NO DOUBT ICE CREAM CONES WILL BE BANNED.

Anyone wishing to visit a graveyard on July 4th need go no further than Rensselaer, for the town on Independence day will be deader than the guy who jumped off the Woolworth building. Lots of towns with far less facilities for entertaining than our own towkare going to celebrate, in other words they are going to show that the last breath of life has not left their bodies. What Rensselaer needs is a thorough ren- . ovation, a little high life instilled in'to her. She’s in a trance, taking everything as a matter of course, foli lowing the path of least resistance ■ and what moving along she does is because she’s in someone’s way who is in a hurry. A tonic is needed and I it is time for all of us to get some progressive ideas in our heads instead of using them for a parking place for sneezes altogether.
