Italy makes you the worst possible
insurance risk. To mildly criticise
Stain in Russia gives employment to
a firing squad. So it goes in Poland,
Rumania, Spain, Austria and else
where.
In this country people have been

Wood Cutter De Luxe
You've probably heard before about
me being a gentleman farmer. Well,
that isn't all 1 am. 1 am also a wood
cutter deluxe. If you don't believe
that ask "Stanus" Whipkey. He's the
one 1 borrowed the sledge from. And
if he likes the new handle I got him
(the old one just seemed to break
somehow he should agree with this.
The reason goes back to mid-sum-
mer and a thunderstorm. Otherwise
my hands would still be as lovely as
those of the clerks in town, minus
their colored brass polish and arti-
fetal nails.
At any rate there was the tree the
next morning, down for the count. 1
formed a salvage corporation of one
and being wise in the ways of thrift
ness, prepared to tear it limb from
limb, for firewood this winter.
1 could have easily gotten the
necessary amount of wood for $3.50,
but I'd do better than that. I'd get it
for nothing, and apply the money on
paying for the last family addition,
new tires for the car, red woolens for
this winter, or buy a piano. Always
looking into the future.
Then I started. After thirty even
ings and one or two afternoons of
slipping from the office summed up
as follows:
Hired help, $1.25; sharpening axe,
.35; pair gloves, .25; personal labor,
at soc. per hour, 5000; mending torn
trousers, rs; mercurochrome for in
jured toe, scratches on arm and brok-
en- blister on hand, .25; resharpening
avo 26-to+a1 60 6n
And 1 hadn't begun to split it yet.
So after twenty more evenings 1
added a few more items: more person
al labor at 80, $500; 1 wedge, so;
axe and wedge got tangled up
through slight error in calculation, re-
Suit, resharpening of wedge and axe,
10; slight error in calculation in
striking wedge, resulting in cracked
handle, resulting in tinker tape, which
repairs "most everything" .25; an
other slight error in calculation, in
jured toe and entirely new sledge
handle, .95; another slip, another
scratch, another pair of pants to re-
pair, .50;-total $3.50; grand total,
$20.80.
And that didn't count wear and tear
on Scoop Himself, which included
numb hands, callouses, loss of so even
ing meals eaten in leisure, and worry
about Brother Whipkey's sledge han
die.
All of which doesn't need an account
ant or auditor to discover that there
was a net loss somewhere along the
line. And all have to show for my
expense is the wood and one badly
damaged wedge, one broken sledge
handle, and experience. But experience
is grand thing.
