Proving His Love

A dentist received a call the
other morning from a couple whom
he soon had a reason to believe
were lovers. The girl had an ach-
ing tooth, and as they entered the
operating room the young man said;
Now, dear, the worst is over
just take a seat and it will be out
in a minute"
oh, l can't" she gasped.
But it really won't hurt you, you
know"
But I'm afraid it will"
1t can't; I'd have one pulled out
in minute if it ached."
Il don't believe it."
"Oh, yes, l would"
Has she got a bad tooth?" asked
the dentist.
Yes" answered the young man;
1T has ached a week and I've just
succeeded in getting her down here.
Come, dear, have it out"
"Oh, | can't"
But you must"
II can't stand the pain"
Pain! Now, then I'll have one
pulled out to show you that it
doesn't hurt"
He took a seat, leaned back,
opened his mouth and the dentist
seemed to be selecting a tooth to
correspond with his forceps, when
the girl protested.
Hold on; the test is sufficient; he
has proved his devotion. Get up.
Harry and I'll have it pulled out"
She took the chair and had the
tooth drawn without a eroan, and
as she went out she was saying to
the young man:
Now | can believe you when you
declare that you would die for me.
And every tooth in his head was
false-New York Sun.

High Cost Of Living.

Writing about the high cost oI
living, Walt Mason lately turned
out the following bit of jingle;
"A stately squash grew on a vine
that hung upon fence, and it was
large and smooth and fine, and sold
for Z cents. The buyer put it in a
crate and shipped it off to town; the
railway company charged 10 cents
freight and got the money down.
Then diverse kinds of middlemen
passed that squash along, and each
one got a rake off then, in which
they saw no wrong. The jobber to
the grocer sold that squash one
autumn day, and it was SCARED
and bruised and old, and tending to
decay. The farmer who raised that
squash to town came on his wheel;
at dinner time he said: 'B'gosh, I'll
have a good square mealr And to
a restaurant he sped and ate some
squash on ice and then he stood up
on his head when he was told the
price. Your prices on sauashes
makes me hot! he cried; your game
is bunk! I'll sell wagon load for
what you charged me for that
chunk Our eyes with teardrops
are awash. We're viewing with
alarm; for when we 60 to buy a
squash we have to buy a farm.

ITEMS FROM FARMERS
or Farmers, For Farmers and
Pertaining TO Farmers.

Last fall P N Jones sowed IS
acres in Timothy and wheat. The
wheat was badly winter killed but
the other day Mr.. Jones threshed
the crop and the yield was IL BUSH
els of wheat and 6 bushels of timo-
thy seed per acre. Mr.. Jones is
confident that he would have gotten
10 bushels of timothy seed per acre
had it been ripe enough when cut
to have all threshed out.
j B Gray tells US that oats are
making a big yield and he never
saw better quality. He cut 26
acres and this yield was II bushels
per acre. Mike Madden's 35 acres
averaged 67 bushels.
Farmers report large numbers
of chinCh bugs in some localities.

lows: Charles w. Cox, of Lakenan;
James H. Cox, of Oregon; John W.
Cox, of Monroe; Mrs. James E.
Ragsdale and Mrs W. O. L. Jewett,
of Shelbina, and Mrs. Matte Darby,
of Pomeroy, Washington.
She early became a believer in
the Methodist doctrine and remain
ed a faithful member of that de-
nomination.
She was a noble and high-minded
woman, generous-hearted toward
others and always more mindful of
others than herself. Even when
she knew the end was near she was
solicitous of the comfort of those
about her and rendered grateful ac-
Acknowledgement of every little favor.

Don't Kill the Toads.

Toads are the friends of the farm

incredible number of insects, eating
ants, cutworms, thousandleeged
worms, caterpillars, ground beetles,
destructive weevils, grasshoppers,
crickets, spiders, sow-bugs, potato
bugs and a miscellaneous lot of
other insects that are destructive to
crops. Therefore protect the toad.

friendly to this helpless, harmless,

well repay your kindness to him.
