LAUGHS AT ANCIENT SAYING
Here is One Retired Business Man
Who Is Not Afraid of

The world seems to be full Of cheer

'They tell us" he says, that If a
man quits work he soon rusts out; but
/ don't find that to be true. / haven't
done a stroke of work In four years,
but | don't feel Il bit rusty yet not a
bit.
"They tell US also that they never
come back and / think that may be
true; really l am inclined to doubt
whether l could now, at seyenty-fiye,
take up my work where | laid it down,
when I was seventy or thereabouts;
but ] don't want to take 1t up.
81 don't think anybody Is entitled
to anything unless he works for it; but
I think I have earned a rest. worked
hard for fifty years; in that time ]
did about one hundred years work. So
as | figure 1t, there IS still rightfully
due me about 45 years of leisure.
In other words, ! should have to
live to be about one hundred and twen-

properly apply to me; and l hope |
shall live at least that long and all the

Karakul, Persian lamb and Astra-

war almost all of them were dyed and

special home is in the vast sandy des-

born covered with an abundant fleece,
down to their hoofs and as far as their
eyes. This fleece is formed of black
strands tightly curled against the skin.

WHY PERSHlNG WAS MISSED

Two Lincoln (Neb) scouts lost out
in shaking Pershing's hand by living
up to the scout mandate: do a good
turn"
Scouts George Kennedy and Norman
Plckell set forth on the eventful day
Of Pershing's visit with one all-consum-
ing desire. They wanted to shake
hands with the man whose leadership
had made him boyhod's idol.
They skirted the crowds-a boys
paradise.
They left the gay downtown streets.
They knew their only chance would
come when Pershing arrived in his
own door yard.
The two scouts hurried up the
street. They saw the procession com
ing They increased their speed.
Just then the scouts ran into two
baby girls One said her name was
Mary. Both were crying with the
cold
The procession moved on. The ba-
bies sobbed some more. The scouts
took them along. BY the time the lit
tie group reached Pershing's street the
babes had tuned up in great shape.
The scouts turned into the white
house on the corner"
please, lady, will you warm these
title girls2 They are cold"
The babies were taken In. The
scouts hurried on. Just one more
block. Perhaps they could make It,
They reached the coveted spot in
time to see the front door close.

SCOUTS KEEP OUT OF COURT.

81 have never heard of any boy
scout getting into trouble and brought
before the Juvenile court" says Col
j. e. Huchingson, boy scout executive
OF Denver.
"On the other hand, we have had
scores of boys who have been In Ju-
yenile court before they became
scouts"
1t Is Colonel Hutchingsons theory
that no boy is hopelessly bad, but the
bad" boy only lacks the opportunity
to express himself in the right way.
Colonel Huchingson says that the
average boy Is a democratic institu-
ton, that he is for fair play and wants
to give another boy chance to make
good If there is anything against his
record The scout troops elect their
own members and oftentimes take
boy whom they know has a record
which the school authorities can't hold
up as shining example.

The stationary fremen point out
that they are receiving much less

The service department employees
also presented a petition in which they
ask for a % per cent increase. The
petition was signed by about fifty of
the city's employees They say that
the increase is an absolute necessity
if they would combat the present high
cost of living successfully.
1t means just this. Unless our city
