WE had an experience very like
that of the editor of the Irwin
Standard, but we had decided to
keep quiet about it. Here is what
he says: coil of lavender will drive
away flies" We have read that item
in dozens of exchanges, and unhesi-
tatingly pronounce it bald faced,
consecrated, cross eyed lie When
we had read it about the fiftieth
time, in the honest simplicity of our
heart, we believed it, and, as the flies
were bothering the very life out of
us, we went to the drug store and
procured some, which we sprayed,
according to directions, all over our
desk, creating smell, but little in
ferior to Dan Shrum's limberger
cheese. The result was that the of
fee flies like it so well that they sent
out and invited all their acqaintances
to come in and help them enjoy it,
and everybody that came into the
office, after shifting suspicioasly
around us awhile, would ask: What
smells so internally bad in here?'
and our good M. E. minister advised
US to go out and get buried, as he
did not think we would keep much
longer. We would like to see the
man that started the COMPOUNDED
fake, just to exchange photographs
with him. We are now ready to be
caught in the next sell that comes
around, in our usual innocent wav."
