There is dollar EXCURSION from

The dry weather has sent up the
price OF milk in all the towns around
here, and lola will doubtless fall in
line very soon. 1--WE could make
more money with milk at two cents a
quart" said one of the dairymen to a
REGISTER reporter yesterday, with
feed and pasture as they usually are
this time of year, than we can make
now at five cents quart. We will
simply have to advance the price OF
go out of business and kill our COWS.
The Abilene Chronicle writes disin.
terestedly on the subject of gratis as
follows: It's just about time for some
lOve-sick idiot to try and get his boy
friends to go in on party so that he
can dance with his best girl. What
glorious fun it is TO hop around hot
ballroom with the salty juice from
your feverish forehead trickling with
tantalizing trickle down your nose
and eventually dripping onto the
alabaster neck and shoulders of your
partner. Your pants feel like wet
wall paper and your collar embraces
your neck like Il ring of dough. The
girls don't wear much and seem to
keep cool, but the. youth who wall ask
his boy friends to dig up for hall
and orchestra this hot weather and
compel them to don those nice dress
suits aud lhop around like lot of
monkeys, ought to be hung out in the
sun to dry and get over this love-siclS
spell.
