HUNGER
CONTESTS


THE first thing a woman seems
10 do lately when she gets
sore at her husband is to 60 on
hunger strike. She opens her
heart and closes her mouth.
She spurns food like a seaslck
man in rocking chair.
She has an idea that Il she
fasts it'll make her. husband
hungry.
This is silly. a man can't set
thin if his wife diets for him.
One woman stayed sore at her
husband for six weeks and be
saved $50 on his GROCERY bill.
He refused to make UP with
her. He wanted to keep his ex.
penses down.
He came home every night
scared to death that she was go.
ing TO forgive him.
- 81 ~
An agreeable wife is more
pleasant but peeved one IS
cheaper.
The minute she begins talking
to you she starts costing money:
The silent ones are less ex-
pensive.
When woman hasn't eaten for
five or six days she's too weak 70
nag you.
OF course, a hunger strike is
very dangerous. Your wife il
liable to get so thin that her
clothes won't fit her and then
you'11 have to buy her new ones.
It's fifty-fifty. What you save
at the grOcer's, you lose at the
dressmakers..
And it costs you plenty 10 fat
ten her up again when she comes
off of her hunger contest.
4- Is > Y
One woman ended her food
strike at o'clock in the morn
ming. Her husband phoned to the
deIicatessen for SIG worth OF food
and had the fire department. de-,
liver it.
He even called an ambuIance
and met them half way.
There's nothing in the world
more pitiful than a woman with
wide open appetite.
If woman gets sore at her nus
band and wants to starve, that's
her business, but she shouldn't
change her mind after all the
grocery stores are closed.

in Rawlins for some time staying at
the court house, was run over by
a Dodge touring car about 4:2O

about ten miles an hour, on Cedar
street and was headed east. The boy
was walking north on Fifth street
toward Rendle's store and was about
half way across the street crossing
when another boy on a bicycle yelled
at him. The Clay boy turned around
and ran back across the street just
as Mrs. Browns a reached the
crossing. The front and rea wheel
of the car ran over the boys legs.
Clay got up after the car had ran
over him and started walking away
but in a few seconds he fell to the
ground and was picked up and taken
into Rendle's Drug store. He was
able to leave the drug store about five
minutes after the accident.

AUGUSTA ROTARY CLUB OBSERVES ITS
ninth ANNIVERSARY, FRIDAY evening

The Augusta Rotary club was in
Stltuted nine years ago on the 18th
of May. and at the regular meeting
of the club. held in the banquet hall
at the Augusta house, Friday eve
ming, program was carried out
which was in celebration Of the ap-
preaching anniversary, with talks by
several of the charter members
reminiscent of the past. The meet
ing was largely attended and most
interesting, with the recently elect
ed president, Everett v. Perkins,
presiding.
OF the charter list of members, &c
are members of the club at the pres
ent time. and at the call of President
Everett, all of the original members
present at the session last evening,
stood, while their fellow Rotarians
looked them over and accorded them
hearty tribute of applause. John E.
Nelson was the first president Of the
Augusta Rotary club, and Mr.. Nell
son was among those present for the
observance last evening.
Power S. Mooney, another of the
charter members, spoke briefly in a
reminiscent vein, telling of the be-
ginnings of Rotary in this city, and
touching upon some of the more
notable occasions in the history Of
the club since May ~, 1916.
DIR. Forrest C. Tyson, another
charter member and a past president
of the club. also recalled some of the
outstanding dates in Augusta Rotary.
DIR. Tyson declared that he objected
to the Characterization, Spirit of
Rotary" as spirit was something in
tangible, while to his understanding
Rotary was something very real and
definite, daily having it's beneficent
influence on the lives and actions of

the members and upon the COM
munity.
Another enjoyable feature of the
meeting last evening was the rendi-
ton of two flute solos by Carl
Schneider, son of Robert Schneider,
member Of the club. Mr.. Schneider
proved himself an adept player, and
his handling of a difficult compost
ton was revelation to his hearers.
The clear, liquid notes of the play
er's instrument carried to the far
corners of the big banquet hall, and
at the conclusion of his solo, Mr..
Schneider was given a rousing salvo
of appreciative applause. He was
accompanied on the piano by Rotar-
ian ]. Francis MacNichol, who ac-
corded the soloist splendid and SYM
pathetic support.
Arthur N. Soule, the immediate
past president of the Augusta club,
was unanimously selected to repre-
sent the organization at the Rotary
International convention which is to
be held this year at Cleveland, Ohio,
the middle of June. 1t was also
voted at the session last evening to
authorize the publicity committee to
have suitable sign-boards erected on
the main highways leading into Au-
gusta, carrying a Rotarian welcome,
and the time, place and day Of the
meetings of the Augusta club.
Rotarian George E. Macomber pre-
sented a brief and interesting report
on the charter night observance of
the Gardiner Rotary club, which was
sponsored by Roy Flynt of the Au-
gusta club. The chorus singing of
the Rotarians and their guests of
last evening, under the incompara-
BILE leadership of Musical Director
j. Francis MacNichol was easily an
other feature of the pleasant session.
