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?" i Or thisTwoman? 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 on the wall is indecent,- observes the Riff Raff editor of the Scottsbluff News. That lad has been around, ap parently. YOU TELL 'EM, DOC. 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."

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.

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.

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 ing. S. J. EPLER, Minister. This is til aire of condensation in news. The prize goes to the Fort Col- lins, ColCourier, which in very few. wards has conveyed the whole idea: I Sheriff Morse mado ' a business trip to Canon City Satur day. The sheriff returned.' OLE BUCK SAYS: If you feel flattered when you are appointed on a committee you are still young. I am willing to accept, turkeys on subscription; also elephants and gaso line and sliced plug smoking tobacco. This is no time for dignity. A doctor offered to cure all my ail ments for $500, but an undertaker un derbid him, so the family wants him to have the jod. Ole is the man who proposed, in lieu of a gasoline tax, a tax on cuss words. Think of a newspaper man who wants the members of his profes sion to pay all the spate's running expenses. The editor of a certain newspaper men's magazine is cogitating in his spare time over such important ques tions as this: "Take the dot on the i, for instance. Why was it put there, and when, and by whom?" After he finds out the whole truth he can tackle that age-old puzzler: Who killed Cock Robin? The Random Shots editor hereby humbly makes the amende honorable to Leo Uoyd and Gatenby, whom we are quite ready to crown with the laurel and proclaim passable poets. 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 away Because they were making booze every day- METHODIST CHURCH. 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. 4 !
