column recently under the sigma

IL "a failure for a man because he
mortgages his future. hampers his

My goodness. George. some
woman serpent must have stung

his wife and promises her happi-
piness. and she says yes" isn't
she putting a mortgage upon her
life and future as well? And why
should marriage hamper q mans
present. just because he has to hold
the baby or NOW the lawn or per-
haps stay at home oftener? Doesn't
a wife sacrifice almost all Of her

spent a lot of time in the Philip

The other day Sam oiled the
floors. Bill objected. Not because
the radio machinery would be short

slipped up or the floor would be
short-circuited.
They had an argument. Bill
claimed that Sam seized the bolo

Sorry, But Not Our Fault

We do not know whose fault it
is that the list of managers for
the election was not sent to The
Journal. 1t belonged to voters
in this section and we suspose it
was unintentionally overlooked.
We wish to call the attention of
our county officials to the matter
of furnishing this paper as well
as the other papers in the county
with such matters as the public
has right to expect. Some of
our county officials overlook the
fact that this section has live
paper which supplies many hun
dreds of readers and that those
readers are-~oters' and have a
right to expect notices of court
meetings, jury lists, election no.
tees, etc., etc. The Journal does
not ask this for it's sole benefit
but for people who voted for
other people to serve them.
Their eyes are open.
