VILLAGE GOSSIP

NOTE FROM LADY: Please take
my advertisement out of your paper.
have sold the machine and could have
sold 80 more. Everybody must read
your paper
Ask James Stewart what's the mat
ter. He will tell you Immediately and
make no bones about it. Can you
blame him?
Now is the time to begin your spring
gardening. 1t has not been more than
a week since frost got out of the
ground, and it is not all gone yet, as
ambiguous as that statement is.
Miss Marie Anderson has been af-
fiicted with the humps and has Taboo
ed pickles and lemons. She is much
better and says it is not nice to be all
shut up in the convent dormitory.
The Pinard boys are all keyed up for
a spring season of baseball, with AL
eide, the champion boy catcher of the
hilltop section. And Earl, why, he's
the champion coach.
james Binner is now one of the real
big boys of the village and very Iowa
Bile one at that.
You may not believe it, but the WIN
ter is over.
Just to show the guess-as- guess-can
methods of the weather profits" what
a fizzle the Hackensack wizard (not)
made of his aurora bOrealis prediction
last week! The great winds away up
yOnder would give us two days of a
big storm at the end of the week. They
never showed up.
Anyhow, the ice stayed the longest
of any place in front of the Berkey
home. There was a big hllock there
last Sunday three feet thick.
The Darbys are selling number of
useful household articles they do not
desire to carry away when they leave,
which everybody is sorry to hear about
but when people have to be having their
only two children get married and go
off, and the head of the house keeps
tabs on all the sleeping cars of the
country, going from pillar to post all
the time, and the lady is compelled to
stay at home all alone, it ceases to
be just the kind of way to keep things
going just as they should, and then
they have to pack up and rent the
house over their own heads and get
out, and when the lease is up they will
be wanting to come back again and
open shop at the old stand, and this
will make all their old admiring
friends so happy they'll give 'em big,
highfalutin' reception. Yes?
AT last We have some few signs of
spring, but TO name them here would
be telling, especially when that pile of
ice still remains in front of the Ber-
keys front porch. Nevertheless, spring
is on the way, and none can deny it.
Another sign of spring is the APP
pearance of the drove of saddle back
ers that prance through Palisade every
Sunday morning and not rider
amongst them. What would a rough
neck wild wester say if he saw one of
these hilltopers turn his mount like a
lady novice, with both hands holding
the reins, held as high as ones head
'"Turn round, hossie ~
And still another sign of spring
the chap who gets out bareheaded be-
fore the frost is away.
And yet anOther-the man who in
sists that his bulbs are building.
Paul Binner wrote home the other
day he thought he had flunked his ex-
ans. Then he got fine passing marks.
Why, Paul!
And still another sign-George Clark
is calling us "Loganberry" across the
lot.
Freddie st. John and Loyal Phillips
are bosom friends.
And Freddie is nearly as big as dad
dy now.
Whom do you think will get the NOM
nation? There's Herbert Hoover
they're kicking at, Wood they are
jumping on, McAdoo they say won't do,
Bryan they are roasting, as usual: I'm
derwOOd they believe cannot get it,
Hardin they say cannot win, Lowden
they claim is the trust candidate
