One thing we notice about the
new year, our pencil don't seem to
be out of AIS.
If you can't shoot a Jap, send a
shot One of our neighbors is sug.
give one days milk, or the amount
it brings to the government. One
hauler has agreed to haul that
days consignment The company
to whom he sells his been asked to
take it up with their haulers ans
customers. No doubt they will CO.
operate. After the Offering has
been made a list Of all customers,
with a star following the names of
all participating, will be sent out.

If we had any notion of telling
the dog warden that we had pur-
chased a tag for our pup when we
hadn't, we would have changed our
mind after seeing his record, which
he carries with him. You can lie to
him-but will soon show you
he knows it. All owners of tagged
dogs are in the record by town
ships, with the names arranged
alphabetically with the number Of
the tag.
If you missed seeing the jury
drawn Wednesday and get your
paper in time, come in this Thurs.

We Want To See Their Plank
When we hear mothers of our
soldier boys say when asked how
they feel about the war say "Give
me gun and l will go and help
| them,' we wonder what our law
| makers who talked and voted tC
hinder preparation will have to Of
| fer voters when they seek re-elec-
ton. We have also wondered how
| many of the aforesaid would be in
favor of doing away with our
guards-police force, of taking the
locks off their homes, buildings,
automobiles and so on. 1t seems
their plank will be a shaving.
We noticed by one of the papers
a little longer-women, a little
longer than men, which led us to
take a survey of Bristol folks,
wherein we found that there are So
residents who are 70 and over-28
men, 80 women We believe we are
correct when we say only four Of
the number are past 80. We have
forgotten the number listed in the
1910 roundup, but guess it was
somewhere around 700. If that be
correct about 14.7% of our popu-
lation have passed the three score
and ten.
One time we asked a friend if he
knew any news for our column,
when he replied "you might say
Mrs. So and So is SICK" when we
asked, Is she sick? he said, mo,
but she will be before the paper
comes OUT
1t seems no one but our in
formant and the scribe know about
the double wedding. OF course we
presume the parties concerned
know about it. While it would be
front page news, we pledged our
self. The more that ask us the cas-
ler it becomes to keep mum. We
hope they will send us some of the
cake-or Jack and Jill, Jerry and
10, or whatever they call those two
little folks that stand on the cake.
What we meant to say in last
weeks issue concerning dates on
tombstones, was 20 instead Of 2O%.
