OFF DAYS
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

EVER have 1t happen, toof
- OF days ever come to you
When you say the foolish thing.
Specialize In laundering?
That's the day have today;
Ev'rytning / do and say
In some weak and foolish way.
There are days a fellows head
Acts like ivory or lead
When the things you. say, by far,
Make you worse out than you are,
When the things you tell the rest
Make yoL look your foolishest,
When you want to look your best.
It's the day you make mistakes.
Blunders, fumbles, silly breaks,
It's the day that often comes
When your fingers all are thumbs,
Dropping ev'ryN throw to first
For man is often cursed
With a day he's at his worst.
Well, IL such days come to you,
Just remember others. too,
Have an off day now and then;
Just remember other men,
Like yourself, get off their game
Be little slow TO blame,
Knowing you are much the same.

Tying in Spring Leaves
Will Prevent Spreading

Since the leaves in a spring have a
tendency to spread apart, it is often
hard to replace the spring tie-bolt in
autos or trucks.
The easy way is to grip the head of
the tie-bolt in wise, and put all but
the last four leaves one on top of the
other. The last four leaves are put on
crosswise. or spread around like the
ribs Of an umbrella, which allows the
nut to be easily started on the bolt.
With the nut on the bolt. swing the
bottom cross leaf into place. Then
each succeeding leaf will slide easily
Into position. Then tighten the tie
bolt nut OF course, the clamps on
each end will have to be removed I'M
til the spring Is assembled.

ADVANTAGE OF SMALL PAPERS

From an ethical standpoint it can
be claimed that the country press and
small city dailies have a marked ad.
vantage over the big metropolitan
newspapers.
The smaller papers are conducted
by their owners who are personally
known to the people and business
men of the community and read in
nearly every family.
The owners, editors and publish
ers are freer to express their honest
convictions than the highly CONNER
cialized city press, too often run by
hired employees, principally to earn
dividends.
The small daily or country weekly
that lives up to its opportunities rep
resents the stand of personal Jour-
nalism in behalf of the community.
AS long as the small city dailies
and country weeklies remain true to
their best traditions, with their edi-
rails devoted to constructive policies,
their influence in journalism will in
crease.

HOW DRY 1 AM SUNG TO BRYAN

William Jennings Bryan enjoyed a
joke even at his own expense. At a
Chicago dinner, the song-eader of the
club entertaining Mr.. Bryan said
that 'ir consideration for our hon.
ored guest, a prohibitionist, we will
refrain from singing How Dry !
Am"
Mr.. Bryan summoned the song
leader and whispered in his ear. The
song-leader then announced:
"Mr. Bryan requests that we sing
it. and suggests that those sing first
who have been dry longest"
When he was given the floor, Mr..
Bryan said he was glad the eigh-
teenth and nineteenth amendments
had changed the complexion of polit-
ical meetings.
I'VE see red cheeks where before
we saw red noses" he said.
On another occasion, he accompa-
MED DR.. Clarence Edward MacCart-
ney, former moderator of the Pres
byterian Church, to a gathering OF
students at Mccormick Theological
Seminary here. Mr.. Bryan was in
troduced as having been persuaded
to speak. He promptly took excep-
ton to the word persuaded
"If / had not been asked IN
speak, l should have asked for the
privilege" said Mr.. Bryan.
Vice President Charles G. Dawes
recently recalled that in their youth,
he, Bryan and John ]. Pershing, ate
at the same lunch counter in Lin
coin, Nebr. Measured by dwellings,
Bryan was the "plutocrat" of the
three. said Mr.. Dawes, occupying his
own house, while Pershing paid $40
a month for room over a store.
