Contagious Father (calling family doctor): "Doctor, my son has cholera, i and the worst part of it is that he admits he caught it from kiss | ing the maid." | Doctor: "Oh, well, young peo ! pie will do thoughtless things." i Father: "But, Doctor, to be quite frank, I kissed the girl my self." | Doctor: "That's too bad."

Slightly Behind A traveler one night found himself obliged to remain in a small town on account of a land slide on the railway, caused by ; heavy rain which was still fall | ing in torrents. The traveler turned to the waitress with: I "This certainly looks like the i flood." I "The what?" "The flood. You've read about j the flood, and the ark landing , on Mount Ararat, surely." I "Mister," she returned, "I have n't seen a paper for three days." ?Capper's Weekly | Taking No Chances "Smith," asked the restaurant manager to a waiter, "why did that man at table number five leave so suddenly?" "I don't know," replied the waiter. "He asked for sausages and I told we were all out of them, but if he would wait a | few minutes I'd get the cook to j make some. I went to the kitch-1 en, and as I set down a tray of j dishes, I stepped on the dog's j tail and v he yelped. When X came back into the dining room the man was dashing out of the front door." UNPAVED ROADS i Continued From Page One) I geators were seen around too. The i wet curtain over screen mesh aided by nature's breezes turned the trick. Folks these days with the REA wouldn't know about that though. We had biscuit making contests, button-hole making contests and learned how to lay a neat patch on the seat of a pair of overalls or darn a woolen dress so you could hardly see the repair. We studied textiles and laces, picked peaches, promoted land scaping and especially foundation planting of the houses which got a good start during my year and a half in the county. And chickens?don't let me forget to tell you about our poul-j triy?our cry was pure bred eggs for hatching and scientifically I built hen houses. Barred rocks, whiterocks and Rhode Island reds were our choice and we planted a dozen here and a dozen there? or was it fourteen? And we got the chickens down out of the trees into the hen house. We studied nutrition, especially and introduced the tea wagons for easier service. I feel we really got things going a little on the home management and conven ience in the kitchen idea. | We studied nuthition, especially school lunches packed at home. As for myseff I had a wonder ful time and found the people of the county most helpful and co operative and kind to me. I shall never forget them. I came in 1919 and stayed until May 1, 1921. My I Alma mater is Indiana State Col lege. During the war I studied [nursing in Baltimore where I met ;a former assistant to Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon who introduced me to her by mail. Mrs. McKimmon sent me to Columbus County. I 'was given one of the new cars .with a self-starter and I learned | to drive it the hard way?in the sand. I had three collisions dur ing my sojourn without injury to J myself, I'm thankful to say. I [lost my way several times and i was accused of speeding?35 miles .per hour. I had to get out and j wrap the wheels in burlap some times to get out of the mud. I could not keep some appointments because the roads were impass j able. I turned the car over in run ning condition to my successor, j If you don't believe this just .ask some of the old timers and Ithey will vouch for it all, and I dare say, tell you more.
