WHAT DO you WANT,

The other day the editor of an eve-
ming paper bemoaned the fact that
August is month without holi-
day, and said it ought to have holi-
day to stir things up during the hum
drum hot days of the month. Great
heavens, Mr.. Editor, don't you know
the primaries are August 10th, and
don't you think that is enough to
break the monotony of the month?
True, it is going to be hot for some
people, but don't you think, Mr.. Edi-
tor, there will be enough excitement
attached to the political derby to hold
us all for at least three weeks-when
comes Labor Day?

Successful driving-that is, driv-

driver fails to give a signal, and
another, assuming that he knows
the first mans purpose, guesses
wrong.
