GOT OUT OF HIS DILEMMA
Truly lceman, as He Remarked to
Himself, Had Profited by Night
School Education.

Fritz, the iceman, was in perspira-
ton (for it was the hottest four o'clock
in the morning in IL years. and a
dilemma flor he only had one small
block of ice left, and there were still
ten customers left unserved, each OF
whom took ten-cent piece.
II know!" Fritz cried to himself i
know way out. I didn't go to night
school for nothin'!"
And he cut the block into ten tiny
pieces and put one piece in front OF
each of the ten gates.
Then climbing over one OF the
fences, and filling bucket full OF wa
ter, he poured water over each OF the
tiny ten, so that each was in the mid
die of puddle.
Clever Fritz!
What you don't? Well, let him ex-
plain it himself, then:
"Haw, haw!" chuckled Fritz. NOW
when they find the pieces they'll think
the ice went and melted on 'em!"
Shortly afterwards ten good house
wives opened their gates and got a
slant at the tiny ten.

Painful Truth.

Miss Singwell had been member
of the choral society ever since il
had been in existence, and it was un
doubtedly true that her first youth
had waned, but the choirmaster was
astounded recently by the news that
she had resigned her membership.
"Res' gned?" he gasped. But what
ever for?"
"Well, l don't know exactly" said
the secretary, "but it strikes me that
it may have something to do with the
solo we picked for her at the next
performance"

Electricity on Farms.

Rural distribution of electric current
has made great advances in the last
two years. In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu-
ton systems, taking current from the
nearest cross-country transmission
line at one point and retailing it
among themselves. In other commu,
mites individual farmers find it de-
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
electric companies install the connec-
ton and require yearly minimum
use proportionate to the investment
in the line extension.
