th a t the flag is the symbol of op

G. R. ELLIS FOR SCHOOL BOARD
G. R. Ellis is being frequently
spoken of as a school director. Mr.
Ellis is an honorable, respectable
man of ability and certainly would
make an excellent director. Mr. E l

compainies in different capacities
and should be extrem ely well quali
