BY T. MOSES JONES

And this is Friday the ninth, am
glad it is not Friday the thirteenth.
Now for several belated and delave j
thanks. Mrs. Sheriff E. p. Davis sent
Mrs. Jones and us boys some nice.

winch we have been most raptuously
devourlng. Delicious and refreshing
"Bounce you back to normal***G ood
to the last drop**"Not dough IN a
carload***All those slogans are indeed
most weak when it comes to correctly
describing that nice food
Miss Maggie Garrett, from GRASSY
Creek, brought us a turnip some DAYS
previous which was about five-eights
or more as large as my head. 1t was
enough for several meals, which
wasn't bad at all for one little
turnip. And ever since then I have
been singing, "Tiptoe through he
turnips with you" instead of "Tiptoe
through the tulips"

Nose was in a most bad-looking ply

Gary Burnette's wife, they both hav-

truly be P's, but half of that nice
sausage surely was NOT pepper 1t
had just the right amount, JUS
enough, and not a bit more Thanks

Yesterday I saw a highly exclibo-
rated-looking gentleman in town and
found him to be the most-extinguish-
ed son of Mr.. and Mrs. Kenneth f.
PARROT His name is E. L., Lawrence,
Larry, for short. He and his wife are
down from Port Jefferson, Long Is
land, New York. Larry hadn't been
down before in about four years, and
brought his wife for his folks to see
She was the former Miss Jane Bar
rott. I told Larry that that was
something fit for Robert Ripley, a
Mr.. PARROT marrying Miss Barrett
Larry was educated at the Dabney
high school, and used to enjoy the
pastime of tearing folks automobiles
all to pieces, and then putting them
back together again. And that beat
HumptyIDumpty. Then he finally
thought of turning his mind ELECTRICAL
ly, and he is now floor boss of the
big electric machines at the Port
Grain Company's great establishment
No, Larry did not sit down ard
"unlax" himself right out of his heart,
right down through my pencil, and
onto my paper. I had asked and re-
ceived several answers before he even
had an idea of what I was doing, and
then I enveigled the rest of it from
him before he had a good chance to
think.
That old saying, "a prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun-
try" seems to he tremendously 1x-
cepted in some instances, but lots of
folks have to go off, and far away
from home, to ever amount to a
whopping success. Slip over, Larry,
and make room for one more in New
York, Long Island, or somewhere. Old
Nose betninks that he might prove t
be smaller failure if he should go
off where he IS more less-ly known. :.
But I SUPPOSE if Larry told the
truth, he would say that this Nose
would be more of fit subject for the
Kings Park hospital, or whatever is
The correct name of that hospital for
the minus minded folks with a great
amount of mental disability.
But no jokes, was pleased to see
Lawrence again. And yesterday /

NUMBERS CASE
GOES ON TRIAL

Robert Henry Williams, colored,
25-year-old former kitchen helper
at Walter Reed Hospital, went on
trial before a jury and Justice
Joseph w. Cox in United States
District Court today on the first
indictment based on the new anti
numbers-game law which makes
possession of numbers slips prima
facie evidence of felony.
Williams was arrested April 9
at the hospital after a member
of the provost guard had observed
his actions for a long time. At
the time of his arrest he had con-
cealed about his person numbers
slips, according to police, and
more than $50 in cash.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John FINELY, who prepared
the indictment, included a misde-
meanor count based on the old
law, which was not repealed When
the new act was passed. Williams
is represented by Attorney Denny
Hughes. ., ....

Despite Huge Debt

GN.S) Despite the national debt of than $751;
OOOOOOOOO the Treasurys credit better today than
at any time in history.
This evidenced in striking fashion with the

regular shortterm securities issue of $5000O000 for
all-time record low interest rate
The majority of these securities which mature in 81
days sold to eager investors interest rate of
29 900 of per cent This breaks record set week ago
when the Treasury sold similar issue for interest rate
of 33-1 900 of l per cent
So great the demand for the securities that one
bidder offered to pay the Government 81 if would bor-

Many corporations maintaining large cash balances bid

Government securities than keep the the banks
In addition, such investments exempt from all taxes
