Hie family was having company
for dinner, Jean, aged 5, laid down
her spoon, looked at her mother,
and said: "Mommy, there's a hair
in my soup."
"Hush, dear," implored the em-
barrassed mother, trying to cover
the situation. "It's Just a crack in
the plate."
Jean picked up her spoon, stirred
dubiously a few times. "Mommy,"
she insisted, "can a kwack move?"

A couple of Claude's tough foot-

you can wallop him again."

1 saw a Farmer looking sore
I said "Hey Bud, what's cooking"
He said "I sold my wheat before
The Economist started looking."

One of my favorite Merchants
bought a stock of new-fangled
kind of mouse trn,p; made of a
fruit Jar lid, the idea being that
the mouse would go in a tiny holt
in the lid and would eat cheese
that you had placed in the jai
and because of the added weight
he was supposed to be unable tc
crawl back thru the opening, and
as a double precaution some win
spikes on the inside were supposed
to make his exit impossible. But
so far, it won't work, he goes in
and cats the cheese but when 1
go look, he is always gone. Made
me think of the old story about
the Little Man that was caught
out in the woods during a rain-
storm, so, he crawled into an old
hollow tree. And, as you remember
after the rain the hole had drawn
up and he couldn't get out. As he
sat there thinking of all the mean
things that he had done in his
life, he felt smaller and smaller,
and after a while, he crawled out
and went home. Guess this may
have happened to my mouse. Any-
way, I will take half price for my
mouse trap.

There are two kinds of friends;
the ones you buy with your money,
and the ones you still have.

Death & taxes are supposed to be
two of the most certain things in
the world; some people make the
first one happen a lot sooner, by
doing a lot of unnecessary worry-
ing about the latter.

I enjoyed my visit with the
Lions Club at Clarendon. When a
group of men ca,n and will lay
aside their worries and laugh and
sing and visit for an hour, it is
wonderful. Anyway, thanks for the
invitation, and for the one to
come back, and for the invitation
from the Editors wife to eat some
of her cooking and to meet the
children, and unless they were
joking and unless she was joking
I will do Just that before long and
soon.

I also enjoyed the Farm Bureau
meeting in Amarillo on Oct. 2. I
was most impressed by the talk
made by Sen. Grady Hazelwood,
who is also a, Farmer, on the im-
portance of Farmers organizing
and looking after their own politic-
al interests, rather than just "Tak-
ing pot luck."

Seems like everytlme someone
Is called to Washington to do
something about the price of
grain, they issue a statement and
on the weight of it wheat goes up
another Ten Cents. Oh Me, and I
thought last Summer that we
wouldn't ever get "Rid of the
stuff."
It looks as though the United
Nations is going to have to start

PROTECT YOUR HOME AND
FARMSTEAD FROM FIRE
700,000 rubbish, grass and brush
fires were reported last year! "90
per cent of all fires are oreven
table", according to the National
Fire Protection Association.
Open Fires may be dangerous
Authorities report that such fires
built under large kettles or started
to burn trash cause many losses ol
life and property in Texas.
These open fires are treacherous
because
You may be called away for a
few moments and fail to watch the
fire.
An open fire may spread to dry
grass or weeds nearby and soon be
beyond control.
Your clothing may catch fire as
you work.
Children playing near may fall
into the fire or their clothing may
catch fire.
Guard and control open fires.
Try one of these ways—
Build a brick, concrete or stone
furnace (see B-133, "Barbecue and
Utility Pits")
Use an old galvanized wash tub
or sheet metal to surround the
fire.
Building a furnace or enclosing
the fire will—
Keep it from spreading.
Save fuel.
Protect Children
Keep smoke and soot from blow-
ing into the kettle.
Keep your own clothing from
blowing into the fire.
Enables you to work more com-
fortable and closer to the kettle.

Three-year-old Ross had never
seen a baby colt, so when one ar-

to look at it.
Ross stood and looked at it for
some minutes. Finally I said:

"It would be all right," he an-
swered earnestly, "only they have
got it Jacked up too high."
