A learned man, explains the Great
Bend Tribune. is one who voluntarily
admits that he doesn't know much
about the subject. An ignorant man
often is one who assumes to know
all about it.
Tom Thompson explains in his How
ard Current that woman and an
automobile are very much alike. Some
go with a crank and some have cleo
trio starters, but after all you can
never tell what they are going to do.
No wonder Tom Myers, of Gardner,
is confined to his bed with an attack
of nervous prOStration due to over
work, as the Gardner Gazette reports.
The Gazette explains: Tom. in addi-
ton to his cleaning business, has been

The owner of an automobile saws
the Winfield Courier, may be well re-
garded so long as he does not take any

and it adds: And tick costs the mer-
chants of this country a great deal
more than that every year.

Observations, by Editor Henrie in

bother people much if there were no
rich folk. Fortune may knock at
the door, but misfortune just walks
right in.
AS it used to be and as it now is,
according to the Douglass Tribune:
! The old system with the thrifty
farmer was to raise more corn to feed
more stock, to raise more corn to buy
| more land, to raise more corn to feed
more stock, to raise more corn to buy
more land, etc. 1t was an endless
chain. The new system is to raise
more grain to buy an automobile. to
dash through the country and eniov
life at a 40 mile an hour clip Accord

Observations by the Wichita Bea-
| con: Many fellow thinks he's clever
when he's only fresh. The
| secret of success is not only to do it
| but do it successfully. The
| flute player is no financier, but he is
able to float high notes with ease
!. The man who doesn't know
| when he is licked, is the man who
| can't be licked. The girl OF
today can't be expected to tango al
night and work all day. That's why
it is perfectly logical mother should
do the dishes.
! Another version, by the Stafford
Courier: Some people are borr
great, others have greatness thrus
upon them. and a lot more just shove
their way to the front on their nerve
