There is a bad leak in the Pleasant
Valley telephone line. The latest leak
is to the effect that some Of the boys
OF that locality who we're returning
from Salt Lake recently, had loaded
up with Pabst soda pop and Guggen-
heimer's grape juice. They had inves-
ted S45 in supplies OF this kind. On
their way home they met an inquisitive
human this side of the Utah line who
insisted on knowing what it was that
made their car run so fine. After sat
istying himself as to what it was he
took the whole lot away from the boys
and accompanied them into the nearest
large town The boys, seeing that the
joke was ON thin, each contributed
1000 pounds OF wheat to the red cross
fund, filled the radiator of their car
with water, and drove home. The
leak i'm the line was repaired just be-
fore the names Of the boys We're dis
closed.
