SAYINGS OF POOR RICHARD

Fond Pride of Dress is, sure a
very curse!
Ere Fancy you consult; consult
your purse!
For Age and Want, save while you
may!
No morning sun lasts whole
day!
II you win not hear reason,
She'll surely rap your knuckles.
BY diligence and patience, the
mouse ate in two the cable.

Tho most Insignificant people are
the most apt to sneer at others They
are safe from reprisals, and have no
hope Of rising In their own esteem but
by lowering their neighborA-Haxlitt.

For many years this country has
been flooded with fake or shady con-
Germs in which stock has been sold
to gullible public, generally to the
small investor who can ill afford to
lose his savings. Since the supreme
court has ruled that incomes from
stocks are not subject to taxation it
is possible that many more of these
fakes will spring into existence, on
the theory that the public will rush
to place its surplus funds in stocks.
If this be the case the people of our
community should apply the acid
test to any stock certificates offered
them before parting with a dollar of
their hard earned money. The fakir
is a man with a smooth tongue, and
he knows only too well how to use it
In war days we urged everyone TO
cultivate that backyard and other
spare land. Millions of small gar
dens sprang into existence and con-
tributed enormously to the food sup
ply. 1t was done as war measure
Now as a peace measure let us dc
the same. Food is abnormally high
and there appears no immediate
prospect Of any radical decline
Every little helps in an emergency
and back yards can produce won
ders when put to proper use.

Houses to See "Friendly En-
emies" Saturday and Sunday.

Good demand for seats when the box
office sale started Friday at noon, in
dicated that there will be a large au
dience at the Grand opera house this
Saturday evening, to witness the
opening performance of Friendly En-
emies," by Louis Mann and his splendid
company. The play is one Of those de-
lightful comedies into which Mr.. Mann
fits with such precision and artistic fin
ish and has been declared his greatest
effort.
Supporting Mr.. Mann in this play are
some of the most capable players of the
American stage, among them being
Jess Dandy who played the role Of
Hans Wagner in the prince Of Pill
SEN" for Is years. There will also be
seen Miss Betty Alden, charming and
artistic ingenue who has been attracting
most favorable attention.
Mr.. Mann plays the role of Karl
Pfeifer, German who, when the war
started, hadn't experienced the proper
change of heart to make him a true
American citizen. In this role it is
said that Mr.. Mann has the best chance
of his stage career to prove he is a
great character actor.
Seats will be on sale again this
Saturday afternoon at the box office

IN the realm of freakdom with a ri
val. 1t was believed by Past Grand
Monarch Edward S. Schmid and by
hundreds of others that "Mexo-
Kallip" was about the limit among
freak animals. His old friend,
Jake" Jacobs, of Texas, the we'll
known hunter and trapper obtained
this animal from a tribe of Indians
in Mexico at a fabulous price and
shipped him to the Past Grand Mon
arch. He has been exhibited at
grottoes in several cities and has
attracted widespread attention
from scientists, naturallsts and otn-
ers. But. as stated. "Mexo-Kallip''
has a rival. Several Texas friends
of Past Grand Monarch Schmid, who
frequently go to Mexico. Central
and South America on hunting ex-
petitions. have standing orders to
obtain for him any freakish ami
mails crossing their path. Recently
William A. King. of Texas. known
as the Snake king. discovered in
Mexico a goat having four horns
which he purchased and shipped to
Washington. The Past Grand Mon
arch has 1t on exhibition, and will
have 1t on view at grotto outings
during the coming summer.
