Out Oh ten DI1QGS Oh LOudy ever INTENDS
to obey the injunction of the marriage
service to "obey" when she promises
to do so. That word is a standing
! joke and should be removed from
every ceremony.
| The world and everyone expects a
girl to paint and powder and pencil,
but for man to use perfume-well,
capital punishment has it's good
points, too.
The question is making the round
CT the press: "Who was the father-in-
law of Moses ?" and a bright little
squib replies, Owe don't know, but we
believe he was a republican"
Prices are falling, but at last ac-
counts the wages of sin was just as
high as ever.
/ There's a little boy in our town
who has reached the age where
whipping is much more enjoyable
than a bath. A few afternoons ago,
while being bathed, he pitched
handful of suds into his mothers
face and screamed out between sobs:
''If you got to wash me all the time,
why don't you wash my neck and
ears instead of all the time scrubbing
my stomach-it don't show"
ego stiffneck" is a disease that is
rampant in some social circles. It
would richly repay some folks to step
into "naturalness" and get acquainted
with themselves.
There are evils in every city and
while the local ministers are pointing
many of them out in their sermons,
Ocala is cleaner and better than most
little cities at that.

A clear conscience is luxury very

One of our friends who used to car

his key ring, is saving the ring just

i One of our Confederate soldiers at
home from the reunion says, "You
tdon't get good cooking everywhere
you stop when travelling" We should
Isay you don't. Good cooks are born
land not made. And every person who
Isits down tonight to a good home
meal will agree with US.
1t was a mean fellow who said that
it was easier to get a girl to tell how
much henna she used in her last
shampoo than to get her to tell her
Iage.
The lady who catches the biggest
string of fish or largest bag of game
will never be seen walking home thru
the alley.
Life as we observe it is very much
Ike game of bridge. You can often
make points by playing a good hand
indifferently, but you can make more
by playing poor hand well.

We read that gasoline is coming
DOWN, automobiles are coming down
cotton is coming down, clothes are
coming down and lots of stockings
are already down, but first class
Igossiping is still coming across.
When we pass that way, we wonder
why some home loving folks DOM
build on the pretty wooded lots east
of the golf course. They look sc
"homey" and they are fairly begging

81 Who is it that does not love the
Iwhistling boy? Whistling is a boy:
own music. 1t is as natural for boy
TO whistle as it is for the birds tt
lsIng, altho the music is not always
as melodious. But whistling like Ger.
tain other practices is restricted IL

etiquette. Give us the boy thai
whistles-a hundred to one he is ace
high in the affairs of heart and
morals.
A visit to our school reveals an at.

Ieyes alone do not cause this. There
lis something in their elastic step, the
swelling muscles and their mental
Ialertness that commands attention
There is an inspiration in the hopeful
eyes that turn towards the future
with confidence in everything. In fact
their whole beings are so charged with
assurance that we sometimes wonder
Iif there is any limit to youths posi-
bilities. 1t is the greatest period of
life and when properly encouraged
land directed, foundations are laid that
make permanent success of the fu-
ture. God bless hoping, confident
youth.

mice to consume what others sweat
for, and that's no joke.
