Most any day you can take up the reeeiver and have central ask right off quick, “Didn’t they answer?” ’ —That’s Beating You to It— Proof Is in the Pudding After a man has waited an hour or so for friend wife to get ready to go to the “ball,” he begins to believe her when she says that woman’s work is never done. Judging from the about half done even after they con- sider themselves dressed. —Some Even Less— Moving Day Luke McLuke says that every time a woman feels lonely she moyes one big piece of furniture over to_ where another big piece of furniture stood and moves the other big piece of fur- niture over to where the. other. big piece of furniture stood. Guess it's all right for the women to move the furniture about that way, but there was a day when; it might have caused 5 a lot of trouble: f —Not a Day, but a' Night— b Waiting at the Church A 78-year-old man has just mar- B ¥ ried a 74-year-old bride. = Which| Ees goes to show that all things come to| those who wait. .

Mr. Seyniotr, whila in the Chicago field, is credited with having written the famous head, “Jerked to Jesug,” which reported thoe hanging of a re- ligious fanatic. ' . Another story is told of a printer’s mistake by which Mr. Seymour’s head, “To Hell in a Hack,” intended to describe a wild ride that ended in death appeared over the report of a prominent clergyman’s funeral. ~—You Know How H2 Felt?— COUNTY URGED TO CARRY ; OUT ITS ROAD PROGRAM (Continued from Page 1) general revenue fund of the county or paid in such other manner as the board may deem practicable. The association further urges that, if pos- sible, this be dorie at the April méet- ¥ ing' of the board, as it is important i to get to work on the county roads £ ' as soon as the frost is out of the ground. z . The completion of such road work as has been plannied by the board is necessary in order to secure the fed: eral aid money appropriated by con- | gress and promised by the state high- way commissioner and which will be paid to the county on completion of the/work. Owing to the large num- ber of unemployed in the county, the road building will provide work for them and at the same time secure the labor at less expense than would have been necessary a year ago, the differ- ence probably amounting - to more than the expense of selling the bonds. The association believes it to be to the best interests of the county to se- cure the funds necessary to continue and complete the worl already com- menced by way of constraction of the so-called ‘“Babcock ~System” during the season of 1921.

LAND CLEARING IDEA SPREADS THROUGH STATE (Continued 'rom: Page 1) ° ing prospects might be likened to the attitude of farmers in his district to the purchase of farm machinery. “They are buying only what they must have,” he said. Several county boards have decided’ to postpone building projects for two or three months at least, as a ‘conse- as excessive. A majority of the boards. of commissioners have decided to let contracts for important con- struction projects” which are redard- ed as immediately necessary, but to postpone action on other work which is not so pressing, Labor demands have Beeri held responsible for the conservative:attitude -toward . build~ ing. County engineers: and commis- sioners. have pointed out that lum- ber, cement and building - supplies who have made bids have stated that companies have informed them of re- ductions in prices, while contractors who have made bids have stated that they preferred to do the work on & ‘““cost plue basis,” because they were not certain what brick-layers, stone- masons, carpenters, and. other work- ers would demand for their services.

E. Potter, president of the federation, said. formed: folks have been saying that the farmer was hampering the coun- try in the éreconstruction period by refusing to take his losses, curtailing production and delaying payment of his debts.
