Just as the larger of the two be gan to get a half nelson on the smaller one, up steps Mr. Jordon— says he break it up, break it up I say. Good old Polly. One of the large girls complains that she got bit on the cheek,—the large one. From where I was standing, the little one wasn’t tall enough to reach her cheek with her teeth. What puzzles everyone who saw the scrap is wondering where Pol ly got the lipstick on his cheeks and lips or did Polly do the Mayhem.— Something funny somewhere. Oh yes, the girls started about whose hair the other girl was wearing. The tall one accused the little one of buying or borrowing the hair, she was wearing. Sounds kinder funny, eh! Borrowing hair—one never knows, does one—funny old world!! SAY YOU FELLOWS— You must buy some ciggies. Some time you almost got caught kidnap ping that man’s package Saturday night. I know if he had caught you—you was only joking, which you were joking. Are you ashame to pull out that granger twist. Af ter all, it’s yours if you like Grang er that's your business. But I ad mit it’s rather strong to roll into a fag specially at the Blueroom. I ain’t telling who you are at this time, but when I come down where you work, you must buy me a Coca Cola or give me one on the House. Lee Washington is my friend. He doesn’t mind. 1 will be down be tween 10:30 a. m. and 2:30 p. m. Now remember 1 will expose you if you don’t. Your friend—RBS. OPEN CONFESSION— Dearest Helen:— I won’t be able to come over Sun day as I have to allow sohrty a chance and I have to play Shorty ; awhile. Hope you don’t feel hurt but above all Shorty must be tak en care of at 'ill times. Lovingly yours, Paul. This letter was written by one of our local boys. But you mustn’t leave such important stuff lying a round kid! May be one of your other flames might night like it or may get the wrong idea—of course I know you were only foolin’ when you mention Shorty, because you are the only one—maybe .

More than three million acres of farm land must be cultivated each year to raise tha billions of pounds of barley, corn, rice and hops for which brewers pay approximately $100,000,000 annually. In 1939 alone nearly four billion pounds of these products were used to make the 55,191,103 barrels of beer, which the United States Bu reau of Internal Revenue reports were produced last year. These are among the develop ments recorded by the United Brewers Industrial Foundation In Its annual survey of the brewing Industry. The past year also witnessed rapid expansion of the industry’s program of active cooperation with local law enforcement officials to at the end of this year. Although active in civic affairs and prominent in the legal frater nity of the city and state since his graduation in 1907 from the college of law, Creighton University, Mr. Leary never before has been a can didate for public office. Since 1913 he has been legal counsel for the Omaha Catholic diocese and in 1931 the rank of Knight, Order of St. Gregory, was conferred upon him by Pope Pius XI for "outstand ■■■■ ... .. ■ ' ...... —- ..-I eliminate anti • social cona'tions wherever they may surround the sale of beer. The number of states in which Industry committees dedi cated to this purpose are in opera tion increased from one to nine. Similar programs are to be in stalled in additional states during the coming year. Direct taxes collected on the 1939 sale of beer totaled $411,596,780 and averaged $7.80 per barrel on the 52,768,818 barrels withdrawn for sale. This revenue is ear-marked for old age pensions, educational institutions, public health, aids to agriculture and other special pur poses In many states and munici palities. The remainder. Including the Federal Government’s share of $267,642,983, is allocated to general expense funds.

His election to suc ceed Mr. Burkley on the Board was highly commended by members of the bar and business and profession al men of the city. Linn P. Campbell, 61, president since 1934 of Byron Reed Company, pioneer Omaha real estate firm with which he has been actively connected for 35 years, is a repub lican and was elected by unani mous choice of the board last Sept ember to succeed H. Malcolm Bald rige, appointed legal counsel for the district. In November, Mr. Camp bell also was elected a director of the United States National Bank. A resident of Omaha since 1900 and a graduate of Omaha’s public schools, Mr. Campbell’s long asso ciation with the business life of the city and his deep interest in civic activities, particularly qualify him for useful service on the Metropol itan Utlities District board. As is the case with Mr. Leary, this is al so his first time to be a candidate BIRMINGHAM. MEMPHIS HAVE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF NEGROES IN TOTAL POPULATION Birmingham, Alabama, and Mem phis, Tennessee, had the largest percentage of Negro population in 1930, according to the Census of that year. Both had slightly more than 38 percent. Whether or not the 1940 census, which will start April 1, will show other cities with larger prportions is a question that will not be settled until the results are announced late this year. for election to public office. He is a member of the First Presbyter ian Church and the Masonic order. One republican and one demo cratic member is elected every two years to the Utilities board.

Here’s one that usually fills all three requirements when the easy directions are followed. It’s an all vegetable product whose principal ingredient has medical recognition as an “intestinal tonic-laxative.” That s the ingredient which en ables BLACK-DRAUGHT to help tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the main reason for the satisfying re lief from constipation that gener ally follows next morning when BLACK -DRAUGHT is taken at bedtime. The millions of packag es used are proof of its merit.
