Feller Citizens— _ Here it is only 15 minutes to press time and .nothing ready for you. Fact is I'm some pressed for time and can hardly think of what I was going to tell you. Anyway a fellow asked me once what one should do who was troubled with too much appetite and I said, ga I, “Two remedies suggest themselves at once, fitst amputate 1-2 of said appetite; secondly, go into a meat market and ask the price of sirloin chuck, and when you learn the price, Ell bet a white oak shavin ‘agin’ that bunch of spinach on ‘yer’ chin that you won't be pestered with too much appetite (at least for meat), Having moved from where I now live I that [ am as likely to be found'in one place as two—of one thing you may be sure—the latch string of my bungalow at 19 south Delaware ny friends and some ‘time customers invited to pull the string and come in, T will be about the place somewhere pullin’ weeds, - sawin’ wood or doin’ some durned fool stunt, subject to the orders of Mrs. Sunny Jim I] notice that a good impression was made on the much touted Jeffer- son Highway tourists, uh-huh, Also and much more to the point the said ‘toorists’ made a good impression on the said J. TL, at least it seemed so to one who passed over it next day. ‘he world uses more than $20,000,- 000 worth of buttons yearly. Quite some buttons, and that don’t include the ‘buttins’ we sometimes get from the goat either. ‘Tother day I foolishly (for fools rush in where an angel is afraid to go) accepted an invitation to witness (and take part in) an indoor sport known to most of you as the national game of baseball, compared to which the German trenches or the firing line is tame. Th ked me to pitch, said it was the safe place. The first ball | pitched was at once re- turned (from the bat) and hit me on my head. Didn't hurf me, but the ball was ruined. The only safe place in the hall was under the stove and ‘opine’ are St., is on the outside and} ‘T, K (there wasn’t ‘no’ stove), Me? No, no, never again, draft me, conscript or take me dead or alive, but let me go where there's less danger and a man can die quickly and not get bunged up so. It is reported that the Allies have broken the enemies front. Now if they can succeed in cutting off his ‘rear’ seems to me they have some chance to win. (How about it?) I stopped at The Times office last week for a chat with the push and say, believe me (or not) for a minute T didn’t know where T was at. First T thought I was in a ‘boiler factory’ and that a dozen riveting hammers were workin’ overtime. Beno was playin’ “Yankee Doodle” on his Lin- otype; Bob was hollerin’ like he had a pain some place that he couldn't reach; printer's devils were runnin’ here, there and other places, and the ‘boss’, well he looked worried. I said, “Hello, R. ,D.” He yelled “Write ‘er down.” “Meanin’,” said IT) “Anything you say,” says, “may be used in evidence agin you.” T saw at once something was wrong with his ‘upper works’ and knowing there was nothing T could do to al- leviate his sufferin’ or calm his dis- ordered mind I gently withdrew and left him alone with his worry. Quite a bit of interest is being dis- played in this vicinity in regard to ‘corrective eating. It seems to me it’s not necessary to urge the people to refrain from eatin’. Prohibitive prices will regulate that. Correct the prices. It's the price (rather than what we eat) that upsets our ‘stum- micks.’ Now a Po-8 may sing of the beau- ties of spring and hike for the old swimmin’ hole. For winter is past, ‘tis summer (at last) and Butler has ‘got a flag pole. Now bring on the ‘flag, the starry old rag, let its stars and its stripes sweep the sky. ’Till each mother’s son has grabbed his old gun and has hiked for the front on the ‘high.’ jItalian Airmen Drop Ten Tons of Big Bombs.

AIR RAID KILLS 76 German Attack Took Toll of Dead and 174 Injured in England. London, May 26.—Death dealing German attacks by sixteen enemy aircraft, resulting in the killing and injuring of scores of. women and children and followed by battles in the clouds between British and en- emy airplanes, yesterday marked the bloodiest Teutonic aerial attack on England since the war's opening.

The casualty list was officially fixed at seventy-six killed and 174 in- jured, twenty-seven women and twenty-three children among the dead and forty-three women and nineteen children among the injured. ~ Royal naval air service planes at Dunkirk, called into action immed- iately, swung into battle array above the channel. Here a series of thrill- ing encounters occurred. One Brit- ish machine gave battle with three of the enemy craft—and shot one of them down. The two sped on with the other raiders to encounter more naval planes over the Belgian coast. Far aloft ‘the two forces sailed and maneuvered and fought. Before the enemy forces could escape two twin engine machines were shot down to the ground. Of the sixteen aircraft participating in the raid, therefore accounted for. ; The total casualties reported by the police from all districts are: “Killed, 76; injured, 174. “Of the killed, 27 were womeri and 2 were children, while 43 women and 1 child were injured, .. “Airplanes of the Royal Flying| Corps went in pursuit and the raid- ing aircraft were engaged by fight- ing” squadrons of the Naval Air Ser- }j vice front Dunkirk on their return journey.
