Still the .qiiips come. Every mai
brings another basketball. The Quiz
Editor has missed out on radio pro
gramsg for more than a week, trying
to redd the many interesting letters
that accompany the quips.
The big contest is getting more spir.
tied every day. 1t begins to look as
though y is almost impossible to write
CLASSIFIED ad "quip-proof. The fans
are making quips out of the most in
Hocent appearing ads in The Light and
most OF them are good quips, roo.
The Quip Editor is having n mighty
good time these days. The smile that
won't come off Is the sole property OF
the Quip Editor. Some Of the qufps
are sosmirth-proveking they are really
classics in their line.
YOAKUM GIRL WINNER.
Thesfirst winner of nice new dol
lar bill in today's mail is q Yoakum
resident Miss Mary Prince. Mary Sc
lects this adj:
EIGHT acres improved farm. house,
iishts.s good weli, partly Irrigated. bear
hive bees, six miles from city.
Mary AYERS that while she knows a
lot about agriculture, she never heard
OF a well being partly irrigated and
bearing peeans, and she also is puzzled
to know why a hive of bees should be
kept Just six miles from the city.
Mafy, you've got that ad all wrong.
We kn0w that this is q mighty good
farm with a good well of water on it,
suitable for partly irrigating the farm
and we would sure like TO have a few
OF those pecnns that the owner is grow
ing out there. AS for the bees. Mary.
they Keep them sir miles away so
they won't bite meddlesome city kids.
and the Qhip Editor, having inspected
bee hive once personally, believes it
is good idea TO keep bees at least
six miles away at all times.
PERSISTENCE REWARDED.
Anyhow, Mary. you win a dollar,
and as you live in Ypakum, the Quip
Editor IL m.iling it to you. Hope Won
buy aSnice Christmas gift with that
dos.:-.H
Driskell Roberts, 1874 West Kings
highway, is another quip fan, who is
awarded n dollar today.
Driskell spent almost an entire af-'
ternoon going over the classified pages,
seeking duips. He personally brought
three or four of them down to the
Quip Editor TO be sure they were read.
but tkey couldn't pass muster, and
Driskell didn't get one Of the new
rispygreenbaeks stacked on the Quip
Editors desk.
But here he is right back again to-
dag with another quip and it is
good one, so the Quip Editor is going
to reward hiS persistence and bard
work with n riicc, new dollar bill. Call
for it, Driskeif at the classified coun-
ter Of The Light and don't spend il
all in one place at one time.
This is Driskell's quip:
TWO comfortably furnished rooms
meals near S. L. Depot. Ideal for rail-
road man.
Driskell wants to know II the poor
railroad man has to go TO the s. r.
depot for his meals IL he rents the
furnished rooms. You're mistaken
about that, because we are sure the
ad writer intends to state that the
rooms are near the \. z. depot, con-
veniently situated for n railroad man
who is liable to be called by the "cnll
boy" any hour Of the day or night.
Likewise the meals are good and served
right in the same place where the
rooms are situated. Anyhow. Driskell.
call and get your dollar. You've earned
IT.
