Dan Thompson is terribly dissatisfied and becoming worse all the time. He says he doesn't like Missouri near so well as something like three months ago.

Will Moore has hardly decided what girl he likes best. We think where the trouble is - is that he "'likes 'em all"', and can't go without two at a time. But Willie Marshall says if he is a Socialist, to practice what he preaches and divide. Let him have one girl. "'Luck to you both"'.
