Well, boys, it is like I've
alwavs said, after the 20th
of October, we can expect
any kind of weather. For
,he past two weeks thinsrs
have been mighty nice, but
Ihese mornings are getting
colder and colder and be
tween us, girls it is getting
harder to get up each morn
ing. Hut after getting up, it is
a problem to keep warm until
the sun gets up a ways. Any
how, that is not going to
worry me from now on.
cause 1 went to Ote Hurgin's
Bargain Basement Saturday
and bought me three pairs
of heavy underwear, a nice
sweater, and a pair of the
best boots in this neck of the
woods. And say, 1 got all
that stuff for lots less money
than you would imagine.
That new Bargain Base
ment is chock full of bar
gains. .1 know. .I've bought
some of 'em.
