The women of Ireland have organ ised to combat what they call the gladneck." Uladneck Is not, as an Amateur would suppose, some kind Ct a disease.

The boat thing that has happened this wek Is the marriage and sub sequent disappearance from the front page of Emily Knowka and the Spikers. What gets us Is why the newspa pers insisted on calling Emily prrt ty, when her pictures say only too plainly that somebody lied. Today's best story: A young fellow who was off on a jaunt out west, fell Into hard luck and had to pawn one of his suits. Just before starting home he man aged to get It out again. When he reached home his mother, while un packing his trunk, came across the Cpat with the pawnbroker's tag on It. "John," she inquired, "what Is this tag on your coat?" John, not wishing to have his mother know of his temporary em barrassment, said: "Oh, I was at a dance and checked my coat." Soon she came across the trousers with the same kind of a tag on them. "John," she demanded, "what kind of a dance was that?" It's a dull week. We haven't heard any new scandal, and we're feeling too lazy to Invent any. If we wanted to exercise our Im agination, we could fill this collyum chuck full of spice. All we have to do is to say that a married man with a fancy vest was seen dusting off his coattalls in front of a handsome residence on Blister street. Then our readers could fill In the details to suit any married man of their acquaintance whom they had a grudge against. seven six-pound packages of sugar on his kitchen table. i Oddly enough, there were seven grocers In town. No need to say this wasn't Alli ance. After a storm like yesterday's there isn't anything that hasn't some sand in It. I Our barber says that yesterday's storm was a "Mexican blizzard." What do you suppose he meant? Sheriff Miller says that his match box may be dipped Into fer accommo-1 datlon, but hereafter any man who' takes half the box is going to be thrown Into Jail. As we remember it, the Initials of the last man who offended In this way were B. B, To save misunderstanding, we'll j have to explain that he was referring to Bill Becker. If the sheriff cuts him off Bill's welcome to use our match box. Of course,' it's empty right now, but some of these days we expect to get In a new shipment. I We've discovered a place where we can buy matches for 6 cents a box on Saturdays only, and we're going to try to struggle along until that days rolls around. If it were nearer election day, the sheriff wouldn't care. i Or we could write about a myth ical auto ride, with the side curtains up. The Bide curtains might be up simply to keep out the cold air, but if the paragraph were written in the right vein, no one would question for a minute but that another tri angular love affair was on. ; The Methodist church at Sidney runs motion pictures each Sunday evening. We'll gamble if one You remember the story of the man who advertised that a certain grocer name not mentioned had sold him sanded sugar. He went on to say that if the grocer didn't make good within twenty-four hours, he'd be exposed. A local merchant a few days ago had stopped to say a word or two to a stray dog on the stdeet, who was f wagging his tail In a clumsy effort to be friendly. A lady of his acquain tance aproached and asked the mer chant If he liked dogs, and naturally he replied In the affirmative and countered with the same question. The lady answered: "Oh, yes, Indeed, I like dogs and cats a great deal but I haven't much use for people." The man's surprise was evidently written all over his face, because the woman vindicated herself by asking: "Were you ever a census enumerator." i Anything will look good after McKelvie.

Secor at a Tractor demonstration held recently in Columbus, Ohio, open to all the world "Twelve-twenty OilPull has broken all records for kerosene or gasoline trac tors to date. Kerosene used per horsepower hour was point five eight of a pound, costing one and four-tenths cents. ." This victory comes as additional laurels. Since 1912 the World's Record has been held by the 30-60 liumley OilPull. This year the smaller brother takes the record. ACTUALLY. THEN, THE OILPULL WINS FROM ' ITSELF. Proves Oil Pull Superiority Conclusively The nearest competitor burning gasoline was only 50 per cent as efficient as the Rumley OilPull, while the nearest kerosene-burning competitor was 20 per cent less efficient. The results from these actual tests and no tractor was barred from entry proves beyond a doubt that RUMLEY OILPULL SUPERIORITY is REAL. Put Your Order in Now More and more you have seen the horse replaced by his steel brother and you' have seen only the commencement.
