Miss Eugenia Hyde calls the
attention of the public to her case

Once upon {, time a Topeka
(Kan. minister was preaching SER
mon on How Shall we Get to
Heaven" just outside the church
there was a ball game in progress
on vacant lot AS a climax to his
beautiful sermon the minister fold
ed his hand, dropped his eyes toward
the floor and said in a mellow voice:
"And how shall we get to Heaveng'
There was moments pause, then
came an excited voice crying,
''Slide, teller, slide, slide, slide like

"A Missouri editor who went on a
vacation left a minister in charge of
his paper A day or to later letter
from away back subscriber" came
which read: "You know ID we'll I
paid my subscription the last tine I
was in town. IfIget any more such
letters I will come down and maui
hell out of you" The minister an
swered: II have been trying to maui
that thing out of the'editor for years
and if you really come down and
maui it out of him, then, my dear
sir, I have twenty members of my
church you can operate on"

Corn shredders this year have a
new wrinkle. The corn first goes
through a clothes wringer, then the
shredder takes it and a tank at the
side catches the juice after the milk
is knocked out of the kernels. Let
this stand "a hours in a cool place
then skim it, add the rennet and
press into a cheese. The whey is
is then distilled and makes an arti-
Gle of whiskey that three swallows
of it will make man pick his own
pockets and trade his grandmother's
tombstone for bottles to put it in.
The cobs can be used for upholstery
and the shredded fodder makes ami
NAL sauerkraut. 1t wasn't the
frost that hurt the corn, but it was
the lack of three weeks of decent
corn weather at both ends of the
season. Just set the shredder a
little closer and it will give mush
and milk already mixed.
