THE SANDS OF LIFE

Sands may drift in the desert
waste,
Or rift on the ocean strand;
Sands may sift in the hour glass,
Or shift to the brook from land.
But never as fast as the sands

Make shift in the life of me;
Before the blasts of the sands of
strife

Speaking of kisses, (and who
isn't now-a-days?) here's hot one
from London, England: Sir Henry
Surtis Bennett recently promised,
Tor threatened,) while making a
CAM align for election to Pertinent,
that if elected he would kiss every
female in the voting district.
He was elected. There are &c.
269 women in the district who are
actual voters, and lot more who
didn't vote. Evidently an over
whening majority of them ex-
press ed their desire to be smacked
| by Sir Henry.
We wonder if there are enough
good lockers in the lot to make it
profitable for him to keep his
pledge!
And while we've started this
kissing subject consider the case
of Morgan Shelly, wealthy horse
dealer, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who
sued his wife for divorce be-
cause "SHE HAD RAISED THE
PRICE OF HER KISSES FROM
SIS TO So"
Shortly after he fled the suit
he was found dead in bed.
He is better off! (And that is no
joke, eitherD
And you don't have to go far
to find other females just like the
one who gave the horse dealer the
horse laugh.
Many who read this will recall
one in particular.
&s#*++
Which reminds us of the slow
boob riding on the train with his
girl They passed thru a tunnel.
"If | had known that tunnel was
so long would have kissed you,
he said with smirk as they emerg-
ed into the daylight.
"Well, who was that who DID
kiss me?" she gasped.
**+#s*
The moon is credited with eaus-
ing a lot of spooning and kissing in
its benevolent light. Scientists say
that there is no life on the moon.
Probably everybody kissed them
selves to death.

Kisses are sweet
Kisses are sour;
Kisses discreet,
Kisses of power.

Walsh said that In this movement,

that the National Association Of

''The activities of the pair took a

"The disclosures constitute the

When 1t comes to making the

The new reformatory at Pen
dleton must be finished.
The State is confronted with

better facilities in our higher
educational institutions.
Every official who handlss
public funds should be COM
PEELED to give a surety bond.
I recommend we neither de-
crease nor increase pay OF any
employe without approval of
the Governor.
The State tax law, in my
judgement. is the best the State
ever had,
Courts should revoke drivers
license for second offense Of
those found guilty of exceeding
the automobile limit.
1t should be mandatory for
courts to revoke license Of auto
mobile drivers speeding while
under influence of intoxicating
liquors.
Operation Of busses and
trucks should be regulated by
the public service commission.
Some remedy is needed for
the State primary law.
Prohibition is here to stay
