It seems to the Ottawa Herald that
Verdun, like woman's work, is never
done.
Not few of the Kansas newspapers
in rural centers are reporting that the
corn appears to be standing the con-
tinued hot and dry spell in pretty good
shape.
The man who can vote and will not
vote ought to be made to vote or keep
his mouth shut about the nominees.
A politician is all right and a USE
full citizen, the Yates Center News
quotes r. H. Trueb1ood as saying, I'M
til he begins to think he is a stat IS
man.
According to the Beloit Call, a wom-
an walked into one of the Beloit shoe
stores the other day and put this
question to a clerk: ''Have you any
white shoe backing"
It is a little hard to continue the
talk about southern chivalry.'' sug-
gests the Hutchinson News, when the
opposition to the child-labor bill comes
from southern senators only.
Reflections, by Joe Heylmun in the
Fort Scott Tribune: We wonder if
rubbing salve on heat eruptions could
be called a rash act? Everybody
says now that when it's freezing it's
pleasing, and when it's torrid, it's hor-
rid A friend of ours whose
bedroom was too hot got mad and
raised the roof. Is a desire to
know how hot it is prompted by mere
curiosity or mercuriosity? 1t
has been observed that he who has a
hobby for bracers may sooner or later
encounter a pair of steel bracelets.
A Thrifty Youth, is the headline the
Emporia Gazette puts over the follow
ing story: The palm for being a good
provider goes to a member of Com
pany L. This boy had 81 when he
went with his command to Fort Riley
June %. By diligent saving of his
wages and by safe. judicious invest
ments, he had s160 to leave with his
parents when the troop train came
through Emporia July 1. Which shows
that unlimited opportunities for max
ing money present themselves in the
army-providing the bones roll right.
