saw theta film it up at the pump.
This, car is said TO glide over the hills
as smoothly as the mellow rays of
the mighty orb of night from which
it took its name. And I'm lookin'
| (soon) for a revival of song which
was quite a favorte a few years ago
entitled My sweetheart's the man in
the Moon
Some one asked NE if | had read
"Over the Top" by Empey and said
"No, sir, | read over the Top by
mysclf--all alone
Hurrah for Hoover,
He's the man.
If we cant eat,
The soldiers can.
We are ad,nonished to use ice as
a necessity and not as luxury. Yes.
But it's pretty hard to determine
these hot days-just when luxury
ceases to be luxury and becomes a
necessity.
| notice that recipe for wheat
less loaf" is soon to be made public.
Said to be a discovery at the expert
mental kitchen. Now don't that beat
hen peckin'. Why we've done
been eatin' wheatless loaves at our
house ever since Hoover first spoke
to us about it. The recipe we use is
very simple. Here it isl at. corn
meal, salt as much as you please,
water enough to make good stiff
paste, bake on board in front of
fire. Is it good? No
| notice that the geological society
of New York has acquired al educat-
ed ape, and seem to think it worthy
of special mention. Well, by golly,
we can go the effete east one better
and then some Out here in the West
educated apes are SO common that
we don't pay any attention to EN-
you won't find all OF them at the ZOO
either.
1t looks Cat this writing as if the
editors of the country will be COM
pellcd to subscribe for each others
papers in order to swap items. Gosh,
won't it be fun to- have one editor
send another dun tellin' him to
paw up and to have the other editor
write back and say hw, what eatin
yuh; | done paid up and ordered my
paper stopped" or Il didn't subscribe
for your old sheet anyway" Fun:
Well, giggle to think of it.
Grasshoppers are serious pest in
several counties this year, but they
make excellent chicken feed Cannot
someone invent sort of grasshoppcr
, seine which would make the catching
of them easy and profitable? Go
ahead and make a million out of the
idea if you want to-we don't want to
be rich ourself.-K. c. Times, July
2o, 1918. A seine indeed-why your
poor simp, why seine? Just turn
your chickens loose. l have bunch
of Leghorns that can out-hop, out
jump, out-run and out-fly any grass
hopper. Just bring on your hoppers.
We don't raise 'em in this section.
/ recently spent day (also some
change) in the hustling little city of
--ville--I use the word "hustling'
because no other word will express
the git-up and go of its people. They
