PHILOSOPHY

A AAAOON< n
By Uncle bud.
Uncle bud Says: "You can't tell
the age of a woman by looking at
her "bob"-from the rear. The
fellow who is born with = silver
spoon in his mouth quite often
chokes to death on it later"
Too often these days a public
office turns out to be private trust.
Love may make the world go
round but it's advertising that
brings it around.
A political platform is always
wonder in word construction-but
it doesn't mean anything.
The farmer is about the only
stock waterer who does not make
money by the transaction.
A great share of that which is
classed as good judgment is no
more or less than good guessing.
People who are inclined to be
ever looking backward should call
to mind what happened to Lots
wife.
If more people knew how to do
good job of keeping quiet, this
old world would sure be a grand old
place.
An exchange says that the boy
is the great problem of the day.
And here we have been figuring it
was hash
Tennis is about the only game
where you can have a peaceful
contest and still have several
"racquets"
There are a lot of magazine
stories that the readers would never
be able to understand if it were not
for the illustrations.
When trade starts slowing up,
many a business man tries to ac-
celerate the speed by putting the
brakes on advertising.
Briggs: 'Have you ever read
The Charge of the Light Brigade y
Jiggs: you bet. Last month
they charged me for fifty kilowatts
that ! never used.
One of the misfortunes of this
life is that the meanest people al
ways have the longest memories
and the longest tongues.
Home is a place where you can
take off your shoes without wor-
rying as to whether or not you
have hole in your sock.
Justice is not so blind after all.
An eastern judge has just fined a
bathing beauty for a costume that
was just too brief to be sufficient.
She: Words, you know, are
often used to conceal thought"
He: "Sure. But more often
they are used to conceal the absence
of thought"
Quite often man is accused of
marrying an heiress simply for her
money and later proves that this
must have been a mistake by get
ting rid of her fortune in jig time.
Uncle bud Says: "Many a success
full man ascribes his success to
pluck-but lot of US would like
to know where we are to find the
ones to pluck. A public speaker
usually has a large mouth, pre-
sumably because he so frequently
puts his foot in it.

 l. Your vote affects none but the citizens of the three districts and only gives them the privilege of voting the tax upon themselves.
 2. Town Creek has buih costly brick building to meet her growing needs. She owes heavily on the build ing. She is maintaining nine months accredited high school. Your vote and influence will help her in the strug- gle.
