And he was wondrous wise, He swore by all the gods abrav" hr would not advertise But one day lie did break this rule. and thereby hangs a tale; The ad was set in real small type, and headed sheriff's sale. POOR MR. Hoovre!

That means its about time for the political pot to start boiling . . All the old puns even tually come back.

Hospitals should be grateful for such families as the Shelby Hugh Logan family, Of the ten in the family five have 1 already undergone appendicitis op erations .... Buck Hardin recalls that some years ago, during a fever epidemic in Shelby, one man who' was sick at home alone declared that once he got able to travel lie would “shake the dust of Shelby off his feet,’* because, he came very near dying here. And he did leave but camp back after four years ....

It's a contribution from the city charity fund and Is going to the family of some man who is on the chain gang, or to another needy home .... Mrs. George Hoyle’ grows English walnuts In Shelby . . | Most, of the college boys and girls' have already departed, yet. oddly j enough, the old home town is hob bling along better than was expect-1 cd with them away. THIS ONE; we've been informed really happened in Shelby, and inj one of the exclusive residential sec-1 tions where the residents still be lieve in having their own turnip patch. One . lady called up her neighbor., “How would you like to have a mess of turnip greens in the morning?" The lady lit the other end of the wire, for some reason. misunder stood. What she thought the lad' said was "How d you like to play a table of bridge in the morning?" "Fine, thank you," was her reply And it was not. until the next morning that they got the matter entirely straightened out. in i or,VI l court recently a con troversy developed over the method of determining when a man is drunk. Later one of those present recalled that « it. is hard to excel Samuel Mordecai's version of a .drunk as given in his Law Lectures. Here tis: Not drunk is he who from the floor Can rise again arid drink some more; But; drunk is he who prostrate lies Without the power to drink or rise. WITH THE schools open and the I youngsters preparing to write es says and compositions, an old school room joke is going the rounds. A teacher had been advising her pu pils not to attempt any fancy writ ing in their compositions. “Just, write what is in you.-’ he said. A few minutes later one boy in her room turned in the following com position: “I am writing just what is in me. I have got a hart, a liver, two lungs and a stumnnek. The stummick has got in it a pickle, two sticks of peppermint candy and a piece of pie.’’ ; And what could a teacher do about that?

In another fortnight well be putting grains of corn on numbers while waiting for the magic cry B-j-n-g-o • • • Another reason why there can t, be so much to this hard times chatter: good ’possum dogs are, not selling much cheaper about Shelby than they always have .... A cou ple of years ago Shelby got air minded and numerous boys started taking aviation lessons ., Nowadays one hears nothing about flying ex cept the gossip about the high-fly ing of the latest family to go in the hands of the receiver .... Hasn’t it been a dull day? Great Gosh! Waldron, Sask,—R L, Penny’s version is that imitation is flattery's sinccrest form, Mrs. R, L. Penny' says the affair proves that the fe male of the species is as deadly as the male. The Pennys were playing golf together. Mr. Penny, having the honor, made a hole in one.

A rrrtafli big corporation "up north" paid Its president a salary of $350,000.00 and a bonus of 81, 315,000.00 last year, and Incidental ly laid off about one-third of its employes for an Indefinite period! and permitted the remainder to! work only half time—on account of! its inability to make any money.; Bolshevism thrives oh practices like j unto that. What they should have done was: Turn oft that, president: and lake all that money and keep 3,000 mtn at work for 21 months: j l otion Letter. New York, Sept. 12.—Southern selling had a weakening effect, on September while November shorts l were absorbed by Bombay longs, j thus forcing the speculators to | straddle—with one foot in Wall Sr and the other foot In the Federal Reserve. Options were lower than; due in Liverpool on receipt of pri • rate reports frpm Texas intimating that it thundered last night. Much covering with new December was apparent when a boll weevil was dis-' covered in a turnip patch in Okla-■ homa by the farm board Awaiting' clearance—42,888 bales. Counting \ hay, hair and hides.

That, war a pretty dross though,-and I aid sure that she diddent have on any thing else, as the sun was shining. It was of flimsy materia), loose as a laundry bag everywhere except, at I he sleeves which did not exist, and had little cloth dangles dangling all around the bottom of the skirt. This dress was about 4 Inches Ginger in front than at the rear and the north side was I inches shorter than the South aide. Rut I broke only ! fender when I ran into that telephone post. Moral: Stop, look and listen when you meet a jane like that. Don’t risk trying to drive on down the street. Who Needs Whiskey* Why all this fuss and feathers about Whiskey? Every paper you pick up is filled with prohibition ami anti-prohibition stuff. Every magazine is loaded with what ‘wets' and "drys" have to say about the Volstead act.. We have a straw vote every how and then. What's It. all about, rtowhow? Let’s' see. I have been trying to find out who wants booze and why? I am anxious to ascertain just what plaee whiskey has In our present civiliza tion-—that- it must cause such a bal ly-bo loo year in and year out. Now. folks, t have been ‘inquiring around’ to get the facts, and here they are: T asked the president of the Last National bank what he thought of whiskey and he said that whiskey might be al right, but he wouldn't {keep a than In his employ that drank It even In a mild way. A met I chant told me t hat he eould not risk a drunk man in his business My preacher stated that he much preferred that none of Iris members would fourh whiskey, and the Su perintendent of our schools spoke out loud that he would not, keep a teacher a minute that used Intoxi cating beverages and he further in formed me that, all pupils who fool with whiskey would hr expelled without argument. Him cotton mill bosses intimated that it would be dangerous for a drunk mart to attempt to work In their mills The oil dealers swear that, they will discharge any truck driver that shows up drunk while on |duty. The city turns off policemen who drink, that .is the right kind of city docs. A bootlegger won't hire! an agent if he drinks. | The farm res don't care In feed tenants that get two sheets in thej Wind, much less three. A drunken j barber is not often allowed to work ■ : A sirec» car inotorman must lei .booze atone or hunt tip another lob Railroad presidents arc not, looking for booze fighters to run their trains and look after their road beds; Fathers and mothers don't, want I Largest Carillon in World The 22-ton Bourbon bell, whirls complete* the largest carillon in the world, belnf hoisted up the front of the new Riverside j Church, on Riverside Drive and 121st street, New York City.

So, folks, Td like to know what we need whiskey for if It hurts everything It touches, The stimng gun! .Two " bite birds glide, bow to bow, over the line. A perfect smt! And msy the best skipper, the best crew, the best bott win? One will always stand out / A BOOMING SALUTE for the skipper who first crosses the line! His victory is hard-won and deserved. No less deserving is Chester field’s popularity — here is one cigarette that never leaves the course of Milder . . . and Better Taste. MILDNESS—the wholly nat ural mildness of tobaccos that are without harshness or bitterness. BETTER TASTE—such as only a cigarette of wholesome purity and better tobaccos can have.
