lamb. Unlike that sapient sheep. the
husband goes right in and sits down. He
stays all day. Not only that, but he
mikes, and helps his wife larrup the
kids. A few days ago she mixed a base
bah bat in an argument with a refrac-
tory future president. The future presi-
dent tried TO take the bat from her. At
this period OF the argument the husband
mixed and between the two the future
president received a bunged eye and a
twisted wrist The next day the father
of the boy went to school and had a
tongue fight with the teachers husband.
This brought a member of the school
board into II, and the big brother of the
licked boy laid the board member on the
floor and sat upon him. All in all, there
has been helen repeat in Round Grove.
