Old Farmer'* Riddle: Why did the
corn stalk hear »o much? (An
swer below.)
Ask the Old Farmer Where did
the expression “smart Alec"
come from? F. D., Alexandria,
Louisiana.
Our impression is that the term
is i 'rry old, and that it originally
indicated a person of unusual
skill and sleight. We have a
fragment of an old book, some
.100 years old, in which there is
a description of an entertainer
of some sort. It calls him a "gay
Alexander of exceeding smart
ness.”

Wind tunnel research
shows that ordinary fans
can cost up to 58% more
than Vent-O-Matic to
move the same volume
of air. In new buildings,
or old, Vent-O-Matic
Watt-Watcher package
fans use less electricity
every working hour, day
and night.
