Librarian Coleman doesn't quite know what to do about if, but if the vandalism and thievery contin- ues — well, prosecutions will just have to be started.

Miss Coleman said she wished pa- trons would be more considerate. e, REAL PAGO RED Wine $1.25 per gallon. Bring your|( adv, jug. TOTEM GROCERY.
