AVe move to strike out from the
leather record all reference to the
frroundhog and his shadow. An Harry

relevant and immaterial, and not
shown that it took place in the pres

Dad writes: A physician warns that
it is very dangerous to throw off the

from that source.
DO YOU KNOWTHIS MAN?
A storekeeper noted for his laziness
was sitting reading one day when a
would-be customer entered.
"I want a pair of shoe laces" she
said.
"I am very sorrv. madam, said the
indolent man, "but would you mind
coming in again when I am standing
up?"

They were returning from a club
meeting and were discussing the so
cial hour that had followed the busi
ness session, when one of the ladies
remarked: "That Mrs. Bumptious is
positively the most ill bred person I
ever saw, she actually yawned three
limes while I was talking to her."
"Perhaps she wasn't yawning," sug
gested the other lady. "Maybe she was
only trying to say something."
In most instances the handwriting

The preacher was out on the links
and thought a small moral lesson
might not be amiss.
"I notice," he remarked mildly, "that
the players who get the lowest scores
are not thoe who swear."
"Why the hell should they?" snorted
the gloomy golfer as he dug up an
other slice of turf.
Old Man Weeks refers to a popular
make of car as a "worry wagon."

TODAY'S BEST STORY.
Two colored men were fighting and
an officer arrested both of them. In
4eing arraigned before the judge the
next morning the fellow who had the
vorst of the battle was told he was
charged with fighting. He said, "Judge,
I wasn't fighting. Dat nigger knocked
me down, kicked me, stamped on me

didn't let me up, jest kept beatin me.
Say judge, I never got so tired of a
man in all my life.

YESTERDAY'S BEST STORY.
' An elderly man was1 persuaded by
one of his sons to go with him to a
boxing exhibition.
The son paid for two $2 seats.
"Now, dad," said the son joyfully,

$2 than you've ever seen in your life
before." . ' I

paid for my marriage license.
The boys say, "If you will give Uf
three dollars a day
We will stay, as it beats making hay
on a rainy day.
Or sorting potatoes every day."
Alliance had better get an X-ray.
And next election day, the boys say,
All off, you officers will go on the
farm to stay
Till the next election day
Which Is very, very far away.
So take my advice and throw the jail
keys away.
But it might be possible to stay
If you officers would get down on
your knees and pray
That you might be elected again next
election day,
As we are making hooch night and
day.
If you will only stay awav
Till the first of May, we will be 0. K.
We will be in Alliance every other
day
To sell our booch and get our pay.
We can't say how long we will stay,
So plea?e keep the booze hounds
away.
Till next New Years Day.
Now if you dont like our booze just
stay away
And we will be millionaires by New
Years Day.
And so when you read this, hang it up
on a na.il.
If you don't like our wine,
We don't pay our fine,
So we will lay it out in jail
And cat out of your dinner pail.
You can bring us our mail ?o we
won't get stale
While we are in the county jail.
Married men may have better halves
but it's equally true, according to Ed

The services on Sunday were well
attended and it was a great day which
we spent together in worship and
praise and edification. Judge Tash's
address to the minister's class of In
termediate boys was well received as
was his address to the entire school.
This will be a regular feature for some
time to come to have someone address
this class at least once a month. Forty
boys were present to help make the
245 who were in the entire Bible
school. Some time we will put on a real
Rally Day and see how many we can
accommodate in the Bible school.
It is not often that we sidetrack
the mid-week prayer meeting for other
meetings, but this week on Wednesday
evening at 7:30 a "Get-together So
cial" is planned for parents and friends
to get acquainted. You are invited to
be present and have a good time. We
are hoping for good weather so that
many can eome and enjoy the good
time. Fthers, mothers, older brothers
and sisters we shall be happy to greet
you at the church on Wednesday even

Ole is the man who proposed, in

The editor of a certain newspaper
men's magazine is cogitating in his

tackle that age-old puzzler: Who killed
Cock Robin?

There was a time when we thought
they were so rotten that comparison
was out of the question. Our convic
tions on this point were a trifle shaken
when Doc Peet entered the lists, for
Doc is worse than either of 'em. And
now, unless Doc has removed to Hem
ingford, there is a new entrant for the
consolation prize. The Hemingford
Ledger published it, under the heading,
"A New Year's Surprise,' and that is as
good a name as any. We haven't the
heart to give it complete, but the fol
lowing samples, taken at random show
how much damage was inflicted on the
Ledger's readers. Close your eyes
and read:
"The booze hounds have come to stay.
The sheriff comes up New Years Day
And takes the Hemingford boys

Because they were making booze

A crowded house enjoyed the musi
cal program by the large chorus choir
Sunday night. The loose collection
amounted to nearly $15, which will be
used to start a song book fund.
Judge Paine addressed the Sunday
school for a few moments Sunday
morning. No speaker who has ever
visited our school in recent years has
been more enthusiastically received,
nor better appreciated. We cons'der
Judge Paine a really great speaker.
Wednesday afternoon the Woman's
home missionary society will meet
with Mrs. R. M.' Hampton.
Thursday evening the choir meets
with Mrs. Dunning.
Next Sunday night the pastor will
begin a series of carefully prepared
sermons on the subject of "The
Dance. lhe first of these will be
"Why the Dance is Wrong." We espe
cially invite all young people and par
ents of children or young people to at
tend thi3 series of sermons. We be
lieve the dance to be responsible for
the corruption of our modem social
life more than any other influence, and
in these Sunday night sermons, will
prove our contention.
M. C. SMITH, Pastor.
" BAPTIST CHURCH.
Sunday was in several respects a
red letter day. The highest attendance
at Bible school, and two large
audiences at the main services, with
the evening filling the building, when
the fire boys came out in a body. They
seem to appreciate the music and
songs. The orchestra accompanying all
the songs is a great improvement, and
folks were not slow about expressing
their joy.
Each family who can is asked to
donate a primary chair to the little
tots, they cost a little over $1.50, but
one dollar and a half will donate them
one chair. Come prepared to buy them
a chair.' We have three dozen chairs,
and nearly every one of the new ones
was filled last Sunday. Each class is
asked to buy one chair. Two classes
may go together and buy one. In this
way we hope to pay for eighteen of
them and the others to be paid out of
the Sunday school treasury.
The regular business meeting of the
church will be held Wednesday even
ing preceding prayer meeting. Let a
good attendance be there. The pastor's
femily has made a present to the
church of the orchestrations of the
Hymnal which the orchestra is using.
A special life service sermon is in
preparation and perhaps will be deliv
ered next Sunday morning. A special
Lincoln birthday lecture will be deliv
ered Sunday evening with patriotic
B4 ngs as special features.
Plans for the spring evangelistic
services are being formed and will
soon be placed before the church for
action.
B. J. MINORT, Pastor.
