That change may or may not be observed by the present younger generation but it is quite noticeable in the eyes of the oldsters. There . is another change which might be noticeable to the older peo ple, and that is the diminishing of June bugs. Maybe that "is just an other economy of nature. Why should nature produce June bugs when there Is no longer a demand for June bugs. Instead of flying June bugs little boys are interested in Hying toy airplanes. 43 CENTS OUT of EVERY TAX DOLLAR and WORTH IT!
