terday, January lst.
The fellows up at Krall's meat
Market had a little problem Satur-
day morning. A recent bride came
in and told them she was going to
cook her first dinner on New Year's
Day. Then she asked: “What have
you got that I can make over if I
don’t cook it right the first time ”
Monday morning an inebriate was
swaying in the breeze in front of
the post office. An uptown lady
came past, noticed his condition,
and admonished: “My good man,
don’t you realize you'll never get
anywhere by drinking?” And the
gent replied. “Ain't it the truth,
I've started home ten times since
New Year's Eve and I didn’t get
there yet.”
, A Junior girl who baby sits quite
often, sat with a new charge Sun-
day night. Suddenly and without
warning, the small son ‘of the
family grabbed the cat by the tail
and as kitty took off thé boy hung
on. Our baby sitter screamed.
“Here, here! you musn't pull the
cat's tail.” “Don’t yell at me,” son-
ny hollored, yell at the cat. ’'m only
holding. He's doing all the pulling.”
The coke crowd was discussing a
recent football game played in the
rain in which the players got so
muddy you couldn’t tell one team
from the other. Finally one sweet
young thing, said:

the boys to think she knew all a-

“What's that 7 we asked. “Getting
up,” he answered.
Charley Brooks’ financial status
was at lowe ebb when he asked
Abe Koser to lend him half a buck.
“Pye only got forty cents,” Abe re-
plied.. Charley said: “OK. Lend me
the forty cents. You can owe me a
dime.” — — — — It confuses me,
too.

Never lock the barn after the
horse is stolen. Don’t make the same
mistake twice. Have your eyes ex-
amined regularly. These are’ some
of the few things crowding through
the mind of a Mount Joy street
mpr, who last pay day, gave his
wife a $10.00 bill in mistake for a
$1.00 bill. — — — — No, it won't

Many Subscribers Ask: "Must Our
Telephone Bill Increase Now When
Some Other Prices Are Dropping?"
Yes. Though some prices may be
dropping, they are still far above
the level they were when our pres-
ent rates were established. Most tele-
phogie companies in the United States have
afready made rate increases or requested |
‘them to meet present day high cost of
operation. Our finances have been stretched
to their limit so that we, too, must seek
immediate relief.|
