Henn theater manager Jim Mc- e
Combs, in an ambitions mood last
week, decided to do a little extra ad- ^
vertising for his film, "If You Could

street he went painting it on the side- y
walk. h
And doesn't know until yet that he t
once picked the front door of the
Murphy Cafe for his speil. v

One of our prominent men the a
other day said it must be the weather,
but for some reason he couldn't even
sleep in church anymore. We *
don't like to give this fellow away
but both his names are synonamous 3
with a poet's conception of a plain a
old cow pasture, the first one rhy- t(
mes with "Jail" and he works for his f
father-in-law in his father-in-law's JJ
department store. So there. '*

Our dream almost came true the
other day. Fo: a long time we have ^
herished the thought of what would ^
happen if a fire alarm was turned in ^
at noon on Monday when they give ^
the fire whistle its weekly work-out. P
An alarm came in Monday at 11:47. ^
Darn the luck. .
Fred Beatty the other day said he !
guessed in the olden days women '
must have laid eggs. Else there 1

Don Gentry's two-months-old boy '
set the house on fire the other day. 1
He was smoking a cigar in bed and |
when his mother refused to hand '
him an ash tray, he just knocked the
ashes off in the covers of the crib. <
It soonds kind of goofy to us, but !
Don said so himself. Wonder if he '
cried when they wouldn't give him a '
bottle of beer to put it out with?
We still laugh out loud every time 3

in the middle of the highway. Any- v
how a couple of months later one of X
them decided to find out about it. 3)
He went back to the scene of the
wreck and asked a bystander if he Y
knew where a pole was that a bunch &
of boys had knocked down several A
months ago. E3. . . :

y. "And if I ever ketch 'em I'll A
knock their dad.blamcd ears off. It y
was in my backyard!" $
And, of course, that brings to mind
the boy who was so unfortunate as to X
drop off to sleep in the cafe. His y
buddies piled about 40 beer bottles X
around the table and then called Fred Y
Johnson. That was over a year ago
and the poor devil hasn't been able X
to act sober yet.
