Don't be too hard on the chap who

you haven't made fool of yourself yet

When you agree with a man he has
nothing left to argue about, But when
you agree with woman she keeps
right on arguing.
The trouble with owning a good
fountain pen is that it tempts you to
write too many letters.
Some mems minds are so small that
they regard a nickel in much the same
way as an elephant regards a peanut
Why does a O0-pound teamster al
ways sit on one end of the wagon
seat and force it out of plumb when
he could just as well sit in the middle

The more questions you ask the more
you will find out that il isn't so.

When man spends $40 in a raf-

A horse can swear with his ears,
But a man being an intelligent animal
has to use his mouth.
A husband can be so homely that his
face hurts him. And he can be so hard
up that a dime looks like $40 But he

CHEER AMERICAN TROOPS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. May 29 (By The Associated Press) When the news of the Amer ican advance reached the villages in the rear cheering broke out among the soldiers and civilians, some of whom had been up all night in antic- ipation of important news. The faces of the women and children were bright and happy and the sick and wounded in the hispitals were heartened by the feat of their brothers in arms.
 Boys from the front with whom cor respondents talked today all were one in praise of their comrades They said that they knew there was a long way to go but the Americans had now shown their mettle and if the Ger mans attempted to Overrun them they were going to have the hardest time of their lives.
