achieve his record, or else he was suffer
ing from a severe case of mentali dys-
pepsia when he gave utterance to his
warning cry. Don't marry" To the
admonition we see this astonishing indi-
vidual coming such sad saws as "a
young man married is a young man
marred." and the rhythmical couglet:
Needles and pins. needles and pins.
When a man marries his trouble begins.
Nothing can be truly great which is

Some Japanese scientists haye dis
covered that all of these infamous bac-
terra are spread throughout the globe
and inside the whole human race by
rats. Yes, rats The skin of the rat is
the natural repository and breeding
place of bugs that will give you every
thing from appendicitis to delirium
tremens. The Japs propose to kill the
rats and abolish pain. Good for the
Japs. Incidentally, let us first catch
the rats.
Some people claim that the census
enumerators failed to enumerate at
least 1000 of Buffers population, last
summer At the time the census was
taken it is said there were 10500 names
of indivsduals on the mail carriers lists
in the postoffice, 500 more borough resi-
dents on the box and general delivery
lists and probably 1000 small children
whose names were not yet at the post
offie. This would make Buffers popula-
tion IL 900. There are no doubt, that
many people in Butler now.
