Citrus May Basket History May Repeat Itself By Fruit Gift The Dally Nebraskan has Just received a threatening letter from a man who signs his name "Earl E. May." The threatening line read, "One of these days the citrus will ar rive, and beware!"

(As if you didn't know.) But that, if course, is just silly supposition. Everybody on the Rag staff, anyway, knows that: 1. Earl E. May owns a profit able produce business In Shenan doah, Iowa. 2. His son goes to Nebraska university. 3 He sent the Dally Nebras kan staff a goodly amount of oranges - and grapefruit last spring.

He visited the offices Saturday morning when it was populated by five female workers and one male Nebraskan worker. The faces were new to him so he said little but upon re turning to Shenandoah he sat right down and wrote a letter to the Rag. Four things stand out in his epistle. He Stands Corrected. 1. From his hasty observation of the personnel of the Rag last Saturday morning he jumped to the conclusion that female work ers were in the majority. This is wrong. They aren't quite.
