DICTAGRAMS

After a long and mysterious alb
sence a man by the name of Economy
has just returned to his home in Kan
sas City and his folks would like to
know where he has been. Well, all we
can say is that he has not been fooling
around here to any great extent.
The club women of the second dis
trict want a law to prevent the mar
riage of feeb1e-minded persons. Per-
haps such law is needed but it GER
tainly would start lot of trouble, as
well save lot of work for the mar
riage license bureau. Who would have
the courage to assume the duty and
responsibility of passing on the men
tai capacity of love lorn men and
maidens
Considering the high cost of living,
the scarcity of vacant houses, the cost
of building material and wages and
household furnishlng-it might be de-
cided in advance that any man or
woman who would marry under pres
ent conditions really needs guardian.
Love laughs at 1ocksmiths-and
high prices. Nothing scares 'em, once
they become infected, and fools rush
in where folks just out of quarantine
might hesitate. And yet, in some ex-
IRENE cases, we hear of broken bonds
being hastily mended.
And while we are on this subject
it has been our privilege to cite up
several soldier boys, both in and out
of service and both in and out of the
uniform of Uncle Sam, but not until
this week did we have the pleasure of
performing the nuptia1 ceremony for
a soldier in the uniform of the Can
adam army. This time he volunteers
for life, but having in mind the fair
comrade who secured his enlistm ent,
nobody could blame him. After three
years and three months of servi-e
only three days in France before he
was taking part in the second battle
of Why Ridge-it is hardly likely tina t
he will ever become deserter.
The people of Wa-Keeney won t
have to turn their clocks back-be-
cause they had the good sense not to
| turn them forward
