A cantankerous old farmer, who
hardly ever agreed with anything his
wife said TO him, came home one wet
day and, placing his back TO the fire,
stood up TO dry.
After some little time his wife turned
TO him and said:
"John, you'd better watch yourself or
you'Il burn your hannels."
To which John replied:
II think III need TO burn my trou.
sers first"
Indeed, John. you'n need TO do naeth-
ing OF the kind. They're burnt al

Indications are very favorable for
more snow, or should il even moderate
TO a rain the condition OF many
streets in Ardmore would be threefold
worse than any country road could
be. Ardmore receives enough money
on her street tax every year TO keep
the streets in good shape, and II the
work was placed in the hands OF a
thoroughly competent supervisor, even
at a good salary, we believe il would
be money well spent, and in the long
run a saving OF money to the city.
