PERHAPS IT'S THE HEAT

A reporter for one of our positively eminent contemporaries taxies into the office the other morusng and speaks thus:
 Say. what it this here Camers Back?"
 'Wattaya mean-what is it?"
 Where is it and what it is, a paper?'
 Nav, it's just blurb that bubbles in The Republican every once in a while"
 When does it come out? I never read it.7
 Mostly on Thursdays, if the editor doesn't give out"
 Thursdays? Was it in yesterdays paper?"
 Nav, I said THURSDAYS"
 Why, er-er-Say, was yesterday Friday?"
 Sure"
 And today is Saturday? Gee, I never knew thatl''
 And then he took his feet off our deck and blimped out of the office to try to catch up with the slogan of his sheet, which, my dear, is--but you can readily guess what it is.

roy Thompson of this city, for a
farm near Green Mountain: The
farm is four and one-half miles
northeast of the city and was form
erly owned by NJ. F.. Diehl. The
prices at which the land has changed
hands in recent months are nothing
short of sensational.
During that period of time it has
been sold three times at an advance
of $3.50 an acre. The quarter is a
fine piece. 1t lies we'll but the i'm
provements are only fair Late last
year Mr.. Diehl. sold the farm to
William White, his son-in-law, for
$500 an acre. White, in turn, sold
at to Thompson six weeks ago for
$3.50 an acre. Thompson has a
profit of $50 an acre in the transac-
ton, or a total of $12,SO0, anu
White made $4,000, combined to-
tai profit of $2O,S00 on the quarter

association would have thirteen
months of equal length, twenty
eight days each, leaving the. first
day out of months or weeks as
New Year Day" Monday will be the
first day of every month and Satur-
day the last working day of every
month. All other holidays and an
