inches tall. He has two little sons,
Philip and James, who are regular

"Wil I grow big and tall like pap

TOBACCO talk

Farmer Brown had a worried ap-
pearance as he went about his work
for, though corn planting was finish
ed and tobacco plants doing as well
as one had right to expect, his sup
ply of ready money was about ex-
hausted and there were necessities he
and his family must have, He had
never established real banking con-
nection and naturally hesitated to ask
for a loan.
Quite a contrast to his mood was
that of his neighbor Smith who, gaily
whistling, rode up on his sorrel mare.
Heard the news, Brown he shout
ed. and without waiting for reply
went on. The association is making
another payment on our tobacco next
Saturday and there is going to be big
celebration in town. Wen get as much1
as we did on the first payment. 7
"Hooray." shouted Brown. That's
great. 1t sure will come in handy for
me and the Missus, for We have been
going without things We needed for
some time"
mo reason for that" replied Smith.
why din't you go to the State Ma
tional Bank? Those fellows are al
ways ready and willing to help US
over the hard places"
II don't know much about banks but
I've been thinking l would start an

"She is wild about clothes. Did

The only difference between the nor

she steals them.
"She is boy-crazy. Did you ever
know a girl who wasn't? She may
cover it up-pretend that she is not.

G. 0. ?. MAY
GO TO COURT
OVER RETURNS

JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 1K-As
a result of an investigation of the
absentee ballots being conducted by
the secretary of state, several con-
tests and court proceedings may be
started by the Republicans, with the
purpose of retaining control of the
lower branch of the legislature.
Secretary Becker has wired county
clerks throughout the state, asking
them to preserve their records on the
absentee voting and to inform him
when the absentee ballots were mail
ed to them. The law implies that the
absentee ballots shall be mailed out
the day following the election, but in
formation received here is that in
many places they were received too
late to tabulate.
Unofficial returns complied by
Charles Fear, in the secretary of
states office, show that the next
house will be seventy-eight Demo-
Gratis and seventy-two Republicans.
If the official returns show that that
control of the house hinges on a few
votes, the Republicans probably will
take some action. Becker said to-
day he did not know what would be
done.
