A REGULAR MOVIE STUNT

Plumber Harry Fehlberg and his
helper Henry Davis pulled off a stunt
a few days ago that is simply too
good to be passed up. 1t would do
credit to any slap-stick movie comedy.
They were putting up an extra large
but short heat pipe. One end had been
secured but the other end was loose,
and Davis was in the basement hold
ing up the other end balanced on his
head while trying to wire it in place.
Heat pipes are rather soft metal and
when Harry, entirely unaware that
Davis was holding the pipe with his
head. looked into it and saw the big
dent. he said some unprintable things,
went and got a heavy stove poker,
reached into the pipe and hit that
dent an awful whallop. The bump
on Davis head just about corresponds

pa,rolman Has Answer Ready

The life of a patrolman is no path
of roses. Last summer a small but
rather vicious storm swept part of
the Kickapoo valley and washed some
of the roads in pretty bad shape. Pa
troIman Geo. Miller Of Readstown was
out on his section Of road a few days
later, trying. to repair the damage
the unruly elements had caused, and
naturally not in the best frame OF
mind. when along came a party OF
lady tourists and stopped alongside
of him. One of the ladies in most
sarcastic tone of voice, said: Mr..
Patrolman, I'd like to ask you why
it is that you can't keep the roads
smooth down in this part Of the coun-
try" well, madam" says George
two weeks ago this road was as
smooth as a floor, so smooth in fact
that a party of lady tourists travel
ing along here were lulled to sleep by
its velvety smoothness and ran over
that bank yonder and two Of them
were killed, SO the state highway com
mission ordered me to make this piece
of road rough enough TO keep people
awake in order to avoid accidents"

CRIPPLES AND CRUTCHES

If you are not cripple, why do you
use crutches? | am glad to be able to
say that we have in Vernon county
some stalwart, able, competant, grow
ing teachers, teachers who are doing
all in their power to teach successful
school, teachers who prepare daily for
their work, and are anxious to know
more and better ways anxious to grow !;
for these we are thankful. They help
knock the dis out of discourage, and
thereby give courage to all / am sor-
ry that we have some professional
cripples among the teaching force of
our county. | have reference to those
teachers, who use the textbook as a
crutch to bolster themselves up before
a class, hSnds gripped and eyes glued
upon the textbook for questions and
to verify answers. Pulls realize that
such a teacher knows but very little
about the lesson, and they are not en-
Unused nor inspired by such a proceed
ure. Pupils cannot have respect for
the knowledge or ability of these text
book cripples. A carpenter prepares
for his task by sharpening his tools
before attempting TO work. Surely
teachers should not start upon the
daily task without daily preparation.
! maintain that for a teacher to at
tempt to teach without daily sharpen
ing of wits and preparation of lessons
is like carpenter attempting to do an
accurate piece of work with dull tools
and no forethought.
