I've been grossly I'm
mad! And don’t think it's funny
either. As you know, today, be-
ing February 2nd, it's groundiog
day. Well, this morning early,
when I went out to get the papers,
just as I opened the door and
stepped out, two passing newsboys
exclaimed: “Gee, look! The
groundhog!’---I don’t even be-
long to slumbering lodge.
“He's not as big a fool as
of his neighkor.
“Getting wiser?” I asked.
“No thinner.” he explained.

The most popular tie rack in the

2 fellow from back of town was
mailing the old family Bible to a
brother in a nearby city. The
postal clerk examined the heavy
package very carefully and in-
quired whether it contained any-
thing breakable. “Nothing but
the Ten Commandments,” was the
reply.
“My girl friend calls me ‘Hand-
some, ” remarked Charlie.
“Mine calls me ‘Parcel Post,’
supplied Bob.
“Why does she call

said one of his pals. “If you kiss
her tonight, you're a man. If
you don’t, you're just a mouse.”
The young mouse grinned and said: |
“Well, boys, meet a rat. I kissed
her LAST night!”
“Do you know what a stationary

“Yeah! I had one in the

When a fifth grade student, dur-
ing geography class, was asked:
“What pine has the longest and
sharpest needles,” he promptly re-
plied: A porcupine.”
Which reminds me that when the |
last report cards were issued, a|
local Pop asked his son how his
marks were. The son said! They
are under water” Pop didn’t un-
derstand that remark so he asked:
“What do you mean, under water?’
“Below C level,” his son explained.
Saw ‘a rural item in a country
paper that read: “C. H. has bought
a cow and he is now supplying
‘his neighbors with milk, butter
and eggs!’---What a cow! Many
more of those kind and they won't

Corn in Silage Form
Answer to Extra Crop
Corn in the form of silage is the
solution for the extra crop— and a
trench silo is the cheapest and easi-
est way to provide for making and
storing of silage.
The trench silo especially
recommended for those who need
to provide storage space hurriedly.
However, areas having extremely
high water tables or soil that is
sandy or loose are not suitable, ac-
cording to a dairy specialist.

Proper safeguards in installation
and maintenance of heating equip-

officials say, will prevent fires of
this type. Many communities al-

ordinances requiring the installa-

Making Both Ends Meet
Furnishing good service at reasonable rates has always
been the aim of this company. We have done this, while
at the same time trying to keep operating expenses within
the limits of income. However, the sharp increase in the
cost of everything during recent years has hit us just as
it has you. Now our operating costs have been increased
again due to something beyond our control. Federal legis-
lation has sent our wage scale soaring.
We believe in paying good wages. In fact, the major
increases in our operating cost during and since the war
years have been the result of a series of wage increases.
We will pay this new increase as the government de-
creed, but it does create a serious new problem for us. We
want to continue giving you good service. We can do this
only through new service rates reasonably adjusted to our
changed operating conditions. However, you can still
depend upon telephone'service as the best bargain in the
