If It Fits


The reason we don't take any
stock in exercise as a means of re-
duction is because if it worked some
tongues would be reduced to the
vanishing point
A woman is fond of exaggeration
the hat she wants, her husband s
shortcomings, her troubles and her
Importance; but when it comes to
her age she- surely is ultra onserva-
tive.
Some girls who have waited for
the right man to come along have
gotten left. Others who grabbed the
first thing that wore pants now are
collecting a regular alimony and
living happily ever afterward.
Probably the only thing worth
less than Russian ruble or a Ger
man mark is a mans chances of
being boss in his own home.
The male Of the species always is
fond of hair-raising tales. In his
youth he reads the Deadwood Dick
tales, and when he gets older he
switches to the hair tonic ads.
Going to the devil is the easiest
trip you can take; but there are
blamed few who can make the
grades on the return trip.
The reason young man thinks
life with his Sweetie will be one
long, grand sweet song is because
he hasn't yet gotten his lamps on
the bill for the piper.
A plain truth, like plain girl
never has many admirers
No one is better able to tell YOU
of the evils of misplaced confidence
than the dumbbell who has trusted
to luck.
There are plenty of people who
gladly would practice thrift if only
their friends and neighbors were
not such spendthrifts.
1t is getting so it isn't considered
any mere of crime for wife tc
shoot husband than it is to muir

Farms in the
Sudan Settlement
Raided by Ducks

Tha, ducks and geese are literally
running the feodstun that IL not
housed In the Sudan country was de-
clarcd IN letter received by the
Avalanche Monday, from +. r. Slate,
with the Sudan Mercantile Company.
There are thousands n these birds
- be seen In the early morning and
at sunset making their way 20 and
from the lakes and fields. and il IL
reported that one man has lGst more
than three hundred bushels ~ maize
~ result u their raids on his
plaec
The cry for help" was made in
the letter. with q pressing invitation
for Lubbock Rupmen 70 come 70 their
assistance 10 hll and drive them out.
The reason FOR this invasion ~
ducks and geese is that there are 30
few places on the Plains where there
has been enough rain 10 fill the lakes
and they are taking advantage " the
water In that country, and are 10
numerous that there is not enough
food in the lakes 10 supply their
needs, and the feed crop is taken as
a second choice. II IA very often the
caNs on the Plains that they destroy
the crops. but this Is thought 20 le
the first time they have invaded this
locality.
There Is great hopes for these
farmers getting all the assistance
from Lubbock they want. as that Is
fine hunting place, and only few
hours drive from here, and this Is
the season that an appeal for assist
ance In such cases Ia gladly accepted,
not because they are glad the ducks
are menace, but because they are
given this opportunity to hunt un-
moles,ed IN the fields and lakes there.
Recent issues ~ the Avalanche
have carried news items Of the good
fortunes Of some Of our hunters and
that this rare opportunity IL present
ed them we are sure some mighty
good records will be made for shoot
ing in the very near future. and are
sure that the farmers of thEs place
will do all they can in helping make
their trips up there a. pleasant as
possible.
