little blouses, or bodices as they are

Although the sun shines brightly and

Once upon time The Woman Who
Sews received q gown home from her
dressmaker In which the skirt pleats fell
sadly awry. The skirt made many visits
and return visits to the dressmaking es-
adjustment without appreciable better
ment, and at the end the last state of
these misplaced pleats was worse than
the first.
Then The Woman Who Sews arose In
her wrath, grasped the scissors and
ripped those grievous plents out entirely;
pressed the skirt ont flint, and with a car
penter's foot rule, aided aud nbetted by
the dressmuker's tape measure and q

Then, In the first flush of pride which

husband that SHE, no dressmaker at all,
had made the thing right when the pro-

A Disgusting Man
w. w. Elmer, M. D.

The most disgusting man I ever knew
This is, you understand, 'twixt me and
you
Was Obadiah jerks of Porterville-
1t may be he is Twin out there still
But headstrong Gosh, I never see
his like;
He'd talk on any subject that you'd
strike;
You couldn't head him off till he was
through,
He gener'ly was right about it, too.
Some railroad people came along one
day
And wanted to secure the right of way;
Obadiah said 'twould help the town;
We argued, but we couldn't talk him
down;
He talked about it till the rest gave in
And let the soulless corporation win;
1t seems that he was right about it,
too
The most disgustin' man I ever knew.
You couldn't make him give up in
debate;
He always was cocksure, as sure as
fate;
He always had opinions of his own,
And stubbornly he'd stick to them
alone;
By George, it didn't matter what you'd
say,
He'd talk and talk until he had his
way;
AS fer mistakes, he made almighty
few
The most disgustin' man l ever knew.

Grow Potatoes on Vines

w. R. Packwood expects to evolve
a variety of potatoes that will enable a
man to gather instead of digging them.
He is led to believe this by strange
experience he has had on his ranch in
Douglas county. He has succeeded
in raising immense potatoes on vines
above ground, instead of by roots. One
of the big fellows weighs four and
three-quarters pounds. This product
comes from planting potato seed that
grew on top of the vines last year
