BALD-HEAD
CLUB MEETS
CONTINUED From First Page).

President Wilson heard they were
about to shoot an Irish-American
named Lynch and cabled them to let
him alone, as we were competent to
do our own lynching.
While this conversation was going
on, Col. Blakemore, the Clubs Off
cial cartoonist, dashed off cartoon
showing an English bull tossing an
Irish terrier into the air and trampling
under his feet German dachshund.
Col. Mike Kelly and Col. Ike Hart
both took exceptions to the cartoon
and Col. Blakemore was about to be-
come involved in a double-barreled
alteration when Col. Champlin
raped for peace and Col. Blakemore
explained that he wasn't violating the
neutrality proclamation, but merely
wanted to show what bully pictures
ne could draw. Col. Hart laughed il
off, but Col. Kelly was not so easily
pacified and told the artist if he didn't
let the Irish alone in his drawings he
would need couple of leeches to
draw black spots from under his eyes.
Col. Nose Elb tried to help the
President restore order, but Col.
Champlin told Col. Joe Twyman to
get the fly swatter and quiet the latest
disturbance.
About this time Col. Geo. Z. Gary
came in bringing an equally distin-
guished looking new member with
him, who was escorted to the front
by Col. Gary who said: "Allow me
to present Col. A. NJ Casey, agricul-
tural agent for Christian county. Col
Casey would have hayseed in his
hair, but there is no hair to hold the
seed" Col Casey was given cor
dial welcome and Col. Bill Howell
made him feel at home by asking him
for chew of tobacco.
Col. Smokey" Overshiner and Col.
Ed Gather retired to the ante-room
to discuss the question, (Which is
the easier broken $40 bill or the
Ten Commandments" They decid-
ed in favor of the commandments, as
it developed that neither had ever
broken ten dollar william.
Mr.. Ode Davis, of the Ananias
Club, was present as visitor and
was asked to talk three or four min
utes and tell what he knew.
Mr.. Davis didn't like the way he
! was introduced by President Champ
lin, but he arose and said:
'"When | was in Rome Georgia.
several years ago | called on the
Pope, who reminded me of the Pres
ident of this Club. One was Plus X
and the other Pious NIX. On my
last visit met the new Pope and
strange to say he also reminded me
of Champ. The Pope was Benedict
TX, while Champ is still Benedict 90. "
Mr.. Davis showed signs of going
on, but the President declared the
meeting adjourned sine noctem.

worlds Wheat Yield Set at rs Per
Cent Less by Experts.

Rome. The International Institute
OF Agriculture reports that with har
vesting virtually nearly completed in
most European countries, indications
are that the 1916 worlds wheat sun
ply will be almost 90 per cent lesa
than last years.
II is pointed out. however. that 1915
was bumper year and that the new
crop will be nearly up to the average
between 1900 and 1918. Harvesting
on large scale is now limited to
North America, Great Britain. Rus.
STA and Scandinavia.
The worlds barley crop is estimat
ed at 20 per cent less than last year
although 8 per cont above the aver
age. The oats yield is put at 20 per
