If it wasnt for the patients, doctoring
would be abvat the best job
a young man could look for, I
should think.
There was an eye doctor that had
a nervous old man for a pntient
' one day. The patient wanted new
glasses, and said he was having a
lot of trouble with his eyes. He
spent a half hour telling the doe
. about his eyes and how Inconvenient
they were to him. So finally
' the doc got him sat down in the
chair where they test them and
got his old glasSss put away, and
then the occulist says to him:
"Now, just read aa much aa yew
can on Quit card ever there on
the wall, please."
The man got awful mad. "I
thought I told you my eyes wasn't
very good!" he says. "Maybe 1
i didn't make It clear to you- My eye,
sight la bad. I don't read only when
I have to. I got eye-trouble. Bee?
Now, don't Josh me any mora about
it, or I'll bust you on the noao."

the singing of "America.
During a most delectablV dinner
music was furnished by Miss Doro
thy Carson which added much joy
to the occasion.
The President of the local Club
\V. E. Blhkely, welcomed the guesta
and Mrs. Moffett A. Ware respond
ed. both the welcome and response
were gracious and cordial.

congratulations and thanks of those
present for securing such, a delightful
speaker.
He used as his subject, "Merrily

tag all sing some familiar songs. As
he saug well and could accompany
the singing on an Accordion, he
added much zest' to the program.
The speech was filled with gOod
advice and much everyday common
sense necessary in daily living with
others; but given in a most amazingly,
witty and impressive way.
The listeners were convulsed in
laughter from first to last.
His advice to the Kiwanluns was
to show their loyalty to t'? >lr organ
izatlon in other ways thaa by just
wearing the Kiwanls pin. As time is
so quickly passing they should do
something as Klwanlans and do it
quickly aa Merrily They Roll Along.
He also said they mast be big men,

But Washington Is sure that whatever

One school thought holds that
strikes will ease off in thd near future,
apparently taking heart from,
the early efforts of the new Medna-'

there will he a decided increase.
