The Art of Enjoying Life

From the New Republic
 It is the Puritanic feeling of responsi- bility which has blighted art and philos- orhy in America and has made us as a people unskilled in the art of enjoying fife. (No one who witnessed our victory celebrations will here ask for proof) By making daily existence dreary and de- pressed it, drove people to strong drink, and now itydeprives people of their drink

HOW THE OVERALL CRAZE
 STARTED, IT IS CLAIMED

The Royal Tailors of New York sent a circular containing an article with above heading to their customers last week. The article was clipped from the editorial page of the Chicago Ev- ening Post under date of April 27. The clipping read as follows: "The secret of the great overall movement is out. A New York reporter hit upon the bright idea, and, having com mercial instinct, such as New York seems to quicken in the brains of even such impractical human beings as reporters, he carried the diea, first to a big overall concern. According to the story, he was given $10,000 for the idea and made head of the firms pub licity department.
 Now he is wearing $100 suits while the fool public is buying his firms goods."

MEAT PRICES DROP

We'll, something has gone down at last. Meat is cents a pound cheap CT in Jerome.
 That is, the steaks and cuts that you buy over the counter are, on the average, cents pound cheaper than they were few days ago. Prime dressed meat is down from 25 cents to 20 cents pounds, wholesale, and drsesed COW meat has dropped from .22h cents to 171a cents.
 The reason for this is that first class beef is being gathered right off the ranges a little farther to the south. The Jerome Meat company has just bought 50 head of extra fat cat tie, half cows and half steers, from Del Crabb, whose stock range west of Wickenburg. This will supply that es- tablishment for some months.

Paul Coffin, standing around with nothing else to do, volunteered to write the adv, for which he was highly qualified, having first-hand knowledge of the character of the brute. Here is what he wrote:
 "For Sale-One Ford car with pis- ton rings; two rear wheels, one front spring. Has no lenders, seat or plank; burns lots of gas and hard to crank. Carbuetor busted half way through; engine missing, hits on two. Three years old-four in the spring; has shock absorbers, n everything.

 One of our Flagstaff family men re- gently brewed some very potent beer from one of the formulas one fre- quently hears about. He set it away, according to directions, to age for a week. The afternoon before it was supposed to become of age, his young son, in the absence of his parents, took five bottles of it and invited four of his little playmates to share it with him. The mother of couple of the little ones saw them drinking the beer, but, as it was in Revo bottles, she supposed it was Bevo. A little later, when her two youngsters came into the house, one of them claiming that she saw birds flying all over the ceiling and the other complaining of being too dizzy to stand up, she put them both to bed, then got hold of one of the bottles in which a little of the fluid remained. and when her husband came home asked him to .analyze it.. Having had experience with such con- coctions it did not take him long to decide what was the matter with the children.

When you meet County Attorney Frank Gold ask him how he enjoyed that chicken supper.
 At Fredonia few weeks ago, LOT um Pratt invited MT. Gold and Sher- if Jack Harrington to spend an even ing at his home. Frank got 1t into his head that MT. Pratt had invited them over to a chicken supper. He told Jack so and finally got the latter to 20 along with him. Frank first in formed the landlady at the hotel that they had been invited out and would not be there for supper; then they started for the Pratt home. Arrived there, they found no one at home, the family being at Kanab for the after noon. Jack hiked back to the hotel at once and got his supper, but Frank spent a couple of hours walking up and down in front of Pratt's, waiting for them to return. Finally he gave up and went back to the hotel, sup perless. The next morning at break fast everybody in the dining room in sisted on passing food to him, pre- tetnding to be afraid that otherwise he would not be able to make up for the lost meal.
