Don't throw eggs that do not hatch

Don't count your chickens before

Don't bury dead chickens where
they can be scratched up by hen or

Don't be careless about the fresh

Don't let meat cling TO the bone cut

Sixty-Seven fine fowls. they left the
following note: Have your ducks fat

about two weeks. Your chickens are
pretty fai-. but the ducks are too skin

The reason living is so high is be-
cause too many people want 10 roost
too high. The fellow who gets SO n
week wants TO perch on twenty-five
dollar roost, and the fellow who gets
$50 wants TO parade on top with the
milionaires. Let milady remember
this when she buys that hat.
