PERSONALS
i
For the fjret time in our-life, we
have heard pf a nan wiitlng mash
note , in the sign language. j
The last week's. cr,op of gossip hasj
been especially entertaining. j
The most strilc'ri rninf olionf Vio '
-joke was that it was published in a
Stockholm ncwspr.por. This nay
be taken as an indication that prohi
bition has hit Sweden, or it may be
taken simply as another evidence of
the fact that humor knows no race
lines. .
However, if there's no booze left in
Sweden, why do the Swedes stay
there ?
Three men in a Buick and three
women stuck in the mud Saturday i
nignt. une ot the men get out and
pushed the two other men saved
their breath and kept their shoes dry.
What would you do, brother, if you
had been driving?
The world lost something when Al
Gavin decided not to give that speech
Friday evening. ,
There ougkt to be some family in
Alliance that would be willing to give
employment td the wife ofan injured
soldier, who is willing to work for al
most nothing in order to keep her
four-months-old baby with her and be
rear her husband. Two years ago
there wouldn't have been any question
about it. .There are still some of thrt
kind of people left.
Today's Best Story.
Astonishing how ', men lose their
heads sometimes. A candidate at one
of the by-electiona was canvassing a
young mother who evidently expected
him to caress her infant. He did so,,
gingerly. j
"And how old is it?" he asked.
'Three months, sir!''
"Aw aw and is it ' your young
est?" Eve (London.) .
Today's Second Best.
Lady You say your father was in
jured in an explosion?, How did it
happen?
Child wen, mother says it was too
much yeast,. but father says it wa3
too little sugar.
AinVThis Appetizing?
Tobacco planters have to contend
with the large tobacco worm which en
tirely destroys the plant if they are
not removed ' The niggers who work
in the tobacco fields go over the plants
every day in search of these worms.
They take a vessel or can of some kind
and brush the worm into the can just
as we sometimes get after the potato
bugs. And they have to be quick
green thing, gets very angry when
molested, and spits tobacco juice all
over the plants , and thus the plant is
destroyed or badly damaged. Now if
you happen to get hold of Eome to
bacco that doesn't taste good, you can
figure that the nigger didn't get the
worm quick enough. - f
Household Hints.
Cooking sherry will last longer if

Spaghetti should not be cookeU too

Honey may be used for sweetening
almost anything but a traffic cop.
- A cold bath will be found more
pleasant if made with hot water.
Photographs will Veep the home

fhow hubby with a California bathing
beauty. .
It Comes On In the Spring.
This letter was ' picked up on the
street the other day at least that's
what they tell us:
"Dear Mame: What you asked me
about did I love Chat lie, well dear it's
this way. I'm afraid if I don't take
him I'll be Borry, and if I do I'll re
great it, because I can't live without
him any more than I expect I'll be
ab'e to live with him. It's just so ex
citing being miserable until I'm happy,
that if I ain't in love with him I mieht
as well find it out one way as another,
find so we're going to get married if I
don't change my mind, and if I do; the
Lord have mercy on my soul, Mame,
becaftse he's an awful lemon if he has

and they tell me it's just perfectly
natural, like the measles.
