OF
All
Things!

We don't want to queer another
reporters pitch, but we have the
true information about that sea
monster that was seen in the
Little Dock Hollow" 1t was the
aborted Miller Hutchinson ma
chine digging up more mud to
throw in the primary campaign.
The Whittlers' Club. or as
some unkind souls would say,
"The Order of the Sons of Rest,
has been recognized and is car
rying on the work to which it was
dedicated. This organization is in
session from daylight to dark on
the bench on court house square.
Rufus Keith, chairman of the
membership committee, states
that all seats on the bench are
taken and that no new members
can at this time be received. II
and when members die or go to
jail, their places may be filled
by election. People used to pest
er the brethren with offers of
work, but now they bother them
no more. All their days are fill
ed with peace, and they have
nothing to do until tomorrow.
We willingly testify that as
far as our personal knowledge
goes, Victor Hanover behaved
himself passably well during the
absence of his wife. Of course,
there are rumors, but we prefer
to dismiss them as idle and ma
icious creations. In short, we
throw the mantle of charity
around the Little Man." and we
hope that his good companion
will let it remain there.
Guy Pizzuto is a good gardener.
He has way with soil and
plants, and they seem to do his
will. But there is a cloud over
his happiness, a fly in the ONT
ment, and a spider in his dump
lings. English sparrows hover
over his garden. They wait until
Guy goes into the house. Then
they come to the earth and do
their work. The gardener has put
up scarecrows, but the sparrows
are not crows and do not scare.
So the shadow of these birds lies
heavily on Guys mind. He can't
figure out how to cope with
them, but he has figured out one
thing. The biggest mistake ever
made in American history was
when these birds were admitted
to the country.
Some politicians go to Abing-
don; then others go to Washing
ton.
Since Dave Hall has gone back
to the penitentiary, George Bur-
chett has lost his ace in the hole.
The law may begin to trespass on
Georges country again.

Impressions Of the candidates
for governor:
Miller-the angry man.
Edwards-the man with a TAX
ing manner.
Battle-the solid, deliberate
man.
Arnold-the shrewd comedian,
who could win a county campaign
with ease.

tell you about how they whipped

ARA Would Add Many Experts

Plans for the future work of the Agricultural Research Ad- ministration expand with each added year of it's existence. Pre- liminary work on the 1851 bud get, now under way, calls for the addition of number of new workers to the ARA staff. The tentative budget asks an added horticulturist, another agrono- mist, soils scientist, an agricul- tural economist, engineer, nutri- tionist, full-time chemist and an entomologiSt.
 It must be remembered, how ever, that the budget is in pre- liminary planning stages only, director Don Irwin cautions. He says it may take several years to fill the positions now tentatively scheduled in the 1851 budget.
