THE ANSWER to the little con*
undrum we rtn a week or so ago
isn't so tough. Several persons work
ed it out. The idea was to get seven
gallons measured by using only an
eight and a five gallon measure.
This is how to do it:
Fill the five and pour in the eight, j
Fill five again and fill the eight.
POur out the eight.

OVERHEARD after court adjourn
ment the other day: two prisoners
talking before being led off to jail
Said one: "I’m mighty glad I did
not get me a lawyer. Why. I got
off with six irfonths. If I'd had one
of these here Shelby lawyers he’d
of talked me Into a year at least."
REV. J. L. JENKINS, president of
Rolling Springs college tells this
one on the Baptists. Two fellows
who were boyhood chums parted
and didn’t, meet again for years
One became a Baptist parson. Re
turning home. he met. his old
friend, who inquired as to his busi
ness.
“Why. I’ve joined the Army of
the Lord," said the first.
"What you mean?" said number
two.
"Why, I mean I’m a Baptist
preacher."
"Shucks." said the. friend; "you
atnt in the army—you joinad the
navy."
A LAST YEAR'S crop of un
gathered corn was seen in the field
of a farmer in the Double Springs
community on Sunday. Why this
corn was allowed to stay in the
field all winter has not been learn
ed. The farmer either has an abund
ance or believes that Mother Na
ture wraps the ears so securely in
waterproof shucks and that whan
the ear drops its head the corn is
as well protected as it would be
stored in a bin. Contrast this with
the information that Andrew Lat
timore. one time New Yorker by
adoption, who has returned to his
native county and to his first love,
farming, planted 135 acres of early
corn more than a week ago.
“IT WAS REALLY a very beau
tiful pantomlne, given with dignity
and, in my judgment, entirely ap
propriate to the church." This is
the appraisal of the so-called danc
ing maidens introduced in the First
Christian church at Columbus, Mo,
by the pastor, Dr. C. E. Lemmon. Ar
thur Brisbane called them "danc
ing maidens" and left the impres
sion that they were imitating, to
some extent, the much talked of
Sally Rand. Dr. Lemmon says it
was a "beautiful pantomine."
