What lie Needed.

A Walnut hin resident made up his
mind few days ago to begin taking
ice from the local ice trust. Having
various brands of bottled goods In his
refrigerator he thought IL best To have
the ice man leave the ice on the back
porch. Accordingly he came down
town one morning, dropping into a
hardware store, purchased n pair OF
Ice tougs.
I'm going To carry my own ice into
the house and put into my refrigera-
tor" he said In explanation of his pur.
chase.
Two or three days later he again en-.
tered the store bringing the ice tongs
with him. Walking up to the clerk
who sold him the tougs the man said:
Say, made n mistake when |
bought these things, | don't need n
pair OF ice tongs; what | need is a
sponge" Omaha World Herald.

HAY CROP DECLINE.

New York City (SpecaD.-The hay
crop of the United States according
