Twentieth Laugh With Us— Not At Us— The Imaginative Linotyper The linotype. operator who' set the follawing _advertisement for the Weakly = Pioneer must have been dreaming of the days when he rode in a Ford while he was sitting in his chair by the machine, The ad fol- lows in part: “Exchange: 1 have a 1916 Ford with delivery body I would like to exchange for young stock from 1 to 4 years old,” etc. “Am also inl ‘the market for hogs, both alive and dressed,” etc. Note! A man with a 1916 Ford wants to trade it for young stock. Can vou blame him? And then if he’s in the market for dressed hogs, we would like to know what the season’s styles are, : —Alive and Dressed— Page the Head-Writer “Kellogg Sees President,” reads a, headline in a Twin City paper-when Kellogg calls on President Harding.

We always did now that the names on Pullman cars didn’t mean anything to anybody in particular. But now you can say the same thing about most of the names of the new motion pic- tiures.

For example, for the week ended Dember 24, when purchasing génerally upon a, very scanty basis, - the volume of orders placed was 28 per cent above actual praduction.

Perhaps the witch-hazel thinks its | simple little yellow blossoms would not compare favorably with the gor- geousness _ of fall' chrysanthemums— perhaps it wents to be original—at | all events, not until “mums” and other varleties of antumn flowers are gone, and even the leaves of the witch-hazel flowers appear.

It-has long been the fashion at col- leges and schools to take a census of graduating classes to determine such vital facts as these: What is your favorite flower? How tall are you? Do you smoke? Are yon a prohibitionist? . At a girl's seminary a recent inquiry was more sweeping.

But -admitting that they swear. is not proof that these feminine lips do -utter oaths.
