LOWeROW STUFF.
(By Our Office Boy


Golf is a game in which you chase
a little white ball all over a good
part of the United States of Amer
lea. 1t is played by rich men who
are too old to chase anything else
around-chickens for instance.
To play golf you have got to be
rich. 1t is game for men who go
to work at 9 o'clock in the morning
or later. The later a man goes to
work in the morning and the soon
err he quits work in the afternoon
the bigger salary he gets. The
guys who go to work at o'clock
in the morning and work ten hours
per day are the guys who don't
have to pay no income tax.
Which is one thing about life l
don't understand very well.

row escape of some local man.
Well. that begins to look like it
was going to be pretty good news

THE RAMaLlNeS OF A
RAMBLER,

There have recently come from
the western front reports that
Germans would stick their heads
above the trenches to see II there
were any Yankees with the Allied
troops. A lot of them found out,
but the only way they were able
20 let their comrades know it was
through spiritual communication.
Farmers herabouts say that q
lot of these city chaps who are do
ing their little 'bit" along agricul-
tural lines by working on the
arms, must have learned the farm
ing business in q correspondence
school.
A fellow told me the other day
thAx he was saving cigarette cou-
IONS for a pretty girl. Since that
lime I've looked in all the coupon
looks ! could find, but / didn't see
where they were giving any pretty
girls for cigarette coupons. I
Wonder how many coupons it takes
10 get one.
The story is told of an artist who
