ON SPUR OF
THE MOMENT

BY ROY K. MOULTON.

Grandma's Bonnet.
Grandma used to wear a bonnet
With but very little, on it;
Not a single peacock feather
Flopped or lluttered in the weather.
Five-foot brims were not In order,
Nor the hanging curtain border.
Ostrich plumes that cost full twenty
Were not then very plenty.
Stuffed flamingoes, emba1med parrots.
Turnips, rutabagas, carrots
Grape and apple limitations,
Were not used as decorations.
Grandmas hat did not disguise her;
You could always recognize her
So we dedicate this sonnet
To the modest little bonnet
Each succeeding generation
Makes us love grandma's creation;
And they cut more of figure.
Loved ones faces. ali concealing,
Man can't pick his wife or Cousin
On the street out Of a dozen.
And his nerves are badly shaken
When he elevates his cady
To some strange, offended lady,
And she glares until to him it
Seems to be about the limit.
Wife's new hat as too much on 1t.
Ah for that old grandma bonnet.
Short and UugIy.
Mans wife wants little. here below,
A poet sang. with fire.
There's only one comment to make
That poet is a liar.
She wants a great deal, yes, 1n0eed,
were telling you Of What she wants,
And not Of what she gets.
The spiders read this sheet, and then
They prove that they are wise;
They go and spin their webs with men
Who never advertise.
Uncle Abner.
A little deception now and then is
practiced by the best of men. Also
women.
Hank Tumms says when he and his
wife were married they were made
one and 1t didn't take long to guess
which is the one. The lady admits it
herself
A Pittsburg minister says he would
rather see the women going about the
streets naked than dressed the way
would, at that.
Any burned chump around town
thinks he could run a newspaper a
blamed sight better than the editor
does.
Old Lem Stubs sent Anne Hilliker a
bar of soap. He says he tried to give
useful gifts. Anne hasn't used 1t yet.
Matilda Hanks wants to take vocal
lessons, but her old man says it amt
necessary. as she kin holler SO loud
now you kin hear her way down to
the pustoffice.
It takes a mighty versatile Teller to
admire his own wife's clothers after
the first year or two and make her
believe it.
A minister of our acquaintance
thinks there was no flood and no ark.
There it goes again. They are going
to continue taking things from the
Bible until there will be nothing left
but the name of the publishing house.
The poor whale was pulled out years
ago and dumped back into the ocean,
| hell has been cooled off considerably,
and there is hardly a day but what
some wise man removes some general
| ly accepted passage. Leave the book
alone and take up a collection. ts

Green Tomato Sweet Pickles.

Cut up a little more than a gallon
of green tomatoes. place in a stone jar
and sprinkle all thru with n half
cup of salt. Let stand twelve hours.
then drain off the brine. Make a
syrup of four pounds of sugar, water
enough to moisten and a pint of good
vinegar. Spice with teaspoonful each
of cloves, allsrices, mace; add sveral
sticks of cinnamon and a pound of
raisiEs. Add raisins to syrup when it
thickenS and let cook until they look
plump; then add tomatoes and cook
only a few minutes. Take out and
put into glass jars and cover with
boiling syrup.
Canned Vegetables for Soup.
One peck of ripe tomatoes, two
heads of cabbage, one dozen carrots
medium size), one bunch of parsley,
one-half peck of onions, three stalks
of celery, one dozen ears of corn.
Scald, peel and mash the tomatoes,
chop the cabbage. parsley. onions and
celery fine, scrape. Mix all together.
add a small handful of salt to each
gallon. If the mixture seems dry add
water as necessary. Boil until the car
rots are thoroughly cooked, then seal
while hot. Add this to soup stock in
the winter and it is fine.

WHISKEY DRINKERS
OF England Find Much Water
in Their Booze Since the
First Of July.

LONDON. July Sit has been de-
creed by the board of control that
after July no spirits, with the ex-
ception Of those proved to have been
bottled before June of this year,
are to be sold unless twenty-five de-
grees proof. At S1.25 a bottle, com
pared with the pre-war prices OF
eighty-seven cents the whiskey drink
ers will receive nInety-four cents
worth Of whiskey and pay thirty-one
cents for about half pint of water
that he will be compelled to drink
with 1t.
Despite the earlier efforts of the
board of control to restrict the con-
sumption OF spirits, the consumption
Increased in year three million gal
Ions. Apparently the whisky drink
er finds that the more his whiskey is
diluted the more whIskey he has to
drink to obtain the same results. He
does 1t in about half the time it used
to take him when public houses were
open all day and whiskey was much
cheaper
