Terse, Tart, Timely

Short and Snappy Sayings to Interest
Old and Young
Smile, of course-it costs nothing.
n n n
Be just a man, and you'll be all
right.
Baseball, however, has not been shot
off the map.
"Pussyfoot" is another new one
but it sticks.
China, it seems, is becoming civil
lied. War is picking up.
n n n
What, think you, do other people
say of Pleasantville? It's up to us.
n n n
The wise mar never stops to argue
with a sharp tongued wife. He beats
it.
n n n
When your caller dilates earnestly
upon his honesty it is time to lock up
the safe.
~ n n
Darn the war, darn the emperors,
darn the kings, darn the darned fools
generally.
n n u
Never tell a white lie, Willie. If
you are going to tell one at all make it
a %whopper.
The issue, however, appears to be
preparedness or unpreparedness, fight
or skeedaddle.
n n u
The fellow who lays down on a job
usually finds that the job has wriggled
from under him.
The most beautiful thing in life is
that which appears most beautiful to
us. Your choice!
n n n
All roads lead somewhere, but with
many the road to success begins and
ends in a blind trail.
n n n
No trouble at all to get a reputation
these days. All you have to do is to
be a wise one or a d. f.
n n n
All women are beautiful. Some,
however, are more so than others
including yours, and ours.
n n n
Funny, but true. Some mems brains
are about as effective as the bobbed
tail of a horse in fly time.
n n n
But, then, history may record that
we roared into Mexico like a lion and
squeaked out like a mouse.
II II n
You've noticed, no doubt, that these
brilliant takers make blamed poor lis
teners and mighty slim doors.
n n n
Polly Wink says it's a powerful
sight easier to get a husband than it
is to unget him if he doesn't fit.
n n n
You can always tell a pinheaded
man. Praise puffs him up like a toad
and he subsidies only when he busts.
n n n
With warm weather hopping along
we may expect a noticeable impetus
in the fine art of local open air court
ing.
1t must make a fellow feel bully to
be called a brainy cuss. But, then, we
don't know-just hazarding a guess,
as it were.
We once heard of an editor who was
so wise he succeeded in collecting ev-
cry one of his delinquent subscrip-
tions. But he died.
n n n
The road to success, A~lgernon, is
paved with hard knocks and lined with
the stings of adversely. Get up, go
to it, and hump yourself.

1t is %consoling, though, to think that
our boys will not return from Mexico
entirely empty handed. They will
have a perfectly good coat of tan.

Next Tuesday is Presidential Pri-
mary Election day.
Wise men go to the polls to vote.
Foolish ones stay at home and kick at
the result. What are you?

As The Editor Sees It

Say, now, US country editors sure do
have just one hum-hum of a time.
Here we are sweating icieles in a
painful endeavor to grind out a grist
of intellectual hash for your consump-
ton, and when we spring this brilliant
production upon you about the most
illuminating commentator we'll re-
ceive will be a grunt. Speaking, how
ever, to men only.
X X X
A few people go through this world
on their brains, many slip by on their
nerve, while many just slide along in
the other fellows grease. But never
mind your gum, for we automatically
concede that you, individually, are of
the first named, while we other NOR
tails are humbly grasping at the fraz-
zle end of the grease.
X Y X
Time was when we could make our
selves fairly understood by bluntly
calling it a lie, but now a more appro-
pirate and expressive term will have
to be coined for some of the stuff the
yellow correspondents are sending up
from the border. The other day Villa
was reported in five different places,
was minus one leg, crippled in the 9TH
er, shot through the stomach, well and
hearty, and dead and buried all at n
: and the same time. Even we could
not equal that record for sublime
truth and veracity. We pass.

No, dear madame, it is no longer
necessary to go through your hus-
bands pockets while he slumbers-and
shores Just fill him up with a good
breakfast, then tickle him gently I'M
der the chin, smooth the wrinkles from
his furrowed brow, whisper in his ear
that you heard a "dear little chicken"
call him the handsomest of men, and
he'll promptly shell out everything he
owns except his false teeth and his
vanity. 1t works with US, and it will
ywith him.

While wandering in solitary dignity
along the Shore Road the other night
I'VE CHANGED to glance at a lighted win
slow as we meandered by. The dear
things had forgotten to draw the
shades, and-Ha, ha, ha! He, he, he!
Yum, yum! Oh, mamma! Reminded
us of our own calf love days, and if
she'll just smile real sweetly at us the
next time we meet We'll not tell a
single soul.
X X X
There are times in the lives of the
wisest of men when they are so utter
ly foolish as to be sublimely ridicu-
lous, superbly idiotic. No, we are not
going to tell you what they are. The
wise ones know of them, others sus-
pect, while those who neither know
nor suspect can have a jolly time
guessing.
X X Y
This earth is ove~rburdened with
brainless, spineless, idiotic, egotistical
and e~xasperating nincompoops. But,
then, we haven't any of the breed in
.Pleasantville, so why that sudden flush
on your noble brow? Have a smoke
on yourself.

We know a fellow who has been try
ing for many years to convince his
wife that her judgment is at fault on
even one minor subject. He has ar
gued, pleaded, cajoled, cussed, storm
ed, raved and rampaged, but to no pur-
pose. The Rock of Gibraltar is a peb-
BILE compared to that Amazonian will.
But just as he was ready to give up
the ghost in despair he hit upon the
proper and only solution. He said it

Says BorIand's Bill Would Not Save

Borland's H,OOO.OOO per annum. and. in
deed, as an experiment may cost the
United States that much before 1t Is
proved a failure.
As all the Government work Is being

reflect upon the injustice accorded them
by a wealthy Government, and destroy
the good will and loyalty OF the en-
ployes, which to any business Ia vital.
The principle Is the thing that hurts,
