wiser and instructor, in many of the

Griffin is an enthusiastic booster for
the club.
"I'm surely glad the boys won," he
said. "They are the fellows we older
exhibitors must get behind and push
for all we are worth, because they
will be showing prize-winning stock
in the future that will surpass any
shown by US. In doing that they will

How Her Hubby
Taught Her The
Art of Driving

luS DuI very fascinating Occupation
Having just recently learned to curl
the beast" not from hubby, how
ever-bless your heart, he doesn'
know a clutch from a differential-
but we did learn to drive, and VIZ
can heartily appreciate Mrs. Tooth
aker's mingled feelings as she pen
ned these lines:
Yes, l suppose you'll have to drive
But right now l can tell
That We'll not get there. Turn tha
key!
You'll ditch us sure as-Well,
Why don't you feed a little gas?
Advance that spark. Look here!
How often have l told you to
Be sure she's out of gear?
Step on the starter o, hold on
You'll flood her sure as fate
You'll never learn to shift the gear
Just hear the blamed thing CRATE.
Now, throw her in reverse. Watch
Quit
Don't try to turn too soon;
You'll hit the door. Yes, kill her
now!
Well not get out till noon.
Well we'll, we did get out at last.
Let's see now if you know
Enough to start I doubt it, but
Well throw her into low.
Don't push that clutch so far. Uwish
That women had some sense.
Now let her out. Gosh! Not so fast!
And watch out, there's a fence!
Now change her quick! Shut down
your gas!
Yes-try to start on high,
I knew you'd miss. Don't race her
sol
Well now you let her die,
You'll never learn to drive a car;
I've always told you so.
Well let's Just sit here. Wake me up
When you decide to go.
Why Are we going somewhere?
Myl I've had a nice long nap.
What time is it? Don't try to hold
That handbag on your lap.
Don't turn so short. Give me that
wheel
Too bad-you missed rock
The first you haven't hit. Change
gears
Some time within block.
Well, well, you did get into high
For once without a clash!
Keep in the road Don't turn out
there.
That curb is hard to smash.
Speed up little Not so much.
Stop! Don't you see those cars?
Throw on your brake and use your
head
And honk your horn. My stars!
Now use your eyes and watch that
rut.
Don't turn the wheel so far.
o, let me drive or Wen not have
A tire left on the car.
Watch out! Your headed for that
pole
You can't go up. I'll bet.
I'll have to get the little boat
Equipped with climbers, yet
Now tend to business. If you're
bound
To keep the drivers seat,
You'll have to learn that you can't
bow
TO everyone you meet.
Now don't obstruct the highway
You'll
Get pinched for speeding. There!
Wake up and move! Step on the gas
The thing can't run on air!
Now see if you can turn around,
And get US home alive.
l doubt it, What? Your head aches?
Well, you'd better let me drive.

mansion. In the opinion Of the girls
this was the crowning event of their
stay. The princesses chose a novel
way Of greeting Mrs. Erickson by
serenading her upon their arrival at
the mansion. At three o'clock yester-
day afternoon the princesses were pre-
sented to the visitors at the Fair
grounds. Last evening they were
dinner guests Of the Northern Pacific
railroad in the dining car at the sta
tion.
Two of last years princesses, Miss
Alma Huber of Lewis and Clark
county and Miss Emma Smith, prin-
cess from Phillips county, greeted the
1926 court at the reception.
The racing program was carried out
the first two days of the fair. Tuesday
night the Governor issued an injunc-
tion to prevent pari-mutuel betting
and the operation of pari-mutuel ma
chimes, thus taking away the biggest
attraction for many people, tho 1t is
probable the races will take place, as
in previous years without the gamb-
ling booths.
