BARNEY GOOGLE
This is the story of Barney Goo
gle, who lived in potatoe row on
Ruth McGlee’s farm Route 4 South
Omaha.
Mrs. McGlee, who is Secretary to
Earl Frederiksen Safety Engineer
of the Metropolitan Utilities Dist
rict said that she grew a personal
ity potatoe patch.
Barney is the boss of the garden
This picture shows Barney Google
exactly as he was dresses, when a
brisk tug of Mrs. McGlee’s wrists
permitted him to extract himself
from entangling roots in potatoe
row so that he could travel out and
see the world.
"Barney is a wee bit bald and he
looks like a tough potatoe.” Said
Mrs. McGlee “He reallyy and truly
is’nt. “He is always kind and
thoughtful.” Should you wish to
pick your hoss in any AKSARBEN
race, all you need do is rub Bar
ney’s head three times with the
three fingers of your right hand,
if Barney takes a fancy to you:
You are in on the money- “Should
carney feel that you are not a con
vival spirit and not kind to Bull
Frogs and Angle Worms, feller you
are not just outside looking in and
a cold potatoe.
In case you want an Ernest Goo
gle in your home or his little sister
Gretchen. write or phone Mrs. Me
Glee and she will gid around in
potatoe row to see if they are at
home.
Barney sez, it is O. K. by him if
you want to play the ponies. Just
rub his head in the picture and
when you are fast asleep, you will
see your dream horse coming in at
the post first by a head- Be sure to
take a peek at the jockey,s number
in case you don’t quite remember
what your dream horse looks like,
otherwise when you go your bookie
you are just outa luck and your
pot of gold has gone with the rain
bow. Brother and Sister there is
just one little more hint. Be sure
not to snore, since nothing scares a
dream horse so much as a little
good loud snorting snore.

accused Thompson of trying to or

state. Herman’s verbal attack
came after Thompson’s call for a
State Democratic party convention
in Macon on April 30, for the pur
pose of ousting all Talmadgites
from key posts. A stannch Tal
madge supporter, James S. Peters
asserts that the Governor’s move
is to entice Negro votes. Herman
without authority to recognize the
party and therefore might be re
garded as setting up a ‘ rival par
ty group." “There can be but one
Democratic party in Georgia,’’

iv. i.—i have been inspired by
the way you answer other people’s
problems. I find it necessary to call
on you with mine. I am 18, have 2
children, a girl 18 months and a
boy 2 months. The boy’s father
has taken care of us for the past
year and he wants very much tj
marry me and be a father to these
children- We love each other. Here
i the drawback. He has a widowed
mother to support and I don’t want
him to mistreat her for us. His
mother is fond of us and thinks it
will be all right. What should I do
Ans: Marry the man. Your child
ren need a father and you need a
husband. It isn't necessary that
you inconvenience his mother at
all by joining him in marriage- You
understand his position and should
insist that he continue to provide
for her. His mother realizes his
love for you and knows he will
never be happy without you. She
is perfectly willing to share her
home with you as her son’s wife.
P. L.—I’ve been in the city a
month visiting my in-laws- They
are trying to coax me to open a
place of business here. I have oper
ated a very successful tea room
business for years and sold out
recently. I can see the possibilities
in this new location.
Advise me
Ans: Choose a likely sight for
your tea room and go back in bus
iness. You have reached the point
where the life of leisure you are
now living is growing monotonus
and going back in business is the
oly thing that will satisfy your
pres ent state of restlessness.
There's money to be made—you
know how to make it, too.
C- B.—For the past month I have
been worried to death. My first
and second husband both are pes
tering me to return to them and
I can’t make up my mind if I want
either one?
Ans: Leave well enough alone.
Neither one of them had what it
took to make you contented—it
won’t be any different now. Contin
ue your search for Mr. Right—he’ll
be along before long.
P. N. C.—I have been home six
weeks and my wife acts strange.
She received my allotment for 3
years and worked regular and she
lived well- I saved my money and
brought it home with me. I want
to build a nice house on part of
my property but she says she is
n’t interested in a home or any
thing I have. Now I have made up
my mind to build the home and
move in regardless- She can come
if she likes or stay as she is.
Ans: The new home will prove a
show . . Aside to Brooklyn Dod
gers: Give us abreak, fellas and
don’t snub our Jackie anymore. . .
Joe Louis, in the middle of the
heated discussion of who he will
fight this June 26th, comes up
with the bright idea that fans
won’t pay to see any opponent
they are now considering. .Joe,
loaded with South American loot,
prefers to wait until Fall. . .
Channing Tobias and wife are
staying the few days at Hotel The
resa while their Central Park
view home has its elevator repair

new member of the exclusive Lee
Haven Beach Club of Conn, of
which Walter Scott, Theresa man
ager, is President . . . Riverdale
Children’s Association is angling
for the premiere proceeds of “Reet,
Petite and Gone”, Louis Jordan’s
latest film. . . .
Just as we were settled with
the sad news that Stan Kenton
was disbanded due to ill health, a
report comes that the 6ft. blond
and handsome leader will go on as
long as his health remains fairly
good. . . Flo Hawkins has really
gone south with the keys to the
Hill apartment which she and Er
skine shared for so many years
Divorce proceedings have already
begun. . . And it seems to be a
little matter of a $60,000 settle
ment. . .
Paul Denis, Radio Editor of the
New YorkPost wrote quite an al
arming column last week downing
Jack Benny for inserting the Ro
chester voiced joke: “This is your
favorite brunet.” Denis thought
the gag in bad taste because the
humor was based on a man’s col
or. . an wrote him: “I take excep
tion to your item In Bad Taste. I
heard the broadcast along with
several other Negroes, and not one
of them took exception to that com
ment- In fact, we enjoyed it and
thought it quite clever.” We must
add that Rochester’s gag was mild
compared to some we’ve heard and
therefore barely passes the O. K.
line.

good investment. Go right ahead
with ahead with your plans- How
ever, don’t overlook the necessity
of reaching a favorable under
standing with your wife. The pre
sent state of indifference is poison
to your marriage. Urge her to go
away with you on a trip—a second
“honeymoon”—thestrive to kindle
the flame of love in her heart all
over again.
W. R.DI am home now after
several years- When I went in the
service I lacked one year of fin
ishing high school. I am very anx
ious to go back to school and finish
up as well as go to college but I
just hate the idea of going back
to school with a bunch of kids.
Ans: Don’t worry about that score
your interest in a high school dip
loma so let nothing whatever stand
in your way of obtaining it Once
you get back in school, you’ll find
some of the kids to be easy on the
eyes and very delightful company.
C. M- F.—Now you see, I have
never wanted to be anyone import
ant, just wanted to get married,
have a home and kids. I never ran
around or drank like some of our
friends did- I worked and helped
out when things were tough. But
what credit did I get, none. My
husband throws all that he and I
Ah make away, hangs out and he
Hot, blistering summer
lays aren’t far away. Get
j'eady for them now. Take
your fan out of the attic

your dealer today. Be pre
pared for hot weather!

accepted the resignation “with
profound regret.”
Recently recovered from a severe

“In relinquishing my position as

Against Discrimination,” he wrote
to Governor Dewey, “I desire to

great responsibility which was en

the mandate of the statute but to

Governor Dewey told the retiring
chairman that “Few men in our

you when our New York law a

STRANGE THINGS MAY HAP
PEN IN THE LAND
By Ray Lawrence
—For Global News Syndicate—
New York, N. Y. —Now that the
Brooklyn Dodgers have broken the
jim crow ice in the major leagues
by hiring Jackie Robinson, some
thing strange seems to be looming
on the baseball horizon. Rumor
has it that some of the western
clubs are planing to come up with
a Negro player. Some credence
letting the East get ahead of them
in doing things, not even when it
gets under their jimcrow pride
So look for anything to happen
now that the major league color
bar has been broken down.
This writer predicted half a doz
en years ago that if and when a
Negro entered the majors it would
be by way of the Brooklyn Dod
gers.
Watch for the next Negro play
er to enter the big leagues via the
Cincinnati Reds or the St. Louis
Cardinals.

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS
PERFECT j
WOMANHOOD ?'
"No”—claim medical authorities, who ought to
know! Nature has so constructed and physi
cally endowed woman that in many cases she’s
apt to suffer certain distressing symptoms >
during her life. For instance, when she enters
womanhood—or during the menopause, the
period when fertility ebbs away.
Now if on ‘certain days’ of the month—fe
male functional monthly disturbances are
causing you to suffer irom pain, nervous dis
tress and feel so tired, cranky, you snap at
your children and husband—then do try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to relieve
Such symptoms. It’s famous for this purpose.
Made ESPECIALLY For Girls and Women j
Pinkham’s Compound does more than relieve
such monthly pain. It also relieves accom
panying nervous tension, irritability and weak,
nighstrung feelings—when due to this cause. i
Taken regularly thrucut the month — this
great medicine helps build up resistance
against such distress. A thing any sensible
woman should want to do! . v
Lydia Pinkham’s Compound is also very
effective to relieve hot flashes and those funny,
embarrassing feelings during the years 38 to 4
52—when due to the functional ‘middle-age’
period peculiar to women.
Pinkham’s Compound is worth trying!
