A farmer saw a boy picking apples from one of his best apple trees. He tried to catch him, says the Weekly Telegraph, but the boy was too quick for him, and so the farmer changed his tactics.
 Come here, my little son." he said in soft voice, with a counterfeit friendliness, "come here to me a min ute! I want to tell you something.'
 "Not likely!" replied the boy. Lit tle ones like me don't need to know everything"

Motorist Suggests a Sign at Turn on
Blue Line Directing Tourists.

Tourist travel west is said to be
heavier this year than In any year

are coming through Abilene. Mere
would come however, it was pointed
out by an Abilene motorist, If there
were sign on the Blue Line seven
miles north and a half mile east Of
here directing tourists to Abilene.
Because of the construction work on
the Golden Belt between here and
Junction City most of the travel west
out of there Is diverted to the Blue
Line and i'm consequence many tour
lists go right by Abilene when they
might just as well come through
and stop.
With no sign Of any kind at the
turn most people who are unfamiliar
with the road and want TO find Abb
lene are obliged to stop and inquire
t'he way and others just go by.
