FRIDAY: Foxhunted in the morn
ing, too windy, several trails
started, but the wind blew out the
scent, knocked off at noon and ken
neled the dogs. Wyatt Bates and
Jake Carpenter called on us, the
wife, Marie, and son, Sid. Wyatt
called for some of his clocks Sid was
repairing. Jake reports his fast gip
foxhound caught very skinney red
fox one day last week. This must
have been the shadow Of a fox my
dogs holed along with a coon not
so long ago. Jake viewed the prom
ising foxhound pups in the B. H.
kennels. He liked the one with the
black markings the best. Jake re-
ported he and Miles Hannahs will
bring their fast dogs sometime soon
and join US in a chase.

SATURDAY.: A gent by the name
of Archer was in these parts, taking
subscriptions for the Cambridge
Jeffersonian. Dallas Bond payed a
call on Oak Hague, the visit was in
regards old and new business. There
are strong winds on the hills in these
parts.
Paragraph Point" 1t is difficult
to find a clever man who is not too
clever. Love covers multitude of
sinS-but lying does also, tempor-
arily. Only two classes of folk fall
for flattery-men and women. Talk
is cheap because the supply always
exceeds the demand. Fruit in the
Christians life comes by daily dy-
ing, not daily doing We sing our
way to the Sea of Grass" and over
come by the blood of the Lamb.
Some rich folk imagine that when
they come before the judgment
throne of God they can refer all the
questions to their lawyers, and if
they don't have the answer, they
can say they don't remember. Will
it work? The folks who are looking
at everything in sensible way get
very little pleasure out of life. 1t is
the rattlebrain folk that have a good
time. in the natural. It is alright
to tell people where to get off and
give them a piece Of your mind, pro-
Vided you have the mind of Christ
and tell them to get off at Calvary.

WILLSCREEK GPM: We are glad
you finally caught on, partly as to
what FFPA is. All the important
people know all about it. Oh yes,
what has become Of all these fast
Monroe county foXhOundS? Have
they all died and gone to dog heav-
en-? You are too old to be having
pipe dreams, like foxes catching
chickens, turkeys and carrying off
lambs. Others have tried to cram
were never able to show proof. The
FFPA can show proof to the con-
trary and back it up with evidence
The fellow generally that fights fox
hunts is the fellow that used to in
his hcyday coon and foxhunt all
over the other fellows farms, but
since he has become old ? Fox
hounds that run in field trials are
stOckbrOke and sheepproOf. Fault
finders, here, may find a hard time
finding the latch to the heavenly
door.
STRIKE: We hear rumors of an
other Sit-dOWn strike on the hand
me-dOWn packs of cigarettes, which
in some places have reached the
high figure of twenty cents a pack
1t is said, the government gets the
big slice Of this twenty cents, then
out of the balance, the radio prizes
are paid, also the radio program
then the employee gets his small
diVey in wages, then the manu-
facturer gets a cut. Now, what is the
cost of a pack Of fagS, it must be
about one tenth of cent per pack
Who pays for the prizes and money
given away on these many radio
programs-Why Of course, the en-
ployees High cost of existing.
POLITICAL: 1t won't be Dewey
or Taft for president. Wallace and
Truman will run, at this early date
we won't predict who the third man
in the ring will be- However, Van
denbCrg or Bricker are much bet
ter, athletically, politically, also
could play a better games of check
erS than Dewey or Taft With union
labor in the condition it is in, rock
ing in the rock -a-bye-by tree tor
cradle, Taft won't be able to sing tC
the babicS-sing them a song that
will win their votes and lull them
to Sunderland. Union labor is see
ing too many mystery ghosts of the
past in the T. II. bill Union labor
has never been able to use this bill
to pick up feed with, like the chick
ems, SO they don't have much use
for the new bill handed them to eat
