Gee. girls, have you seen the
purity pottery in our window? In
the last week we have had more
lady customers than we have
had in the last month. I've no
ticed that since me and Bob
have quit cusSin', business Is
better. Now if Murfin would
quit, everything would be O. <.
You know I amt cuSSed Tor an
ellova long time. Some ladies sed
that Mike cussed a lot. Some OF
these ladies that sed that smoke
a lot an I don't smoke, so were
even. 90
I see in the Helena Werld
Herald Paper that Dan Maddox
is in the hospital. You know Dan
had better get out soon because
Dan is about the only real friend
that the old folks have in Mon
tana. If about 4 or 9 other
guys in Helena wood do as much
about the Ole Age Pension as
Dan does they wood get some
place. AS it is Dan seems to be
doing a good job. You know
Dan don't know that I'm sayln'
this about him or he shure
would raise heck. I've never to!e
him a nice thing in front OF his
face so I mite as well talk 70
his back.
Matt Calderwood is bossin'
the plummers that are build
ing the new millyon doller Nor
thern hotel in Billings.
Well, we're all gittin our beets
out. If we gittem out I kin stay
in the furniture business for
another year. You know lotta
people say it's the beets that
keep Hardin goin, some say it's
the sheep an cattle that keeps
Hardin movin' and some say its
the alfalfee seed that does it. 7
myself don't think that eny one
alone does it, but all together
| they make it better. The sugar
beets alone do not make Har-
din. Boy, but they shure help.
Elmer Skeie the new school
Supt. shure seems to be a swell
guy. va know for a big shot he
amt a bit Swelled up or nuthin'.
He talks to anybody, even me.
va know some big shots kinda
git the big head after they have
a purity good job. That's one
thing about the Hardin big shots
most of them know everybody
and they know that it doesn't
cost anythin' to say Hello.
Purity darn soon people will
start running for election jobs
again. I don't know what job
to run for this time. They have
2 real good guys for the Justice
of the peace office, so there is
no use runnin' for that job.
John Rice is the State represen-
tative and I could run for that
job but he mite beat my ears
off, so I'll pass that up. Then
the Sheriff'S job is a good one
but who in the heck kin beat
a guy like Henry Ulrich. Then
there is the State Senator's job
but Dan Maddox is safe for 2
more yeers. va know if Dan was
runnin' agin he wood make it
alrite-one reason is the old age
pension. The County School
Supt. job will be run for agin
and I would run for that job
but they say you gotta have a
degree (Whatever that is. I
think that means that you have
to have went to colledge for 4
years. If that's the case, maybe
they won't have many runnin.)
That lets me out. I only went
through the 3rd grade. Bob Ross
can keep his recorders job. A
guy that runs against him is
lost before he starts. Harry Cox
is safe in his job. Sam Cum
ningham is assessor and you
know his job has too many
headaches for me. The job I
would like to have is the Treas
urers job. Gee I'd like to have
the money rollin' thru my fling
ers once. Oh boy I bethca they
wood have me pinched for en-
beSSling or something. Money
shure sticks to my hands easy,
I'm honest alrite but money is
a weakness with me Then there
is one more job I'd like to have
but the guy that has it seems
to be the best bet. That's Mr.
Lynde's job. va gotta be smart
to be a County Commissioner an
I amt very smart. Junk dealers
lie too much TO be smart.
We are paying SOC each fol
old Junk batteries, if whole. We
also buy iron, mixed, l ton OF
a carload.
If you have any old copper
brass, aluminium, lead, car ra'
diators, etc., bring 'em in anc
get cash-no coupons. Who say!
we aren't Jews
