One Alliance man is having a hard
lime explaining Just how he hap
pened to get a postcard from Chicago
Igned "Mabel."
Explanations onljr make It worse.
Sometimes the truth does sound
stronger than fiction.
Explain to us, please, why two
school teachers should decide on the
same day that there's no future In
the profession. .
We'll give you one,, guess as to
"What Alliance man the poet was re
ferring to when he set down these
lines:
""Because a few complacent years
Jlave made your peril of your pride,
Think you thajt you are to go on
Forever pampered and untried."
You win.
Ain't poetry expressive?
If one really wants to be offended,
most anything will serve as an excuse.
Be sure you're right before you go
Ahead.
More poker poetry:
33et high, though half your wad Is In
the pot,
Don't lose your nerve if openers
you've got,
Just shove them in as long as there
Is change,
Though we ain't here for long, our
coin remains.
Do you suppose the man who
wrote that ever played with our
wricked gamboliers?
What's happened to all those men
with the funny names?
Granted that every knock is a
boost, the average man really prefers
to be boosted some other way.
It now developes that cranberries,
as well as being a sure corn cure,
are an infallible remedy for head
ache. All you have to do, so our in
formant says, is to mash up half a
dozen and appy the Juice to the back
of the neck or the right eyebrow,
whichever seems most effective.
Sounds simple, doesn't it?
The 1920 leap year girl, so we are
Informed, is most diplomatic. Take
our advice, and watch out whenever
the conversation takes an unusual
turn.
The war showed the strategic ad
vantage of the unexpected attack.
This is the open season. If you
get hooked, don't say we didn't warn
you.
Any old excuse is good if you get
away with it. A California man beat
up his wife with a hammer a few
days ago, and when she had him up
In court, said that it was the effect
or some tonsil medicine he bad
taken. v
First tim, we ever heard whisky
called tonsil medicine.
It's principal use is for con
sumption.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Dont Depend
on Spring Deliveries
Spring deliveries of Ford cars have never been certain, and they should
not be depended upon. Demand has always been greater for Ford cars than
the supply or production. So, if you would bo sure of having a Ford car, ,
buy it now while deliveries arc possible. Don't wait even next month is an
uncertainty. . r
Only a limited, specified number of jars has been "allotted to this terri- "
tory. That allotment cannot be increased," because the demand all over the
country is greater than the supply or production. Get your order in now)
and you will be one of those who is sure of a Ford car out of our allotment.
