NO. 35
Jog On, Jehoshaphat.
Road gets rougher every mile:
(Cluck)
Jog on, Jehoshaphat, an' show
some style
Mule's ^one lame an' the hens
won't lay:
Corn's way down an' wheat don't
pay:
Hogs no better, steers too cheap:
Cows quit milking, meat won't
keep:
Oats all heated, spuds all froze:
Fruit crop's busted, wind still
blows:
:Sheep seem puny, an' I'll b e
durned
Rye field's flooded an' the hay
stack's burned,
Looks some gloomy, I'll admit—
(Cluck)
Jog on, Jehoshaphat, we ain't
down yit.
Coal's in high an' crops in low:
Rail rates doubled, got no show:
Money's tighter, morals loose:
Bound to get us-what's the use:
Sun's not shinin' as it should:
Moon ain't lightin' like it could,
Air seems heavy, water punk:
Tests yer mettle: shows yer
spunk:
No use stoppin' to d e b a t e—
(Cluck)
Jog on, Jehoshaphat, it's gettin'
late.
Wheels all wobble: axle's bent:
Dashboard's broken, top all rent:
One shaft splintered, t'other sags:
Seat's all busted, end gate drags
May hang t'gether b'lieve it
will:
Careful drivin'll iftake it still:
Trot—gosh ding ye-—that's the
stuff,
Old trap's movin' right good
speed—
(Cluck) Jog on, Jehoshaphat
You're some old steed.
Road's smoothed out 'till it don't
seem true -(Cluck)
Jog on, Jehoshaphat, you pulled
us through.

could support his wife on an an-

dents of the first year classes in
sociology were the ones who were
inclined to be radical, going to
one extreme or the other. The
higher classes turned in figures
which averaged very closely. It
is to be remembered that the
brides and husbands of the com-

drawn from these classes.
Dred Martin for Sheriff.
E. C. (Dred) Martin this week
makes announcement of his can-
didacy for the position of Sheriff
of Cherokee county. Mr. Mar-
tin has held this position in days
gone, before we were residents of
I this county, having been elected
j and served two terms from 1910
i to 1914 at which time he stepped
down and out and now feels that
he would like to have the voters
return him to the position he for-
merly held. His record in the
office for the four years he served your school to enter in by the
mittee which met in the County
Superintendent's office Feb. 4,
1922.
All schools desiring to enter
any event should notify the di-
rector general (Robert J. Garner)
not later than March 15th.
Each event should be listed and
each contestant should have by

this will enable the Committee
to avoid conflicts in the program.
It was further decided by the
Committee that all cups must be
in the County Superintendent's
office before the school will be
allowed to enter any contest.
Also that uniform engraving on
the cup, if funds would permit.

Future Looks Bright for Brides.
Dr. G. S. Dow, head of the de-
partment of sociology of Baylor
University, recently conducted
an investigation among the stu-
dents of his various classes to de
termine the average amount of
money and the necessary income
the husband should have to offer
the bride at the time of marriage.
A compilation of the figures turn-
ed in by the students gave the
following facts: The husband
should have already amassed the
sum of $2646 before he should
propose, and at the time of mar-
riage he should be enjoying an
annual income of not less than
$2522.50.
Dr. Dow was very gratified
with the work of the students,
who handled the investigation in

One million three three hun-
dred thousand pounds of wool
were marketed cooperatively by I
62 counties in Indiana during the,
year 1921. The quantity repre-
sents more than one-third of the
entire State clip, according to
latest estimates of the Bureau of
Markets and Crop Estimates,
United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Extension officials of
the State say that the cost of
handling this wool from the wag-
on box to the manufacturer was
less than 4-i cents a pound.

Died While Fishing.
A negro woman named Clara
Smith died very suddenly last
Thursday evening on the W. H.
Reeves farm north of town. She,
in company with a small grand-
child, had gone to the branch fish-
ing. Later the mother of the
child who was plowing in a field
near the stream heard the child
crying and going there four 1 her
mother dead. A fishing hue was
nearby with a fish on the hook
and the child was by its grand-
mother crying.
B. C. Hosmer and Dred Mar-
tin went out to the place and
Judge Hosmer examined the
body, examination showing con-
clusively that death came from
natural causes and that no one
was instrumental in causing her
demise.
Miss Tish Windham was called
to her home at Shelbyville Mon-
day because of the serious sick-
ness of her parents. Her mother
was very sick, while the father
was not in such bad condition.

per cent of the average deposits,

deposits, was the message of
State Banking Commissioner
Ed Hail to the district bankers'
meeting at Houston this week.
The guaranty fund ad an im-
portant part in averting the
threatened panic of the distress-
ed period, according to Mr. Hall.
He said:
If i' had not been for the guar-
anty fund in state banks during
the distressed period in Texas,
we would have had many more
bank failures than we have had
and we would have felt the strin-
gency of the times more keenly,
because the guaranty fund has
retainer the confidence of the
IS 1 people and they have left their
money in the various banks,
thereby keeping it in circulation.
The guaranty fund now has
about $3,000,000 in cash and ex-
change and amply protects the
depositors of non-interest bear-
ing and and unsecured funds.
Mr. Hall uls^ ,*ays: "There is
no way I can conceive of the peo-
ple recovering from the present
over extended condition, except
to spend less and make more.
