A congressman said in the lobby
of a Washington hotel that you can't
lose the youngsters when IT comes to
making a good guess. even II they
don't hit the mark. In proof OF the
statement. he told this story Some
time ago the teacher IN a public
school was giving a talk on classic
mythology. Little Willie was not very
attentive and when it came to the
questioning part Of the game, he was
lost in the wilderness. Willie said
the teacher, closing the book and
looking impressively at the youngster.

Yes, maam, was the prompt answer
of Willie. He was the Teller what

Answer-Cover the lower end Of
broom handle (from WHICH bristies
and wire have been sawed Off with
several thin pieces of stocking; this
is done by lacking the stocking to the
broom handle. Then sew strips OF olo
stockings, about ten inches In length
to the covered end Of the broom.
About thirty or forty two inch-wide
strips will make a good full mop. DIP
the mop into a solution of half cup

Bearish Effect on Provisions.

Chicago. June 5.-Bearish sentiment
continued today TO predominant in the
corn market Buying was of only a
scattered sort. One of the reasons
given for tire absence OF demand was
that the crop, tho light, seemed TO 30
rapidly catching up, and that III some
sections ten days of warm weather
would make the condition of the plant
about normal.
Opening prices, which ranged from y
cent off to IS cent advance, with July

downturns all around.

Europe also was a bearish factor.
Later the market became dr.ner as

AMOUNT ALLOTTED PROVES
DISAPPOINTMENT HERE

The allotment of only $4,000 Of
fedcral aid money 70 Sumter county
as announced by the state highway
commission SUNDAY progcd big Is
appointment to Sumter county off
Gals who have been at the head of
the movement for paved roads in
Sumter county. However, taking in
to consideration the facts that the
county is not yet ready to begin
spending money, and the assurances
of the state highway commission
made at the hearing that federal aid
money will be available as rapidly as
it can be spent, there was no incli-
nation to criticise unduly, although
Judge Hixon and Judge Maynard who
interviewed members of the highway
commission in advance of the hear
ing had been given to understand that
more than $4,000 might be expect
ed at this time.
at is a distinct disappointment"
was the view Of Judge Maynard,
county attorney, when informed of
the boards allotment. However, we
were assured by the highway commits
sion that we would be given as much
money as we could spend, and this
seems to indicate shat they think we
cannot spend more than 100000
including our own portion of the
amount-before the next apportion-
ment next year. This may be correct
and it may not be. But it means that
we are limited to somewhere near 5
miles of road during the year.
ga number of counties were on
hand with applications for federal
aid money for sand-clay roads, and
