ate his cane rack there during the
celebration next week, reports the
Osborne Farmer. Mr.. Shfftless re-
ports the outlook for a bigger and bet

more promising. Old Bill had to hus-
tie considerably to get the price Of
the license, but he finally made it. A
few of Mrs. Shiftless' chickens helped
him out considerably. Old Bill says,
now that the celebrations have start

did a Juggling act. Bill says if he
makes a killing at Downs he will add
baby rack and then his wife can run
it and help him out.
