brief for that church This Is not a Mormon paper i But we do recognize that members of or that church form torm forma I a large element clement in the tho community life and anti we protest protest against unfairness to them just Juet as 08 we would protest against n. n Uke like unfairness to an any other creed or company The exception hero Is a noteworthy one In view of ot th the baby act

because of or the lie attacks that list arc so constantly constantly con con- ma made e on them by the proprietor of at the storo store They do co not bu buy there because they thoy have havo any
