The Amalgamated Society for the
Prevention of work had rush on
applications for membership this week
after reading story in the papers
wherein it stated that a faithful hus-
band who had worked for % years,
got no reward but kicks and cuffs
from his wife "Why work if it isn't
appreciated" Betty Dawson, one of
the Gold Dust twins of Harned's drug
store, said.
The news story carried several rea-

years, always turned over his pay
envelope to his wife, arose early to
cook his breakfast, did the shopping,
cooked evening meals, washed dishes
and did homework on occasions too
frequent to enumerate. For this he
received blows, kicks and whatnots,
and on one occasion had six shirts,
two suits of underwear, one necktie
and one suit of pajamas torn up when
she got angry.

She paints like Sioux Indian, sucks
cigarets in secret and drinks mean
corn liquor when she is out joy-riding

know how to cook, sew or keep house.
The house was newly plastered and
painted for the wedding, thus APP
propriately carrying out the decora-
tive scheme, for the groom was newly
plastered and the bride newly painted.
The groom wore a rented dinner
suit over athletic underwear of imi-
tation silk. His pants were held up
by pale green suspenders. His num-
Der eight patent leather shoes match
ed his state of tightness and harmon
lied nicely with the axle-grease polish
of his hair. In addition to his jag
he carried a pocket knife, a bunch OF
keys, a dun for the ring, and his
usual look of imbecility.
The bride wore some kind of a
white thing that left most of her legs
sticking out at one end and her bony
upper end sticking out at the other.
The young people will make their
home with the brides parents-which
means they will sponge on the old
man until he dies and then she will
take in washin'.

CAPT. E. H. HUGO

Much has been said and written in reference the
thrilling performance Of Capt, E. H. Hugo, but mere
words utterly inadequate in describing his feat
of reckless daring. ::
High up in the air on huge frame structure, the
top Of which is steep incline, this carefree dare
devil astride bicycle. madly down the deep
soping chute and taking off at the end, he precip-
tates himself and the wheel through space, passing
through blazing barrier Of flames in mid-air, to
land on a gentle slope a considerable distance away,
still seated on the cycle which he nonchaanty rides
away.
but none that could ever compare with the har-ra
ing performance Of Capt Hugo.

Facts About a Wedding

If editors told the truth at all
times, Scoop believes that the circula-
ton Of the papers would be increased
nightly. One editor from North
Carolina did tell the truth once about
a wedding which is printed below

be alarmed however, that we might
publish a similar story about local
couple. Scoop may know all about
you but he will keep it secret from

EXTRA WRONG FONTS
EVERYTHING in Readiness
By Scoop

More and more interest is being
manifest in the squatting contest
suggested by Harry Stemple, and be-
ing sponsored by Scoop, Col. Bell, and
The Republican, which is due to begin
on Saturday More than 461 people
have looked over the squatting field
at Sweeneys lot and a large number
are going to enter the contest. A
larger number, however, are not.
The additions thus far to those of
last week are Russell Brown, who
has been practicing squatting on Sec
ond street ever since the gas com
pany started laying new service lines;
Ed. Lawrence, Lloyd Shaffer, John 0.
Thayer, Jerry Stanton Berne Teter,
and Harry Edwards.
Bill Eggers had Berne Teter in
front of Doc Yutzy's jewelry store
Tuesday afternoon teaching him to
squat. Bill said that when Berne got
proficient enough he might practice
on Gonder's bench, but at the present
time he was nothing but a greenhorn
in the art. He didn't even know how
to sit properly on hot cement steps.
After an examination it was decid-
ed to disqualify J. B. Lipscomb, Bun
Nethkin, Judson Loar, Col. Bell. Gus
Delawder and Mike Liller because
the inspectors said their feet would
touch the ground when squatting, and
this would be considered too much of
an advantage.
Dave Walter Withdraws
In a telegram received by Scoop
through the postoffice department,
Dave Walter withdraws from the CON
test. The telegram follows
Dear Scoop:
1t is with deep regret that I will
have to withdraw from the squatters'
contest owing to the fact that l am
on the move looking after contractors
and Labor Day picnics Best regards,
Dave.
All others however, are practicing
daily to become efficient squatters and

Bell, shows Harry Edwards just get
