 The reason why a woman never gets mad at her husband is because he is never so happy as when he is giving her money to spend
 Gall is great stuff We know some tobacco codgers who get mad and make you apologize because you haven't sense enough to carry their favorite brand wher they bum a chew from you.
 You may have noticed that the man who is always indignating that something ought to be done never does anything.
 You can't always judge man by his clothes But you can usually judge him by the clothes his wife is wearing.
 The fact of the matter is that a man isn't as fond of high brow music as he is fond of being thought fond of it.
 If there were as much kissing after marriage as there is before marriage thore would not be so many divorces.
 At the age of 50 a man either gets rid of his conccit or he doubles it.
 Ten minutes of hustling would en- able you to get rid of a trouble that it takes you ten hours to tell about.
 man may be so honest that he would not steal a half million dol lars But do not tempt him by leav- ing half pint lying where he can get his hands on it.
 A young man devotes most of his attention to the hair below the ear line An older man devotes all of his attention to the hair above it.
 It might also be well to remember that if you arc anxious to make a fool of yourself prohibition won't stop you
 No man will admit that he is greedy. But tho truth is that if your bank roll was as big as you would like it to be, you couldn't carry it.
 If you keep harping on one string you will find yourself out of tune with the rest of the world
 At 15 a girl can't get her skirts long enough. At 25 she can't get them short enough.
 When a man and a woman sin the woman falls, but the man merely stumbles.
 When they are first married she thinks that she has landed pennant winner. But later on she wonders i, he will ever get out of last place.

BREWING A WITCHES BROTH

In the view of one of the members of the Com North Dakota, the changing of the treaty. of peace in so that Japan is busted from succession to the concessions in Shantung is tremendously fraugh with peril to the concord of nations It IS blow, he asserts with soemnity, struck at the real interests of China Japan, conceding that the Senate adopts the proposed amendment, will be placed in a position appearing be coerced into doing at what she has promised to do even tually. This only the creation of serious trouble between America and Japan.
 The other nations having agreed to the Shan tung settlement, the United States would be com pelled to drive Japan out of China singe-handed, sending her soldiers again the into for eign lands to fight This is the extreme phase be- the North Dakotan is quite positive that this country will never engage in such For that reason he declares, the promoters of the amendment betraying China with a Judas kiss their real intent being he describes the operation, to drive poisoned dagger into the peace treaty and force

 It is place unique in history that MT Hoover has won. He has made that place for himself without reward either or goods or titles by simply adapting common-sense principles to new and huge problems; by swiftly seeing the thing that needed to be done and saying Come. Let's do ft!
 This is an American way of looking at things and doing things; so we like to think of Mir Hoover as a typical American. But efficiency on such a gigantic scale IS not really typical.

JUDGE CURTIS
DECIDES SUIT
FOR DAMAGES

A decision of considerable inter-
est to Imperial Valley residents was
rendered by Judge Curtis, sitting for
Judge Cole in the Superior court of
Imperial county today
In the case of Howard VS.. Moore
& Johnson, a suit for damages for
the trespass of stock, it was held
by the court that in this county one
cannot recover damages for injury
to crops unless the land is protected
by a lawful fence. 1t appears that
many residents of the Valley are of
the opinion that it is unnecessary to
fence their land and that they can
recover for any damage done by their
neighbors stock, whether their land
is fenced or not.
According to the decision rendered
today, that is not the law. Attor-
ney George Fl. Banta, representing
the defendants, raised the question,
and Judge Curtis stated that, while
it was his opinion that it should not
be so, yet the court had no power to
make the law, but was bound to ap-
ply it as made by the legislature.
Evidently we must either fence our
land or see that the law is changed
if we wish to recover for any dam
age done by our neigbors' cattle.
