Mrs. Whats-Her-Name galloped
over to the Leffingwell kitchen portal
with an ear of sweet corn in one
hand and a look of intense interest
on her face. Mrs. Leffingwell was
not frightened at the sight of this
specimen OF the king of cereals, but
she buttressed her mind against a
barrage OF chatter which impeded.
Whenever this neighbor had any
thing which she wished to unload on
her friend, she clouded the issue by
pretending to be on mission other
than the real one. She had observed
in the corn a tiny creature which had
not been listed in her card index of
insects. So she took the exhibit over
to her neighbor whose knowledge of
the matter in hand was limited to pc
diculus and cimex lectularius.
Mrs. Leffingwell adjusted her
spectacles, loked at the ear OF corn
with critical eyes and admitted that
she knew more about babies than
kshe did about bugs.

On our recent trip we found
trolley fares raised In many
places. One interurban line in
Pennsylvania, running from
Boyertown to Norristown has
raised the fare from s cents to
8 cents. The conductor collects
s cents about every three miles.
He gives q receipt for each fare
because the people have taken
this big raise to the courts.
