Forty or fifty farmers in one COM

mothers, and went tanglefooting up

some babyisms to each other and then
occasionally pausing directly in front
of the lecturer to wave chubby hands
at the audience, to googoo at the
speaker and then clatter away on an
other tour of the aisles. They were
cute. Sure! But they were breaking
up the meeting" and finally Burg
derfer, after toiling manfully for
some minutes after the manner of an
auto going up grade with the clutch
slipping, paused, watched the tod
dlers' antics for few breaths, and
crisply remarked:
eff the judges are ready to report
their decision on the baby show, we
will proceed with the entertainment"

angry mammas with two squirming
babies were going down the opera
house stairs two steps at a time,
while happy audience was clapping
and shouting its approval Of the first
