Here is Something
New to Think About

A real estate agent said this week
that he had big farm sale all made.
so far as price was concerned, but
the seller wanted to sell on three
years contract, while the buyer
wanted to pay his money and get a
deed to the property.
The reason for wanting to sell on
contract is said to be that in case of
an out-and-out sale, the income tax
on the difference between the buy
ing and the selling price will have to
be paid this year. In case of sale
on contract, the idea seems to have
gotten into the heads of many people
that possibly the law will be changed
so they will not have to pay income
on excess profits after few years.

you can hardly tell politics from

Mr.. Voter. and think how you'd feel
If you had to be hung because the
man who chanced to live next door
to you was a murderer. Lee Russell

more than Bilbo will be responsible

Three of The Wettest Sum-

The three months, May, June and
July, were unusually wet. While the
total amount was not large, because
there were no very heavy rains dur

fro more than half the days of each
month. In May there were 18 days
when rain fell, the total fall of the
month being $50 inches; in June
rain fell on 16 days, with total fall
of SIS inches, and in July there
were 20 rainy days, with a total of
5.54 inches. On several of these days
the precipitation was too light to

as rainy.

GREEN RIBBON v
SCAIsES HOODOO

| It's all a Joke, this talk Of Friday
being unlucky. For many centuries
people have refused to sign contracts
on Friday, fearing that the jinx would
be an uninvited partner and turn
things awry Housewives have been
afraid to try out new recipes on FRI
day, for fear the cake would burn. or
the bread would not raise; and women
have avoided wearing brandnew
dress on a Friday. because they believ-
ed 1t would cast an evil spell on the
gown.
A great student OF superstitions has
discovered that these people were all
wrong. Friday, he comedies, has a
tendency to be a day Of bad luck. But
II persons wear something green on
that day, such as emeralds or a bit of
green ribbon, they need not fear the
iinx.
IL the mother of Reginald Jones had
dressed him in green on the day OF
his birth she would have spared him
much hardship in later life, according
to this student. Reginald, the unfor-
tunate hero of Never Say Quit"
started out wrong by being born on
Friday the thirteenth. Since there
" as no green to greet him on his ar
rival. the jinx greeted him. The Jinx
got the upper hand Immediately, and
Reginald had a hard time ever after.
