the time until the boats on the Lake
resume operations with his parents,

views of the past and previous days

the chawing of cookies and apples,
no tea.
MYSTERY STALKS the land
again The Mud gulch mystery ghost
hits Mt Ephraim. It lays hold on
the bicycle Of Don Moore. The ghost
was seen riding the bike near the
Watson Hill Service Station. Then it
was seen on the other side of town,
headed for Sarahsville. The bike
was finally found under a bridge
near the ranch Of John Mendenhall,
with the front wheel wrecked. The
sheriff was called, the bike taken
to Caldwell and it is being tested
for fingerprints Prints were found,
plenty Of them, it is reported. Now
it only remains to find who is the
owner of the fingerprints, providing
the rider was not the Mud gulch
mystery ghost, if not, look for an
arrest soon.
1t seems that no locality is i'm
mune to this mystery ghost, where
will he hit next? How soon? Who
knows all of the evil that turks in
the mind of the ghost-watch these
columns for first hand accounts of
his dastardly deeds. They will be
found in The Journal, ONLY. His
next embodiment may cause cold
chills to run up and down your spine
and chill the blood in your veins.
If you are not Journal reader, SUBJ
scribe at once.
WILLSCREEK:-My dear fly in
my soup. You are reading the wrong
kind of literature 1t is infested with
roe, you will never learn fox
hounds or about reynard. Forty
years ago | used to read one of
those, then it was good. Perhaps you
should come up and read some of
my library books, to relieve your
mind of the subject. Then start off
on the right foot. l can furnish you
the addresses of my periodicals, also
look over a years back numbers.
You better look out for the Mud
gulch mystery ghost. He might carry
you off. Come up and see me some
time, my fair-haired friend, and
don't quote to me from roe" in
tested literature. l learned several
years ago, if l knew nothing about
thing, not to express my ignorance
by bringing up the subject, and re-
member this, there is some good in
the worst of us, and some bad in
the best of us. You are excused but
remain at the foot of the class, HNY.
Oak Hague took the Duke to Cam
bridge to his doctor again on We'd
nesday but he did not remove the
tunes from the hearing organ. The
Duke may try prominent Caldwell
doctor. Harley Bates and this ink
spot, foxhunted Wednesday morn
ing, blacky holed one gray, and they
don't run in front of her very long
They hunt foxhole quickly.
The two sons of Kenneth Cutler

Duke last week. The Duke is sorry
now he sold her at all.

Year of Hope, in last weeks edi-

A fellow out in Santa Cruz, has
a plan to eliminate taxes. A lot of
people would like to know why a
currency printing outfit was turned
over to Stain and his gang. They
say Joe is still printing and passing
out our currency, and we the tax
payers have to pay the bills. Amer
lea is sick; will we get doctor for
her before she expires, completely?
A Happy New Year to all-Arch-
