GATES MFG. CO. DEPT, 809, CHICAGO PAGE EIGHTEEN In stately conclave met; Alas, alas, for England, They have no graves as yet. —G. K. Chesterton. * * * . The modern girl would rather get her kneecaps frozen than the lobe of her ear. * * * Gumbo soil, porous plasters and League farmers are alike when it comes to sticking qualities, * k% When bees start to leave their hives and get busy on their own hook beekeepers beat on tin pans to make the bees think it is the thunder of an approaching storm. In a political campaign some people are as ‘easily fooled as the bees. * % % THE BLUE LAWS Arrest all frogs, the edict goes, un- til the tumult stops. = The evidence most plainly shows that they are full of hops. . p . Close up the undertaker’s too; the issue stands out clear, for as the mourners say adieu they pass around the bier. ) i * * * “That man insulted me by offering me a drink of moonshine.” “What did you do about it?” “I swallowed the insult.” * k% For pure humor we can think of nothing that beats a bulletin of the United States treasury department asking farmers what they are going to do with the “hundreds of millions” of profits they are making this year— buy Liberty bonds or oil stocks? k. m * This man evidently took a New Year’s pledge to tell the.truth: “What is bread worth?” a lady ask- ed him. “About 5 cents a loaf, ma’am,” he replied, “but we’re asking 15 ¢ents for it.” PROBLEM IN ARITHMETIC A farmer recently shipped a car- load of sheep to market. What he got for them was short $24 of being enough to pay the freight bill. The railroad threatens to sue him for the difference. The farmer has no means of paying his debt except by selling more sheep. Here is a question for the class in arithmetic: If he loses $24 on each car he sells how long will it take him to pay the railroad bill 2. * * * The United States senate seems to consist of Mr. Penrose and 95 other senators. A 1 per cent sales tax, like tacks spread on the bedroom floor, while not attracting much attention, will be felt keenly enough. “There’s a man that made a million out of uplift work.” “How did he do it ?”% “Sold TNT to the government.” * E3 The pen is mighty, as we know from the old preverb. But the trouble is in getting the coal profiteers inside of it. * * E3 “A lawyer is like a sleepless man. First he lies on one side and then he lies on the other.” “Yes, and when he’s dead, he lies still.” * k% An eastern surgeon has succeeded in mending 2 man’s vertebra with bone from another part of his body. It looks like a fine chance for some of our politicians to get some of their wishbone grafted onto their back- bone. : * ok % : Deacon Jones, a strict prohibition- ist, was given some brandied peaches for a Christmas present. The deacon wrote back that while he couldn’t use the peaches, he appreciated the spirit in which they were sent. 2
