NATURE Is CONFUSIN'

In CASE you amt acquainted with the armadillo,
Il will explain it. 1t is sort of possum with
quonset hut built over its back.
You can make a basket out of an arnadiuo she'll
removn the armadillo an bendin the tail over for
handle.
The armadllo lives in Texas an other unlikely
places He is no more agile than porcupine an can
be compared in intelligence to the mole or the loon
There's reason for givin' you this nature
lesson. Horseneck Sholtz, the stump-jumper
for the phone company, was sent armadllo
basket by"a fellow he met last summer. He
brought it in to ask me an Jake what it was
There amt no such animal. Horseneck says when
we tell him. Besides if there was, he lived in pre-
historic times amongst savages an cavemen."
You better not let no Texans hear you sayin
that Jake advises him. They are very sensitive
about their ANCESTORS"
This guy that sent him to me wasn't no Texan"
Horseneck protests. "He lives in Ioway"
''WAsN'r your wife, Annie, bonn in Texas?" Jake
asks Horseneck
Yeah" he says. but Annie was raised in Dallas
You gotta have town with open saloons before you
see critters like this roan the streets offered this
corrugated turtle to her sewin basket. She says
woman likes to be diferent-but not thai different
"Shucks." tell him. I'm New England people use
quahog shells for pin trays"
e. An in California they keep their soap in an
abalone SHE'LL" Jake adds.
''What's a quo o-hog?' Horseneck asks.
''Wcll," says Jake, ga quahog is sort of a
double-deck abalone.''
AN what is an abalone?" Horseneck asks
oh. he's all muscle an no mind" I explain
Hangs onto a rock"
Look. you guys says Horseneck Il know when
I'm bein' kdded. This basket was doubtless thought
up by some enterprisn plastic-nakin outfit who got
the idea out of bottle of corn juice My Ioway-born
friend said they got ways now to turn corn into
almost anything!' -WhllY bOREN

LABOR LEGISLATION

ONE of the masterpieces OF
the 80th Congress was the TAFT
Hartley law. The law was the
answer to the prayers of the
Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers. Its
first year of operation proved
that it was even more deadly
in it's assault on unions than
predicted by organized labor.
The a0th Congress also passed
the porial-to-porfal bill, throw
ing out U. s. Supreme Court
ruling and weakening the saruc.
ttare of the ge-hour act. Por-
sal-to-Poraal robbed workers of
naillions of dollars in pay for
time washed by companies
The Congress refused TO raise
minimum wages, although costs
of living had nearly doubled
since the Wage-horT admnaistra-
ton was set UP. The minimum
wage bill which came nearest
to passage was the BAH bin
which would have increased the
minimum to about Csc per hour
but as a price for the increase
would have wrecked the 40
hour week,
Mine safety legislation was
ignored. Also forgotten were

Surprise Raid
Made On Joint

Another surprise raid was
pulled on the Noble junction
joint at Bailey'S Mills, Saturday
night but this time three law en-
forcement officers of the state
liquor department were at the
helm.
1t is said that several quarts
of whiskey and wine were con-
fiscated and the alleged owner,
Charles Millhone, brought to
Caldwell and lodged in the local
Jail.
He was arraigned before May
or S. M. Secrest and given a fine
of 5000 and costs, plus six
months in Jail. The Jail sentence
was suspended when Millhone
paid the fine and was released.
The officers were accompanied
by Prosecuting Attorney Leo
Carter. This is the second raid
to be pulled at Bailey's Mills in
the past two weeks, Sheriff
Clayton Mckee having headed
the first delegation.
The state liquor officers also
made similar raids in Barnes

In GAINESVILLE

A 1887 Plymouth, stolen three
weeks ago from Ray Hoag, was
recovered in GAINESVILLE by Off
cials of that city, while Sheriff
Clayton Mckee was in Kansas to
return Jack Loundy to this city
to answer charges for the theft.
Loundy, who married a Sharon
girl but who resides in Manhat-

thing to do with the theft of the
car and the owner refused to
press charges.
Loundy said that hitchhiker

it in GAINESVILLE, where it. re-
mained on a side street for two
weeks, before officials in that
city found it.
The car was not damaged.

This condition defied all treat
