So far as the Croix de Feu is -concerned, the leader, Col. de la Rocque, two days previously took the precaution of legalising its position by declaring it henceforth to be a political association.

1914 Model Favoured For Showing Off A Horse
Ardmore, Oklahoma. This town's Main Street was startled recently out of the machine age when a local hardware dealer delivered to a one-sected, cut- customer a away buggy, thereby record- ing the first buggy sale here in 16 years!
There was a time when the hardware store here in Indiaa Territory days sold a carload of buggies each month. The one just sold was the last of the stock from "the good old days." It has been patiently waiting these 16 years for Walter Gant, Ardmore horse fancier, to decide that to show off a good horse there is no setting quite like a one-seated; cut-away buggy, modelled in

This would not necessarily in- Įvolve the abandonment of Juba as! a port of call on the main route, for it could be served by smaller craft, but there might be a di- culty in the way of an early fulfil- ment of the projected speeding-up of the service to South Africa.
