Says Some People Like Operations So Well
That If 1t Doesn't Hurt Them They
Don't Enjoy 1t.

Now that the war il ended and the
prize fight is over, and the weather
Is nice, people are getting operations
80 that they can have something to
talk about.
Talk Is cheap, but not II you've got
10 pay cash for your operation.
The only difference between an err
binary doctor and a specialist is In
the bills they send you.
A physician is all right but a spe-
ciaiist can think Of bigger names to
call your ailments
You are troubled with hay fever,
You 20 to q specialist and he calls It
q name which makes you proud that
you've got It. g
For twenty-five dollars you can
have tonsilitis, but for five hundred
dollars you can have appendicitis,
It's better to save UP until you can
afford something worth while.
Anybody can have a cold, but II
takes q rich man to have pneumonia
Some doctors won't take a knife
In their hands for less than a thou
sand bucks.
But for that amount OF money you
can get q lot Of SCARS TO make your
friends Jealous.
II a man comes out OF an operation
without any scars he thinks he's been
cheated.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-07-20

Instead Of complimenting the doc.
tor he asks for his money back.
Some people like operations so well
II II doesn't hurt them they don't
enjoy it.
When they pay a doctors bin they
want some pains to show that they're
getting something for their money.
A doctor always writes everything
In Latin except his statement.
OF course they have to write pre-
scriptions' out in the same way and
the bootleggers have had to learn
Latin.
A doctor has to 60 to college for
five or six years to learn to tell you
that you're not feeling we'll
Every time you show him your
tongue n costs You two dollars and
a half.
You can save money by keeping
your mouth shut.
He tells you to cut out cigarettes
and booze and to stay home ut night.
He figures that n you do this he
stands more chances Of getting his
money
The doctor stands at tho window
and watches tho patients arrive, II
you walk up to his place all you need
Is pill but II you drive up in q linn
CUISINE you need an operation.

Smiths single.
Bing Miller astonished the natives
by polling a'home run into the open
pavilion In left field. outdistancing
the drive by Bobby Roth, the only
other batsman to send a ball into
those seats.
Sam Rice contributed two fine
fielding plays, his diving trap Of
Sewell's single in the fifth being bril-
liant to an extreme. He followed
That with q neat running catch.
After q steady rain all morning the
skies cleared long enough for the
game. A heavy shower followed, but
then 1t was too late. The Indians
victory before small crowd kept
them in first place.
After Miller had famed in the Sec
ond, the Griffs punched three hits for
one run. Shanks hammered a liner
to center, and O'Rourke stung one
to right. Picinich's Texas Lacquer
close to the leftfield foul line gave
Graney a friiitless gallop, Shanks a
run and a two-bagHer for the hitter.
The other two runners were left,
though. when Erickson whitfield and
Judge rolled weakly to Wamby.
O'Rourke Slabs Liner.
A brilliant one-hand catch of a
liner took Erickson out of a bad
hole in the second. Sewell had
walked with one gone and reached
second on Doc Johnston's line drive
over short, there were two on and
one gone, when Nunamaker drove n
savage liner to O'Rourke. Blacxfe
reached up his glpved hand. the
ball stuck and Sewell was easily
doubled at second. More trouble for
Mails In the third and he was for
hat he rif h,,f
one run. Harris singled over Gard
ner's head, hot liner that was
barely Knocked down, Rice was hit
by a pitched ball. Milan flied to
Graney and then came a nifty dou-
Bile steal, putting Harris on third
and Rice on second.
The Indian infield came in half
way and Bing' Miller dropped a
Texas Lacquer in short center. Har-
ris scored and Miller reached sec
ond before Sewell could get the ball.
Shanks fouled to Nunamaker.
O'Rourke's pass filled the corners
and put everything up to Picinich.
Walls best was a short fly to Graney
and all three runners were left.
Erick Gets HystericaL
Showing signs OF wildness from
the start, Erickson quite reached the
nysterical stage in the third. He
walked Mails and as soon as Graney
and Wamby had expired on flies,
he filled the bases with passes to
Speaker and Elmer Smith. When
Gardner's hopper TO O'Rourke forced
Smith, the Griffs breathed again.
Bling Miller contributed his home run
smash In the fifth. 1t came with
two out and was a terrific drive,
travelling high In the air and land
ing in the open pavilion. Bobby

er, either singly or combined who
may or may not be a member of
the organization and three trus-
tees one being the president ex-
Officio.
The following were elected
Thomas Collins, president, well
known resident whose integrity
is beyond cavil; Martin Andersen
vice president, secretary-treas-
urer, Mr.. Clemens of pleasing
personality and capability - the
right man in the right place. Mr..
Locke trustee, who, judging by
the large vote in his favor will
meet the requirements of his of
flee in satisfactory manner. Mr..
W. Doyle being the third trustee
whose well known business quail
fications makes him eminently
fitted for the office. All told it
seems a happy combination, all
sections of the community being
well represented.
The question was put to the
meeting on behalf of growers in
other parts Of the island as to
whether they would be eligible
for membership which was met
by an emphatic yes.
AS far as [ could judge the
of the members were in
favor of entrusting the sale of
their berries to Mr.. Grossman,
but to satisfy some Messrs An
dersen and Locke were deputed
to see Mr.. Paulhamus or his rep
rcsentative and get down to brass
tacks as to what offer they could
make for the berry crop.
Mr.. Paulhamus has been stall
ing up to date owing, no doubt.
to the uncertainty of the market.
but we have to know and know
without delay. | understand Mr..
Paulhamus will take care Of those
who have contracted with him
and has also taken over the Ma
tlonal cmnery contracts.
1t is understood that growers
having made such contracts are
eligible for membership in the
Cove association, and after the
completion of such contracts they
shall be subject to the rules of
the association.
All the foregoing is a some
what lengthy review of the sub
ject matter but the Importance
of the subject must plead my ex-
cuse as time is short and any
grower desiring membership in
the Cove association should APP
ply to either of the officers with
out delay.
