and spent all of his time in, under or
near Docs automobile, except for an
occasional trip abroad"
The Quality Hill rascal who does
all this poisoning will get caught yet.
When he is caught, it would give me
pleasure to put just enough strych-
nine in his meat or ground glass in
his food to let him know what it feels
like.
Two years ago, June 81, at 1927 p.
M, was pronouncing 81 Will" with
meaning. After two years of the
double harness, l can still recommend
it strongly.
"Wait until you have celebrated the
9th one," said one of the drug store
regulars, and it sounded. just bit
sarcastic. All l have to say is that
q years is long wait. A lot of
people are just waiting for my recon-
mendation to swerve their judgment.
One fellow l talked with yesterday
wants to get chat way" but likes to
start out on more than just nerve.
Another who now has his second an
nounces that he is ready for the third.
So go ahead. But mind you, no fair
running to this column about all your
little troubles. My responsibility ends
with this recommendation.

My kitchen pests of several weeks
ago have departed, and 1 don't know
whether it was because of the frost
or because they read County Agent
Carter's article in The Republican on
how to get rid of them, and didn't
want to chance it there any longer.
Anyway Pm glad. Step-ants never
would have liked it out there in the
country as a permanent residence.
The Swallow Falls reforesters like
Bill Turney's cooking so well that it
caused a near riot down there last
week when he was transferred to the
Green Ridge camp in Allegany county.
The foresters placed logs in the road
and hollered mo cook, no work." and
would have raised quite stir if the
officers hadn't appeared in all their
artillery and quoted things down. AS
it was, the pot almost boiled.
And speaking of the reforesters,
some of the boys from Baltimore are
kicking because it is too cold at night.
I'll bet there are many people in the
cities who would gladly trade their
nights with them.
And now comes the report that
Governor Richie got quite a combing
from President Roosevelt for bring
ing on the bank holiday and its sub
sequent difficulties.
And speaking Of the Democratic adj
ministration, a news item the other
day stated the national deficit was
larger by two billion dollars that it
was year ago. You can't balance a
budget by cutting forty thousand
from one item and adding a million
somewhere else.
And who might the lady be across
the street with the very expensive
garb? Now don't contradict me,
please, because 1 know expensive
garbage when l see it.

The old car gets new squeak
every day. Next thing III get me a
boss. A boss has all the latest i'm
provements the auto manufacturers
have been blowing about for the past
few years. She's got a elf-lubricat-
ing chassis, permanent body finish,
waterproof covering, self adjusting
springs, automotic danger signals,
bumpers fore and aft, steers by hand,
foot or sound, and body squeaks are
most uncommon. She largely collects
her own fuel, grows her own tires
and inner tubes, jumps fences with
out wrecking, fords rivers without
stalling her motor, and she doesn't
take water on every mountain. She's
good for 20 years service, her lines
are never out of style and when she's
! finished she has produced boss colts or
mule colts to take her place. She
never has her oil changed and doesn't
need to be CREASED every 500 miles.
Of course the speed isn't everything
to brag about, but who's got money to
take a trip anyway?
There is certainly something very
peculiar in the losses reported during
the past week or two of flowers and
shrubs from lawns of local people.
