Nimrods Bring Back Bacon

A number of Nimrods have
returned hilarious, bringing
home the bacon, or rather, the
venison. Not all of them have
been successful. 1t is reported
that somehow one hunter got an
idea that wild deer behaved like
tame cows-that you could de-
pend on them to follow you when
you call them, and everything
like that. He had been told
that the true way to get deer
was to stick around till they
found clump of quaking aspen
and proceeded to take nap.
This particular Nimrod, Jr., de-
cided he would hunt the true
way or not at all. A deer pass
ed close by him, but he did not
try to hurt it. Il will wait" he
doubtless said to himself, till it
goes to yonder clump of quaking
aspen and lies down. Then I'll
be able to get a sure shot. All
this time his heart was quaking
worse than the aspen. Perhaps
his excitement accounts for the
fact that the rapid disappear
ance of the deer wasn't noticed
Til he had searched in vain every
corner of the grove.

Investors in Marion Pipe
Line Very Fortunate.

The Marion Pipe Line has been
practically completed. All that
remains to be done is to con-
meet with the houses. All the
material for the finishing touches
is on hand.
The Bates spring, which fur
nishes the water supply, flows at
the rate of 27O gallons per min
ute, Is, 200 gallons per hour, and
388, 800 gallons per day. AS
there are 160 shares, each share
entities the holder to use 2, ,430
gallons per day. Meters are be-
ing installed to insure equitable
distribution.
AS the total cost of the system
is $40, 600, or $3.50 per share, it is
seen that the project is one of the
best investments ever made in
Oakley valley. 1t certainly is a
bargain when for an investment
Of $3.50 you secure 2,43O gallons
per day, or 874, 800 gallons per
year, of the best and purest wa
ter in the country. The Marion
Pipe Line shareholders are to be
congratulated.

Dear Editor:

While | am not knocker, |
must say that you are rather
high-handed when you pre-
sumo to help married folks set
tie their differences YOU, an
OLD BACHELOR! Why don't
you give advice on some sub
ject that you know more about
for instance, tell the best
way for a bachelor to sew but

ANXIOUS INQUIRER.
| don't sew buttons on my
coat. | use bachelor buttons.
May heaven smile on the man
who invented bachelor buttons!
Ii only | knew his name, l

One reason why give advice
to married folks is that the
less a fellow knows about a
matter, the more advice he can
give on it. The second reason is
that the less a fellow knows
about a subject, the more worth
while his advice will be.
Some people say that a little
learning's a dangerous thing.
hold that heck of lot Of learn
ing may be darn sight more
dangerous.
It's worse than a waste of time
to depend on people who've had
experience. By the time a man
gets enough experience in any
line to know anything about it,
he has become too prejudiced fol
his advice to be worth anything.
But there's at least a fighting
chance for a disinterested obser.
yer like me to fud something
worth talking about.
Nobody ever studied the sub
ject Of matrimony more thor.
oughly than the deceased King
Solomon. But imagine that
if he were alive and MA" were
to ask him for advice in settling
