about election time as much as the
next man, but never take much stock
in noise since the time my friend JEFF
Rambo sells the bull frogs.
This JEFF Rambo is stock broker,
or some such, as he is about the most
positive guy ever see in all my life.
He will never admit he is wrong about
anything, and what makes it all the
more exasperating to one and all is
that he is generally right, when they
are figuring him to be wrong.
Anybody can stand for a guy al
ways claiming to be right if they know
he is sure to be wrong, but naturally
everybody hates to hear a guy claim
he is right, and then have him prove
it.
Well, anyawy, one night this jeff
Rambo and l are eating dinner in a
joint uptown, and jeff orders frogs
legs, which are very fine eating at all
times.
When the check comes along jeff
finds out that they have charged him
buck and two bits for these frogs
legs, which is way Of saying a dollar
twenty-five, and he let's out a terrible
roar about the matter.
He says it is altogether too much,
and he will be dumbed if he will zap
it. So they call in the guy who runs
the joint, and explain Jeff's squak to
him, and the guy tells jeff that he has
to pay eighty cents a pound for these
frogs legs in the market.
So then jeff says to the guy like
this:
why" jeff says, there is pond
over abck of my house i'll New Jersey
which is alive with bull frogs. hear
them hollering at night ;" JEFF says,
"and," he says, "if you are paying
eighty cents pound for frogs legs
l will get rich off you"
"That is fair enough" the guy says.
ri will just as soon pay you for frogs
legs as anybody else, and he says,
"the price for your frogs legs will
be eighty cents pound"
Cali right" jeff says, II will be
backing wagon up to your joint in a
few days. And" he says, 81 expect
Won fo catt1o of 0nroo
Well, week or so goes by, and the
guy hears nothing much from jeff, but
I am keeping tab on what comes off,
and 1 hear Jeff hires all the farmers
around his joint in Jersey and sends
them out to the pond to spear these
bull frogs.
He pays these farmers several bucks
a day apiece to do the spearing, be-
cause naturally Jeff figures with bull
frogs selling at such good prices in the
market, he can afford to be liberal
with the farmers.
Well, one day a couple of weeks
later, Jeff shows up at the restaurant
with bucket in his hand, and in this
bucket is pound of frogs legs and
they are not such good frogs legs, at
that.
Naturally the restaurant guy wants
to know where are the rest of those
frogs legs which Jeff promises, and
Jeff saws like this:
WELL" he says, 81 must admit
am deceived in the noise. II figured"
Jeff says, from the noise these frogs
are making over in that pond abck of
my house that there must be millions
of them, but" he says, at seems few
frogs can make just as much racket
as lot of frogs.
Anyway" Jeff says, 81 am wrong,
and you can charge what you please
for your frogs legs as far as am con-
cerned, because l know they are
scarce" ....

SPECULATION IN FRUIT
DISCUSSED BY PACKERS

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 20.-The
financial interests and spectators who
are strong enough to carry the fruit
past the flush to the scarce portion of
the season take the biggest profits
was the point conceded by speakers at
the fifth annual convention of the
Skookum Packers association in con-
ference with growers, shippers and
bankers.
1t was urged that some central stor.
age plant be sucured and the growers
add to the security of the office by
shipping from such an assembling
point. 1t is probable as a result of
the first days session that the seattle
port commission will be called into
conference with view to a request
from orchardists that the commission
provide such facilities.
The meeting developed the largest
in the history of the Skoo- |
kum Packers association. The at |
tendance at rollcall was $50, with free |
from Washington, Ore |
gon and idaho. The sessions will con-
tinue daily until Saturday morning.

The congressman from the middle

becomes their daily task to avoid

When exercise and light diet
fail it will be necessary to resort to
artificial means. Strong physics

advisable for elderly people. They
