The editor of Conrad’s disruptor column was in error last week as he claimed the Conrad correspondence to the Chateau Acath a had best served.

The writer asserts the correspondent has the intelligence to write items correctly and urges readers not to censor news from that source.

The Farmington column reports steam plows sidelined by bad weather but expected to resume soon. It notes residents W. J. Landsverk and J. J. Gronberg returning home, P. O.
