THE EDITOR OF THE FUN
SHOP HAS SOMETHING TO
TELL STAR READERS

When we ask for original
and unpublished contributions
obviously we are not going to
accept old things. So why
should any one go to the trou-
BILE of sending them in, paying
for postage, etc?
There are any number of
bright things happening about
you which are original and which,
if accurately reported. will
bring you back interesting
checks.
Let's have those, plus any
real humor from your own
brain.
One other point: Unaccepted
contributions cannot be ac-
knowledged OF returned. We
get SO many contributions that
it is physically impossible to
maintain any correspondence
with readers. Therefore, do not
incloSe stamps.
Now. with these facts in
mind, go to it and let us have
all the new humorous gems
you create or which you hear.

The Civil Ceremony.

Well, here's our license, anyhow;
We two may live together
Beneath the laws protection now
In storm or sunny weather.
The rose-lit future is our own.
And ours the whole world wide,
And we who once faced life alone
Now travel side by side.
Yet in our heart of hearts we feel
No law can bring us nearer,
No outward symbol can reveal
a union closer, dearer.
Still there are those who never miss
A chance to raise holler.

Health Officer Fowler Issues His
Yearly Warning.

The time Is at hand for the first fly
of spring to sail down from the top
of the chandelier, where he has been
spending the winter, and stick his
feet in the butter.
Health Officer Fowler, archenemy
of this household pest, today urged
the housewife to take a swat
ter in hand and nail the first fly that
appears.
livery one you swat in May means
hundreds less to kill later in the
summer" the health officer pointed
out.
This being cleanup week, he also
advised the early installation of door
and window screens to keep out the
flies on the balmy days when win
doWs are thrown open.

In her innocence and ignorance Of
men and of life, she did not dream that

with guilt. She could not know that
her foolish escapade on that day was TO
