You know Mount Joy is

back at school who, seemingly, is
also poetically inclined. Here's his

Just heard of another good
Christmas joke that only leaked
out. A man on Marietta street
got a pair of spats from his wife
for Christmas and he took ’em up
to Bishop’s and wanted to get them
half soled and heeled,
Joe Hershey sat on his own thumb
the other evening and said he hurt
himself because there was a nail in
it.
Shorty Engle told me he had eggs
for supper and he ate so dern many
that when he went to bed he laid
there.
Joe Henderson, who works up at
Rohrer’s garage, was sent out to a
certain farmer recently to fix a
car. While there the hired man
asked him if he ever milked a cow.
Joe said: “Sure I know how to do
that. You get a bucket, set it un-
der Mrs, Cow and then you drain
her crank case.”
A colored fellow on Manheim
street didn’t get to work the other
day. When questioned by the boss
he told him he was helping his
mother about the house. The boss
replied: “What, was she drunk
again?”
Believe me there’s a man here in
town who certainly knows his geo-
graphy. He bought his daughter
a road map for Christmas,
I heard “Hod” Mumma's girl tell
a good one the other day. She
said they took a walk, stopped at
Garber’s Drug Store and each had
a lemonade, then he took her home
and tried to squeeze it out of her.
But that isn’t half as bad as the
fellow from Marietta who came
over here to see a girl and necked
so darn much that his goiter dis-
appeared.
George Halbleib asked me if I
knew what a base ball cigar was
and I told him the only kind I ever
heard of was a grounder.
Some fellows were standing in
front of the post office the other
evening talking about the male

The best way to regain a youth-
ful figure is to take sufficient ex-
ercise, and follow
diet. A reducing diet is
calories, or fuel value. The wat-
ery and bulky fruits and vegetables
which are low in calories, or fuel
value, should predominate in the
diet of a person who has a tend-
ency to store up fat.
used sparingly, are the more con-
centrated foods, especially those
rich in starch, in fat content, and
in protein. It is fairly easy to
limit the amount of fat, since
mos: of the fat is added t~ the diet.
This means cutting down or limit-
ing butter, cream, and dishes pre-
pared from cream, salad oils of ail
kinds, fat meat, and fried foods.
If you want a salad dressing, make
a simple French dressing, with lots
of vinegar or lemon juice, and very
little oil. A good salad dressing
can be made by using mineral oil,
as a substitute for the ordinary
salad oil. Mineral oil is not digest-
ed but simply acts as a filler, and
helps to carry bavor.

Sweet Clover Valuable
Sweet clover has come to be re-
garded as one of the major leg-
umes. In the Northern Great Plains
States it is exceeded in acreage on-
ly by alfalfa or by timothy and clo-
ver mixed. The chief difficulty with
sweet clover seems go be to obtain
a stand. Studies by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate
that the most reliable method of
obtaining a stand is to sow unseari-
fied or even unhulled seed in the
late fall or early winter, thus imita-
ting the natural method of sowing.
Of course it is necessary that the
soil contain lime and the necessary
bacteria, or that these be supplied
if not already present.

If you are planning to treat
seed wheat with copper carbonate
dust for prevention of flag smut or
stinking smut (bunt), the sooner
it is done the better, for the copper
carbonate also affords a consider-
able measure of protection from
destruction by weevils, rats and
for treatment of
mice. Directions
these and other smuts in wheat
and rye are printed in Farmers’
Bulletin 1540-F, obtainable on ap-
plication to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

cther boy.”
The boy replied: “I wish you
would. There is quite enough work
for two of us.”
Some people try to double their
face value by being two faced.
Remember fellows, no one can be
a howling success if he does nothing
hat howl.
One Sunday last Summer a crowd
of folks from town were crossing
the Susquehanna river at Columbia
on the steam boat. Among them
was one of our pretty girls whom
the captain of the boat wanted to
kiss.
He said unless she kissed him he
would blow up the boat. The
twenty-seven passengers landed
safely at Wrightsville,
I asked one of our colored ladies
who that bum was I saw her go
with the other evening.
She said it was her husbum.
