The person who inks us today is the sweet
thing of both sexes who chirrups "All right-ie"
at us when we express a wish or comanmd.
Judge Hardy gets $500 good will gift
from Aimee and then gets himself impeached.
Beware Greeks of women come bearing gifts.
Today's outstanding problem for a lot of
women is how to keep the growing-out hair in
sweet little ringlets about ffty-year old face.
The next fellow aim to shoot is the
columnist who makes a crack about the stock
markets that "faw down and go BOOM" That's

One just never knows what to do to be
safe. A Pennsylvania man refused to ride down
an icy hill for fear the car would skid and he'd
be hurt. An then he slipped and fell and was
seriously injured. Probably it's just as we'll

We sort of glad that Calvin Coolidge has
definitely announced that he will not practice
law. 1t is in keeping with the dignity of his
former office president of the United States

judge or jury. But that decision is going to
cost Cal pretty penny.
John Casey of the Jordan Independent wants
to know if the personal property tax list is
"comical regular tale" 1t is at least regular
so far as appearances goes, but we don't believe
it will ever get entirely out of the comical class
until the county assessor bill becomes law. It's

Henry Ford says that Thomas Edison, eigh-
ty-two, deaf and working twelve hours day is
the happiest man in the world. 1t is evident that
youth, physical perfection and leisure are not

We have heard lot the past several months
about beauty being "skin' deep" and "knee deep"

There is often lot of good common sense
and justice, plus judgment, back of the fool
nonsense Will Rogers slips to the public. A lot
of Wills stuff is just plain slush,written to
sell (which it does) but once in while he rings
the bell. For instance the other day he named
