"a fT6HWN
AGE

you re BetIlIl Oil DAOIiiCl'
when your breath gets shorter
and your stories get longer.
GILT
Radio announcers have a
way of gliding the lily and the
best to date that we have
heard was by a Springfield
announcer Sunday. Seems
they had a fire in the old
Arcade building over there but
instead of calling it fire in
the Arcade the radio man call
ed it "a conflagration in the
Esplanade!" Oh, brother!
DELINQUENCY
Kink Solomon said in 700
BIC, "A child left to himself
bringeth his mother to
shame" Surely this statement
lives today when we all see
so much delinquency in a
comparatively happy world.
Among certain people, the
modern-day adage seems to be
Anything for the kids" Per-
haps we should change this to
Anything for the kids-if they
work for it," Many authori-
ties say that parents do too
much for their children and
excuse coddling by saying
that they don't want little
Junior to "go through what l
had to go through" The Lord
made the rear end of kid
in such a manner that it hurts
easily and heals quickly. Par
ents should temper a child's
life by a pat on the head or a
whack on the bottom-which
ever suits the occasion.
hUMNNI
A mans conscience is the
only living Disciple of Christ.
HORSES
A horse player is a guy who
dies broke and lives the same
way.
LIVING
You're getting on, brother,
when your suits wear out in
the seat of the pants and the
elbows. 1t gets harder and
harded to keep the pace and
still keep the peace.
SELLING
Twixt statesmen and swains,
this could we'll be called the
hot air age. Instead of
sweeping a girl off her feet,
most of the Lotharios blow
them off.
VIEWPOINT
What this old world needs
is a great, big, fat miracle.
oVERWoRkE0
The word, benefit, is the
most overworked word in the
English language.
DAYS MAIL
The mail order business is
growing and growing, much to
the dismay of the small town
merchant. One of the things
that promotes such an imper-
sonal, unguaranteed and risky
business is BULK MAIL!
Nowadays we get whole box
full of this junk-most of which
goes into the waste basket.
The next mail brings more.
There is one way to stop it,
though, Just mark it "REFUS-
ED" and put it back in the
mailbox. When the sender gets
enough of it back, he'll stop
it alright!

A grandfather is guy who
has succeeded in his own ef-
fort to replenish the earth.
WoMAN's WORLD
TITS a woman'S world" is
the apt title of a new movie
which has set us to thinking.
Nowadays women own over
half of the stock, spend so per
cent of the money, drive the
car, play golf, and poker, go
into saloons, enter politics,
hunt, fish, ski, and even call
up men for dates sometimes,
Women are nice.

explanation has no solution.
