WITH THE USUAL GREETING
Elderly Darky Remembered His
Training and Addressed Stereo-
typed Question to Angel"

Jack McGreevy, the vaudeville en-
tertainer, was reared in a southern
locality where the population was
largely black and where the older
darkies were invariably respectful A
part of their Difference, says Nc
Greevy, was to inquire as to the health
of the family of anyone who addressed
them, even if he we're a stranger.
Thus an elderly negro was at work
in the fields not far from a fair
grounds where a parachute jump was
a part of the entertainment. The
jumper, girl, had gone up in bal
loon and had encountered a wind
which blew her some distance before
she cut loose, and when she landed
it was only a few feet from the old
uncle with the hoe. He had not seen
her descend, and he fairly blinked as
he beheld the vision in scarlet tights
and virulent peroxide hair. His train
ing did not desert him, however, for
he asked presently:
Good evenin', Miss Angel. How's

TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE GARY
Youthful Lawyer Made Technical Err
ror In Billiard Contest With
Legal Veteran.

Judge Martin, as young lawyer and
on first arrival in Chicago, thought
himself fortunate in gaining an intro
duction to Judge Gary-the Gary who
tried the anarchists. The Judge took
shine to the young chap and pro-
posed a game of billiards, wherein
Martin made a technical error that
he remembered for long. Gary played
an old mans game, and Martin then
as now, was particularly handy with
a cue.
Picture a contest of thirty-four
points with four balls on a Az by
table. The Judge (barely bending),
with a childish bridge and nerve
less stroke, missed his first shot. Mar.
tin, in shirtsleeves, crouched over the
table like a jockey plotting a winner
and applied himself to rolling up a
run. He had counted fifteen or TWEEN.

disappearing through the door and

Couldn't Part.

Louis Halle was a colonel on Gov
ernor Yates staff, and in that capacity
a part of an inaugural parade. All the
colonels had uniforms a-plenty, but it
was decided to rely upon the Wash
ington supply of horses instead of TAX
ing the mounts along.
The governor sat on his horse await
ing the parade formation, and from
time to time an orderly would gallop
up with an official communication. On
each occasion Colonel Halle was by
his side. At last the governor OBJ
served:
Colonel Halle, I see no necessity
for your sticking to this orderly in
the performance of his duties"
There isn't any," admitted Halle,
"but, you see, our horses are a life

FARMERS SHOULD HAVE PLAN
attention Of Those Interested In Farm
ing Should Be Called to the
Necessity of Basis.

The attention of the farmers and
those interested in the farmers and In
farming should be called to the neces-
.sity Of putting the farming business
on a community or district basis,
states A. L. Paschall, farm adviser fol
Cochise and Santa Cruz counties OF
the agricultural extension service UNI
versity of Arizona college of agricul.
ture. and the U. S. department OF ag-
riculture. Such a system is necessary
for tfe Standardization of products,
the economical purchase of supplies
and the efficient distribution and prof.
liable sale of products.
In order to realize a profit from
farming there are generally two i'm
portant considera tions other than the
improvement of the farm unit:
I. Local Markets.
There is some complaint among the
farmers that the local or nearby deal
ers will not buy or handle their prod
ucts. In some cases this is perhaps
justifiable A better understanding
and closer cooperation between the
dealers, consumers and producers
would be of advantage to all. How
ever. the consumers make certain de-
mands of the dealers, and in order to
supply these the dealers must know
where they can get the supplies In
Efficient quantities, of uniform quail
itv nnocih1n For in
stance, IL a far n brings in to a To-
cal dealer a few sacks Of red pota-
toes, when the dealers customers
want white potatoes. he should not
expect the dealer to buy. Further
more, the dealer wants a regular de-
pendable supply of produce, SO that
he can meet the requirements Of his
customers at all times. The producer
can meet the dealers demands by
studying the markets. organizing and
cooperating to supply them.
2. Distant Markets.

areas of these counties and to find
sale for the products other markets

cred However, in supplying these.
practically the same requirements as
those which apply to the local markets
must be considered. The markets.
soil and other local conditions must
be studied What can be produced
profitably to ship in carload or train
load lots?
Let us get together and study this
matter in a businesslike way. Let us
know what you are producing, in what
quantities, with what success or fail
ure. We desire to make a detailed
study of as many farms as possible,
but we cannot reach them all In this
way in a short time BY studying our
soil, water supply and other local con-
ditions and our successes or failures,
and bringing these data together in a
systematic manner. much can be ac-
complished toward solving the prob
lens of making our farms pay.

The Watts Variation.

Alfred Watts, the young futurist
poet, was lunching with his publisher
at a Broadway restaurant recently,
and while waiting for his bill he
amused himself by matching quarters
with his host. After several dollars
had changed hands, the publisher
looked through the window at one of
those entertaining little Detroitobiles
standing at the curb, and said, face
tiously:
I'll match you for that car, Alfred"
Mr.. Watts tossed back his much
photographed golden name, and re.
marked, with his characteristic drawl.
"Aw, don't be a piker! I'll match
you for two dollars"
