When 9 newspaper has something
nice to say Of some men they never see
the item and If you mention 1T to
them they will say they never saw 1t.
But Just let the paper make a slight
ing remark about him he Is on TO the
editor with both feet In less than an
hour after it is placed in the postofice.
It's 3 truth that won't rub out.
The Owl and the Bill Dipper Club
thinks that DR.. D. Jennings Kanaly is
the only scientific scientist that can
settle the controversy between Cook
and Peary al to which n found the
North Pole first. 1t will take some
little time for DR.. Kanaly TO solve the
now much-mooted question, but IF
the wind is in the right direction, he
can solve the problem to a beautiful
and scientific fare-you-well. But darn
that windy wind.
The Ledger Owl has the name Of a
good man on our list and this same
man wants a wife, providing be can
find the proper lady for a soul-mate.
He is a middle-aged man. has a good
trade and enough money for two to
live on comfortable and be happy. He
neither drinks, smokes or chews TO-
bacco and attends church regularly.
The Owl thinks be would make a kind
and lovable husband. He wants a
, wife from 80 to so years Of age, with
out any children. II the lady TO his
taste can be found and II both can
reach an agreement, he wishes TO wed
as soon a. possible. This is no fake
or joke, the owl only want TO push .
: good thing along. It's a way we have.
] We are there with the goods and IL a
8 lady wants a husband, she can find
the name of the man and further
particulars by addressing one Reuben
Dill, Mexico, Mo. Write or call early
60 avoid the rush. 'Nuff said.
