WEATHER

We wish John Ruskin, who
wrote the following could have
been alive for Mothers Day
Sunday. Old John wrote this
bit many years ago and it goes
like this: Sunshine is de-
licious, rain is refreshing, snow
is exhilarating; there is no
such thing as bad weather.
only different kinds of good
weather" Aw, John!
auDN THoT
No two people are alike and
we are surely glad of this fact
especially at this time of
year and we're not talking
about boys either!
PET HATE
A pet hate of ours is guy
who is willing to trade five
minutes of our time for a half
hour of his.
MUSIC
The high school orchestra
had just rendered the school
song and an old fellow in the
audience seemed visibly
moved. Tears streamed down
his face. Pardon me-" said a
lady sitting next to him, "but
are you an old grad ?"
mo, madam" sobbed the
man, II am musician!
MEDICINE
We heard about a doctor
who never makes less than
two house calls at time. He
says that in this way he can
kill two birds with one stone!
DOUGH
There surely are more i'm
portant things on this old
world than money. If you
don't believe it, just try to
take one of 'em out when
you're busted!
EFFICIENCY
Nowadays, a good secretary
is a gal who can keep up with
the boss during business hours
and stay ahead of him when
the office closes.
HuMNN!
Girls, the best part about
marrying a man for his money
is that you can repent at
leisure.
HEADLINE
Saw a headline in a Colum-
bus newspaper which said,
Sleeping Car Porter's Head
Due" We knew that this
would happen sooner or later.
VIEWPOINT
There is an awful lot of sat
isfaction in doing a kind act
especially If it is for yourself.
NOW HEAR THIS!
Read the ads in the Press
and Democrat-they are the
most optimistic material IN
either paper!
SPRING FEVER
A bridal shower is an event
wherein all the gals get
soaked. And a cocktail party
is a place where people sip
drinks and spill secrets.
HEYWooD
Old Haywood Snugg, the
rural lothario and chief ex-
ponent of corn-fed culture,
SAYS that he never misses an
opportunity to tip his hat to
tomato.
SHOCK
Young boy joined a pen-pal
club and drew the name of a
girl in Holland. 1t took two
hours to revive his mother
after he came home and an
nounced proudly, Hey Nom!
Guess what? I've got a girl in
Dutch!"
BEAUTY
Best way to enjoy flowers is
to live next door to a man that
raises them - and cultivate
him!
GROWTH
We presume that seed COM
pany advertisements were more
reliable way back when Jack
bought the bean from which
the famed beanstalk grew.
OUGHT
We are beginning to doubt
whether we can support the
government in the style 10
which it has become accsls-
toned.
NEW FACES
The construction work e r
told the apprentice: Nov I'll
hold this stake and when I nod
my head you hit it with that
sledge."
The apprentice did exactly
what he was told and now Las
his own apprentice!
LAST WORD
Lawn moving, carpet beat
ing and ditch digging are oc-
cupations which few wives can
get their husbands to perform
but these same operations are
carried out without a whimper
on the golf course every SUM-

It has been said, however, that in the old days of the Nome trade it was a common occur ence for the Victoria to handle as high as two million dollars a trip in gold from the Seward Penin- sula gold fields.
