Lee Powell has an unique method OF
laying off his garden. He spaces the
bitches with his baby buggy, SO when
Mrs. Powell goes out to hoe the weeds
she wheels the baby buggy up the
bitches, ties string to the hoe handle
at the other end fastened to the buggy
and everything is lovely in the Powell
family.

The new Ford-Bernard-work in
hank in Tacoma and is used to get
ting up about nine o'clock. His broth
or Vernon doesn't believe in this beau
ty sleep dope so he has added to his
list of chores that of rolling Bernard
out about six every morning. To get

planks literally studded with nails and
put them in Vernon's bed under the
sheet: Vernon tried them both but
didn't like them so he transferred them
to G. Monroe's bed. Now it happens

after Vernon had retired the third
time, piled into bed and never found
the planks until morning.

that organization the cows were saved
tho the shorts were not recovered.

one little chap observed it and ex-
claimed: ooh, look! Mr.. Bowles can
drive with his neck turned around
now"
