Hasn't Worked in Is Years
Some Upstart Attempted to Wrest
Laurels From His Sweatless Brow.

Six married women, constituting a
jury in circuit court at Harrisburg, ILL.,.
found Hank E. Mott, manager of the
town band, "the LATEST man in Saline
county" and the winner of a lawsuit
to prove it.
At the Saline county fair lazy man
contest was held and Mott was beaten
by H. N. Finney, a lawyer, who con-
tended he hadn't taken his feet off his
desk in the daytime for Is years. Mott
alleged he was defrauded and brought
suit.
Attorneys for both made impassion-
ed pleas, extolling the laziness of their
clients. They accused each others
clients of doing work and brought
witnesses to court to prove it.
When score of witnesses testified
that Hank Mott never did days work
in his life the women on the jury
handed him the blue ribbon.
Finney was bitter after the verdict.
"Crookedness won for Hank Mott, he
said "All kinds of propaganda was
spread against me. The court was
prejudiced and my own witnesses done
me dirt I'd appeal this case, but | am
too law"

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband
likes dogs and | do not because they
have 10 be fed and cause work. Last
Saturday night he brought home a
BOSTON terrier which he had bought.
! was angry to say the least to think
he would put money into dog when
things are so tight. | told him that he
would have to get another home for
the dog. Now he says that when the
dog leaves he leaves too, and he re-
fuses 10 get rid of it, ! know | could
have the dog poisoned, but | am afraid
my husband would suspect me. He is
very set man and | would be afraid
OF the consequences.
Kindly advise me of a safe way to
get rid of the dog BOB.
Since the dog means so much TO
your husband let him have it. He will
probably be willing to feed the animal
and battle it if you are willing to let
him keep it. | believe you should sacri-
fee your own interests in this matter
in order to give your husband a
pleasure which will mean much to him
Your married life will be happier If
both you and your husband are ready
TO make sacrifices to each other. When
he sees that you want him TO have
his way, he will be more ready to give
you your way in other things.
