We have always suspected our friend
Norris Sommer Of being a humorist,
and suspicion becomes certainty as we
ponder over his reply to a reporter for
an afternoon contemporary as to
whether or not ne could repeat the ten
commandments. Without the culver
Of an eyelash Norris informed the
young man that he could repeat them
in German and IN Hebrew, which. says
the reporter, he proceeded to do. Now,
we don't like to knock, but it is our
candid judgment that the reporter
couldn't, to save his life, tell whether
Morris repeated the ten commandments
or MARY Had a Little Lamb" And
to round the thing Off, Morris had the
hardihood 20 tell the young man that
he couldn't repeat the ten command
ments in English because he had never
had time 10 translate them into that
language, and modestly added that he
once knew them in French. but had
forgotten them as far as French is
concerned.

Attorney Houtz Of Provo says it is
legal for candidates for Office, when the
election has resulted in a tie. to throw
dice to see which of the twain shall
take the Job. Now the statutes say
that in such a case the contestants
shall draw lots, which would infer that
the thing should be settled in a little
game Of poker. The only trouble about
that is. though, that in poker some
players draw lots, while others draw

PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to.date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most p3rk' his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
1c:sh and muscle food if they
Ire thin ana weak and a blood
ocd if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
God; the Cod Liver Oil in it
