"Back in my old district" says Nc
Whorter, they'll tell you that maybe
1 didn't hold all the records, but 1
held most of them. Those were the
days when they used to go in for those
things and a man who could stand on
one leg longer than anyone else in the
county was rewarded as he deserved" !"
1t was with great reluctance that
the modest McWhorter was finally
prevailed upon to describe some of his
featS and then only because it was
pointed out to him that his words
might be an inspiration for the coun-
tryS youth.
Senator Cuts Loose
when I was boy of ten," began
the senator, II was only old enough
for few of the contests and was
forced to gaze with envy at the cham
pion oyster eaters, mirror readers, pin
savers and candle chewerS as they
strutted around the streets of our
town. I made up my mind that I,
too, would get my name into the week
ly paper.
Despite the scoff1ng of my friends
and family, finally began in a small
way by entering skootching tourna-
ment. I Skootched down and stood up
4,558 successive times, taking the
championship away from grown
man who had held it in those parts
for six years. The erstWhile scofferS
carried me around on their shoulders
and my parents admitted for the first
time that I might some day amount
to something
'The next year I had the nerve to
try to rob my Aunt Fanny of what
was known as the strip-cutting cham
pionship. This sport, open to both
sexes, was to see who could cut out
the most full-length strips from a
page. I was counted out
in the championship contest because
some of my strips were so thin the
committee couldn't quite discern them,
so that my Aunt Fanny held the title
as long as she lived, along with the
string saving championship, which I
never tried to take away from her"

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
1T ISN'T so BAD IN THE CITY

1T ISN'T so BAD IN THE CITY
1t isn't so bad in the city,
Though the heat waves may pulsate
and throb,
And the sun may glare down with a
sinister froWn,
| If you just keep your mind on your
job
Discomfort is easy to tighten
On the hottest and muggiest day,
If you will not recoil from the notion
of toll,
But simply keep pegging away.
It isn't so bad in the city,
No matter how torrid the spot
pointment with sleep
If you only won't THINK it is hot.
Affections are worse than we fancy,
You'll find, as general rule,
When you seek your repoSe op warm
evenings close
Just try to imagine it's cool.
1t isn't so bad in the city,
There are fans to keep stirring the
air,
And. ice that will clink in long cool
ing drink
AS you sit in comfortable chair
There are thousands and thousands of
people
Who dwell there, the whole summer
through,
And who never complain or repine at
the strain,
And so if you tried to, could you.
It isn't so bad in the city
AS it is on the African veldts,
Some people declare with a positive
air
That they wouldn't live anywhere
else;
But if 1 could leave it this instant
Forever, certainly would.
1t isn't so bad in the city,
And also it isn't so good!

Since 1873 the linoleum in
dustry has grown so great that
today over 100000, 900 50.
yards are sold yearly. Yet
Linoleumville has remained
the shrine of the Enoleum ir-
dustry in America. In the fac
tories where Wild's Linoleum
is made, practically every great
advance in inoleum manufac-
t1re was originated. Here
Straight Line Inlaid Linoleum
was invented. Here Battleship
Linoleum was created. Here
was conceived the first Parquet
Inlaid Linoleum showing the
true wood graining.
As a result Wild's has re.
manned for 81 years Americas
pre-eminent linoleum. "Wild's
for Wear" is a slogan coined
by dealers to suggest Wilds
quality. "Wild's for Beauty"
is a slogan which users have
adopted from experience. AS
good as Wild's," an apologize
phrase sometimes heard, en-
phasizes the recognition of
Wild's as the standard.
Recently a great variety of
new Wild patterns have been
introduced.

France, and one of the outstanding

absent minded.
His friends tell this story on Pain
leve: Edouard Herriott, now minister
of public instruction, ex-premier, who
also is recognized as having one of
the best minds of France, received
an invitation to dinner from Pain
leve. The latter, on receiving Her.
riot, expressed his pleasure, and the
two statesmen, engaged in Gus

talk dr.fted from the political stu
alton to the Einstein theory; came
nine o'clock, ten, eleven. Herriott
by this time was ravenous, and ex-
ploded:
But, Monsieur lie President, I
thought you invited me to dinner"
Painleve was astonished: "Why, 1
forgot \al1 about dinner, and, let me
see, there is nothing prepared. But
come, we will find something"
And the two statesmen went to the
kitchen and prepared an improvised
meal, mostly consisting Of eggs, wine
and bread.
