ABOUT THE BORROWING HABIT
SorrOwiul Stery Of Scythe. Went the
Rounds.

This is the time of year you bor-
row your neighbor's scythe to cut
your weeds, if you haven scythe
of your own. Some people even
borrow garden rakes, hoes, spades
and the like-and forget to return
them-but of course you don't do
this.
But this story is about a scythe.
Ar EXPRESS reporter passed a
place yesterday where the lord Of
the home was leaning heavily upon
a hoe-he had been using it cutting
weeds. why don't you get a
scythel" was inquired, and then
the weed cutter told his story.
Last summer Mr.. Smith (call
HIM had a good scythe. A neigh
bcr borrowed it and when he was
through with it, loaned it to another
neighbor. The scythe spent the
winter away from home. This
spring the owner sent for it and
finally got it back home. 1t was
badly broken up and he had to send
il to the shop. Just as it came
home from the shop, neighbor
dropped in and said he'd like tc
borrow it to cut a few weeds
would return it in an hour or so
The owner let it go. He had tc
send for it and the boy who went
after it brought back the report
that neigbbor No, had loaned it
to neighbor No. 2 who wasn't
through with it. After sending
for it a second time, the owner Sc
cured possession Of the scythe
again. II was broken again and
he proceeded to get it in shape for
use. While he was grinding it,
another good neighbor dropped III
and asked to borrow it for just a
few minutes. Neighbor No. 3 has
the scythe yet and the owner is
cutting weeds with a hoe.
