- crow Negro” who is a more treacher- ous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than auy other enemy of the race. Indeed, “The Old Re- Hable” Gazette has stood out in the open all of its years of life like a “beacon light, fearless and unafraid, [never faltering and always deter- [mined. “What it has done in hun- dreds of other instances to help, de- |fend and encourage our people along all Hines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a mat- ter of general knowledge thruout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, ‘national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. " Personal and business in- terests have always been subordi- nated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in sea- son and out, has been to accept noth- ing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without refer- ence to class (race) or color, are en- titled to. When it comes’ to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, un- alterably opposed to any “doctrine of surrender,” or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached, in this day and time, by “jim-erow Negroes” and their fool-prejudiced white mas- ters. The Gazette believes in de- manding for our people, in this sec- tion of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ADD that 1s due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thra all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recom- mendations for continued and great- ¢r support, and we respectfully ask it. “To our faithful following of the past forty-nine years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appre- ciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask’ of all our read- ers, at this time, and that is that they urge thetr friends and acquaint- ances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable” Gazette and in. this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For ail you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C.
