play of the decade. It seems that
in front of a vast audience of all
the neighbors Lynn had difficulty
with the sky rockets. The trough
it seems was not to be focused pro-
perly. Skyrockets went scooting
back at Lynn, catapulted straight
for the barn, scooted sizzling down
the alley and otherwise made pre-
sence there unsafe. It's so darn
uncomfortable watching fireworks
from the rather lowdown position
of flat on the stomach. Yet I'll bet
that's where I'd have been.
Life's Little Irony-There's the
story this corner can't help passing
along because it's just one Of
those ironies. A certain local lady,
who is much inclined to rouse her
self out of a peaceful slumber to
go to a fire, was cut out lately
when the fire was just across the
street-and she was, Of all places,
in the bathtub. Which may be an
argument against the traditional
Sattidy Americanism 49,.
Bitsies-They tell the story Of
how Hans the tailor came to this
country from Norway unable to
speak a word of the language. So
he hooked up with a fellow on the
boat who came with him as far as
Chicago. This learned one could
order pork and beans in English,
and he taught the order to Hans.
After he left Hans, the story goes
that the tailor lived on the darned
vegetables for three weeks before
he could order anything else 4.
While hot weather hasn't set in,
some Of the boys are being pre-
pared. Doc Franta has rugged up
one man air conditioning unit
that utilities a car heater. He runs
cold water through the radiator
and the fan behind pushes the cool
air throughout his office. Says on n
hot day he can lower the temp
about degrees And the post
office gang, seeking relief, have
cut a hole in their floor and with
fan suck the cool zephyrs out Of
the basement into their working
quarters :. Wrong Number: Lady
| called up the Herald Sattidy morn
and ordered a loaf Of bread and a
bottle Of milk. And before an ex-
PLANTATION was forthcoming bang
went the receiver. Hope she got it
! all right, but we were fresh out &.
Heard on the street with two kids:
said one to the other, Gould you
throw a golf ball a half miller" Lit
tie man, you're going to have a
busy day :.
Punches-There's a sign in the
p. o. that reads-If you throw
cigaret butts in the wash bowl at
home. be sure to do 1t here.

dy noon as mercs prepared for a
busy 4th weekend banks were out
Of one dollar bills. When this cor
ner cashed his check he took the
last dollar bill in the bank. The
rest was all in the business houses
Fresh from the Shrine conven-
ton in Detroit last week, Badly
Forsberg might go on record as
favoring that two weeks vacation
| following vacations. Just to rest
up on you know. Badly, by the
by, told us he had the opportunity
to jine up with the uniformed
band Of Zuhrah Temple and hop
off to Los Angeles next year when
the Mobiles conclave again :. Nice
work, Merrill -.
So leave you my readers, both
Of you, with this little bit. AS use
less as a columnist's wallet and
as flat as his head. SEE you!
