A. DATES, SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 An afternoon bridge often covers a stream of gossip. :o:- Who is wondering whether this is about time for the fall rains to set in. -:o:- Who can remember when some na- tion's "strong man" meant a hefty brute in place of a dictator. :o'. Probably Mr. Coolidge never sus pected that one simple word could have so many different meanings. :o- Now that Skeezix has been restor ed to Uncle Walt, it is about time for the country to return to nor malcy. :o: : Napoleon said an army fights on its stomach. But Mr. Dempsey won by fighting on the stomach of Mr. Sharkey. :o: Speaking of the Republican nom inee the majority of experts are agreed that the Democrats will nom inate Smith. :o: What is needed in, the American League is a plan to flag the Yan kees, "flag" in this case not mean-' ing a pennant. :o: The new commissioner proposes to make prohibition pay for itself. A lot of bootleggers are already doing Just that little thing. ! j The royal government of Rumania must be pretty expensive now, what with King Michael outgrowing a , crown every year or so.. :o: Chieasro beinsr that way. she prob- ably boasts that her mayor is one public official whose opinion on any question need never be asked. :o: The old-time Californian was a forty-niner, and after reading the Hollywood casuality lists,' we con clude the modern one is a forty-fiver. :o: Some people are that way natural ly and others want to know if you have been away when you return to the office after the annual vaca tion. A German astronomer and aviator is planning a "rocket ship" to cress the Atlantic in two hours. The pas sage may be all right, but how about landing? :o: Marion Talley of Kansas City, Met ropolitan opera prima donna, is plan ning to purchase a summer home in Broadmoor, the fashionable suburb of Colorado Springs. . to: It seems that in Congo, American periodicals are traded for eggs, and we can think cf several publications which ought to be worth at least a dozen if properly aged . :o: From our close reading we learn that the nomination of at least five Republican possibilities is inevitable, and, as it is superflluous to point out, the inevitable always happens. :o: Having stated his faith in co-operative marketing, Henry Ford may now be said to have gone the whole distance in apologizing. All that is left unapologized is the peace trip to Europe. :o: Few people who get up to make a speech know when to sit down, and it usually takes a good swift kick in the shins from the master of cere monies to draw remarks to the ever-so-essential close. Authors have the same failing. Having character pro vides his or her creator with bread and butter and shoes for the babies the writer leans heavily upon the imaginary shoulder. Publisher PER YEAR IN ADVANC3 Who remembers the name of PauJ Revere's horse? Mocha coffee is the latest addition to the list of Colifornia-s asricul - tural products. .Q. Havana, Cuba, now claims to have 'some of the world's largest and most luxurious clubs. It's a good thing that pupils in I the school of experience are not made J to bring home report cards. -::- Just as. the Irish Government starts to function smoothly, some one suggests another election. :o: The portly person who persists in talking about the needs of the Mis sissippi valley is the Mayor of Chi cago. . Women in America spent ?75,000, 000 on hair marcels, trims, and shampoos last year. The barbers rule the waves. . :o: The only trouble with some of 'been wortn while to give up the sys these modern boxing bouts is that' tern at a money loss. That it has most of the action is furnished by meant a money gain simply bears the referee -:o:- In England they are planning a law to make it easier for war brides to get divorces. Some of thom must still be married. :o: Once upon a time there was a pro- hibitionist who did not think that prohibition will be the big issue in 192S, 1932, ' 1936, etc -:o:- "The last time I heard that mel- od3"," mused the old gentleman, as he listened to the popular song, "Bee- thovan had composed it. :o: Australia bought more American motorcycles last year than any other country, while Japan was next in number, and Sweden third. -:o: A committee has started a cam paign to protect the Irish from rid icu!1 on the stage and the screen. It seems they are two Irishmen. :o: That shake-up in the national pm- hibition enforcement personnel sug gests that there must have been a shake-down somewhere along the line. Who would have thought ten years ago that preserving the American ideals would include letting out a howl every time Dempsey put cn five ounce gloves. :o: A reward of $50 has been offered for those responsible for faise alarms in Washington. Haven't we been told all along it was the voters who were responsible? :o: Some expert'3 say that married women make better golfers than single women. Knowing what we know, we hazzard that golfers make better wives than those who know nothing of the game. :o: Senator Edge of New Jersey in tends to work for a Coolidge dele gation to the national convention unless convinced the president would refuse the nomination. An affidavit ought to convince Svmtm- Edg ; surely the New Jersey statesnu a will believe Mr. Coolidge on oath. :o: One of the romantic industries - f the upper Hudson River, which floi: -ished in the less hectic days of t'c last century and is now doomed i - pass forever as a human occupatic i, is the trade in what is called "Al bany beef." That "beef." as any ol! timer among the up-river men cj i tell, wasn't beef at all, but riv; r fish, the sturgeon. A REFORM THAT PAID Measured in cold "economic ad vantages'," the Iron Trade Review I finds that the eight-hour day in the steel industry has paid. At the time ; of the 1919 strike and for three years ! afterward Judge Gary and experts of the iron and steel institute pre sented pages of figures to show that ! the industry could not give up the ' 12-hour day or 24-hour shift. For i more than a year after President naming asKeu recontiueraiion ui me i issue, and after public opinion had -I . 1 1 1 . ! - 1 1. , decisively asserted itself, the steel corporation held out. Now we read that wages have held firm; that . stt'cl P,ices nave tended downward; - ' Bnd tl;at the ftf el corporation has i 1'mained astonishingly prosperous. "We read of "invisible" gains. Labor ' turnover has grown less and less. Men work better. Steel mill executives hold with the eight-hour day has that come greater employe efficiency. Whether this can be measured in dollars air! cents, of course, is not clear. It is Certain, however, that the increased efficiency of employes and the ap parent added contentment in the ranks of steel organizations have re sulted in economies in operation in many lines. This is quite apart from the social gain which President Harding had in view. He voiced the public condem nation of a system which held tens of thousands of immigrant workers in their shops, without time for Americanization or education and at great risk to health. It would have out the prediction oi far-sighted economists. -:o:- 0UR ZIPPY GRANDMAS A grandmother, standing blithely on the threshold of sixty years, has taken first prize for having the best pair of ankles among the summer visitors to Penobscot Bay, Me. A sparkling new vista of grandmotherly existence thus invites us. Who re members way back when grand mother, with a pair of spectacles and a ball cf yarn, was wont to sit upon her dignity in a corner of the domes tic hearth? Who remembers when we used to look upon grandma as a sort of sacred thing to her face though there were things about the creaky old girl that were just a little bit funny, too? All these news wrinkles grandma trading her ball of yarn for a dance program, and the like disclose very hopeful signs, very. There is no longer any need for whatever hypo critical reverence we once accorded her gray hairs. There is no longer any need of pitying her because she must sit en the sidelines and now has nop art in the race. No need of any further pampering of grand ma, if you please. She's getting around quite nicely by herself, thank you! Grandmother used to work hard. There was a day when grandma was glad to retire to the chimney corner; she was just "too blamed played out" to carry the burdens farther. Modern household devices have helped in this evolution of the ven erable lady. She in't tired at all any more. She craves action. Let's go. grandma! Slip on your glad rags and let's have a party, grandma is dead, long live grandma! RAILROADS AREN'T DEAD YET Over the highways of the United States passes a mighty procession of busses, trucks, and passenger auto mobiles 22,000,000 of them car rying people"nnd freight. It looks as if this mighty parade of transporta tion facilities ought to cut consid erably into raiiroad revenue. But don't weep for the railroads yet re ports of their slow death have been greatly exaggerated. Tons of freight and tons of freight mileage increased last year seven per cent over the previous year. Oper ating revenues increased 4.2 per cent; operating expenses 2.8 per cent. The neit operating income of all American roads last year was $1, 214,000 which was eight per cent more than in 1925. Consumption of coal is less, net tons of revenue freight greater, and car-miles have shown an increase. The railroads are still very much alive. :o: BUY NOW Will appreciate all my old friends and any new patrons planning what ! line, as I will be over the county to ! visit my friends and will be glad to serve them with the best in the nur- sery lines.

Of course, there was other circumstantial evi dence, during the past few thou sand years, that here in America we have moved faster, and farther, than has China. But now there is no fur ther doubt that Oriential region is far behind the procession of man kind's pageantry. A painful affair has happened. The other day a dainty, e'emure, doll-like damsel was riding in a ricksha along the street. A ricksha, tor the benefit of cur benighted and uninformed readers, is just the same as a Japan ese ginrichksha, without the gin. (No reflection intended here on the Volstead act.) Well, the ginre-beg pardon the ricksha' lipped over backward, because the man who was pulling it. stumbled. All rickshas tip over backward when the manipulator thereof lets go the handles. This is especially true if the occupant be a dainty, dovelike maiden rolled hos iery, etc, as was the case in this in stance. The pretty girl landed on her head, as her feet described a portion of the circumference of a circle, known to geoinetrists as an arc. Her skiits settled upward, that is toward her head, which, however, as already mention d. was down; and her round graceful knees were visible to any tourist, American mere man, who may have been passing by. This time exposure, phogoraphieally speaking, being contrary to the re cent edict of Marshal Sing Sang Song, the girl was haled into court and fined the equivalent of $10 or more in genuine American Saturday noon monej. Can you feature such a thing, while here in America, hundreds of chorus girls are making a living by showing no better knees (we speak from hearsay) than did this girl of the ricksha. It's enough to make Florenz Ziegfeld, the Follies man. disgusted. And another thing: There are only two men in this country that we know of pardon the final preposition- who would be adverse to mak ing the gin the ricksha, an Ameri can institution, in which the great American flapper might disport in glee, to her own satisfaction and that of the others. We refuse to name the two men. One is dead, the other one is blind. :o: GARY'S GOOD ADVICE The will of the late Elbert H. Gary concludes with some valuable advice to his heiis. The words might well be widely copied and their instruc tions followed. "Do not sign notes or bonds for anyone," was one of the suggestions. Another urged that "they refrain from anticipating their income in any respect." That they loan money only on good security and never make per sonal loans, was recommended. If involved in any doubt they should always reject the opinions of ethers. Gary expected that "they would be approached frequently with sug gestions for investments that are not entitled to be belief upon from a business standpoint." He cautioned them thus to be careful. They are good rules to follow. " :o: Believing that competition is the life of trade, we cherish little sym pathy for the fellow who is always trying to put his competitor out of business. However, the moonshiners who were running a still down in county in opposition to a camp meeting less than a mile away, deserve all that is coming to them.
