Most of the con tents are familiar to all from childhood, but since it deals in material from all sections of the country there are plenty of new tales, too. Listen to this one called “Dat Wasn’t Hot”: “It sho’ is gittin’ hot. Ah’ll be glad when we git to de lake so ah kin find myself some shade.” “Man, youse two miles from dat lake yit, and otherwise it ain’t hot today,” said Joe Wiley. “He ain’t seen it hot, is he, Will House?” “Naw, Joe, when me and you was hoboing down in Texas it was so hot till we saw stumps and logs crawlin’ off in de shade.” Eugene Oliver said, “Aw, dat wasn’t hot. Ah seen it, so hot till two cakes of ice left the ice bouse and went down the street and fainted.” Arthur Hopkins put in: “Ah knowed two men who went to Tampa all dressed up in new blue serge suits, an’ it was so hot dat when de train pulled into Tampa two blue suits got off de train. De men had done melted out of ’em.'1 Will House said, “Dat wasn’t hot, Dat was chilly weather. Me and Joe Wiley went fishin’ an’ it was so hot dat before we got to de water, we met de fish, cornin’ swimmin’ up de road in dust.” “Dat’s a fact, too,” added Joe Wiley. “Ah remember dat day well. It was so hot dat Ah struck a match to light mah pipe an’ set de lake afire. Burnt half of it, den took de water dat was left and put out de fire.” Joe Willard said, “Hush, don’t Ah hear a noise?” Eugene and Cliffert shouted to gether, “Yeah—went down to the river— Heard a mighty racket Nothing but de bullfrog Pullin’ off his jacket!” According to those standards we are having quite chilly weather, or have things been happening around here, too, ‘‘dat’s de truth”? PERHAPS YOU RECALL WHAT Mrs. Martha E. Truman, 92-year old mother of President Truman, said to her son as he was leaving Kansas City for Washington, D. C. It ought to make her eligible for the title of the typical American mother. She said: “Now, you be a a good boy, Harry.” This should be somewhat con soling to youngsters who feel quite adult and writhe when their moth ers say “Be good.” Remember that even the President of the United j States will always be a little boy ; to his mamma. A HUGE, ENTHUSIASTIC speech of congratulation is due j again to the women of Shelby who ' knuckled down to this sewing which the Red Cross is now com pleting. In this hot weather many find thinking of others rather dif ficult or at least find such thought cut to a minimum. Those who have made kit bags, utility bags, and in fants slips during this time when so many are taking vacations or are “doing well to keep cool” have j received little praise. Let them be ; sure, however, that the men and j children who use those articles will be deeply grateful for them. What greater reward can there be? “It is not wisdom to be only wise, And on the inner vision close the eyes, But it is wisdom to believe the heart.” Sfl.nfflvnnct CASAR FOLK HAVE VISITORS CASAR.—S. 1/c Sam Denton of Little Creek, Va., spent the week end with his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Horace Denton.
