expects to have it for several weeks
yet.
Now, however, the time has ar
rived when you can take off your
winter woolens and get your hair
cut and a shave with impunity.
When all the members of the male
populashion in Bingville, who need
hair cuts and shaves get same, it
will be like as if a large number of
strangers had arrived in our midst.
We hope that Slime Peterson will
be one of the first to avail them
sells of this opportunity. Slime

years last fall. A year ago he be-

protect his face from the bitter

that he thort he would just let his
beard remain in statu quo during
another winter. AS a result Shines

Doolittle, who admits he amt had
a hair cut for three years. Abs
hair hangs down his back so far
that you could almost braid it, but
how would Alb look with his hair
braided-he'd look like thunder!
Harve Hines, Our tonsorial bar
Der says he expects to do a rushin
business for the next few DAYS.
Harve says he ort by rights to
charge so cents for hair cut and
25 cents for a shave where hair and
whiskers has been permitted to
grow unmolested during the whole
winter. Harve says it is a offul
chore to shave a six or eight
months growth of whiskers or to
cut a crop of hair eight or ten
inches long, but he amt going tc

his customers and will continue tc

Let us therefore take off our
