Those fran reeds who are preserving
their voices at the expense of the national
good, should study this interview thought

A new note for every mite Of humanity

getting new ideas in music all the time.
And right here we wish to remark that
Apostle Joseph Smith, the Salt Lake City

Ten to one! We can almost hear Doc

The terrible fear is expressed in some
quarters that Willy Hearst is Just adver-
Using for 1908. Unless something is done
in the way of trust-busting before that
date. the advertising may not be wholly
IN vain. We put in our coal yesterday.
They are going to raise the price of

not a marker TO the present ones.
A slang dictionary maker in New York
is in despair. She has found 1926 slang
synonyms for "whiskers.' The very latest
is a detectives description of a man with

My old employer sometimes tells my husband

and as you have mice little husband"
why be SO spiteful? No matter If the
"old thing didn't recognize you when
she came to the office! She was just en-

spiteful and kind Of 'sniffy" at the lady.
And as for little daughter" Perhaps
it wouldn't do her any harm to work in
an office with some old bear. She would
probably appreciate her own mice little
