Editor Gets in Bad.
An Oklahoma editor, just
about ready to go to press,
4‘pied” a couple of articles, one
concerning a public sale and the
other a write-up of a wedding.
He asked the office devil to get
the two articles together—and
he did. Here is how he put the
two together, and the mixture
was not known to the editor un-
til an angry preacher and the
mother of the bride appeared on
the scene:
“William Smith and Miss Lucy
'Anderson were dispoesd at pub-
lic auction at my barn one mile
east of a beautiful cluster of
roses on her breast, and two
white calves before a background
of farm implements too numer-
ous to mention in the presence
of about seventy guests includ-
ing two milk cows, six mules and
a bob sled. Rev. Jackson tied
the nuptial knot with 200 feet of
hay rope; the bridal couple left
on one John Deere gang plow for
an extended trip with terms to
suit purchaser. They will be at
home to their friends with one
good wheelbarrow and a few
kitchen utensils, after 10 months
from date of sale, to responsible
parties and some 50 chickens.”—

The Farmers Taking to Radio.
The farmers are taking to ra-
dio. Make a trip on the train.
Many times you will see the little
wires stretched above the farm
house and understand that it has
tuned in with the speaking and
singing world of the large cities.
The mountain has come to Mo-
hammed, so to speak, and in the
quiet of his home the farmer can
hear the best that is said in
churches and concert halls thous-
and of miles away. The radio
passion is growing rapidly. A
special survey of about 1,200
farmers just completed by the
United States Department of
Agriculture has disclosed the im-
portance of radio in the produc-
tion and marketing of agricul-
tural products. More than 50
per cent of the 1,200 farmers re-
ported that they owned tube sets
employing three or more tubes.
A large number have home-made
sets ranging from the simple
crystal to the tube set. More
than 75 different sets were
found among the manufactured
sets purchased, although the
bulk of the sets were confined to
about 15 of the leading makes
that are more or less widely ad-
vertised in radio and general
magazines.
Catarrhal Conditions
Catarrh is a local disease greatly influ-
enced by constitutional conditions. It
therefore requires constitutional treat-
ment. HALL’S CATARRH MEDICINE
is taken internally' and acts through the
Blood upon the Mucous Surfaces of the
System. HALL’S CATARRH MEDICINE
gives the patient strength by improving
the general health and assists Nature in
doing its work.

Most every Friday
For many months
There has come to me
In my Home Town
The Honey Grove Signal
And after reading same
I fold it up
In a nice roll
And stick same
Behind the knob
Of one of the doors—
For there are two—
Leading into my office.
And from somewhere
There comes a man
And carries it away
For he wants to know
About what all of you
Who live in and around
Honey Grove are doing;
Because, so he told me,
He and his family
Once lived in the
Above little city;
And they want to
Keep in touch with
The folks back there
Where life to him
And his loved ones
Was well worth living.
You may wonder who
He is and what he does,
But this I can not say
Because I never asked
The man his name.
But, just the same,
When I meet him
From day to day
He smiles and thanks
Me for the little
Kindness along the way
And I am glad that I
Write for your paper.
I thank you.

“Well, you see, guv’nor, there

Mrs. Huggins—It says here,
Joe, that smoking does you a lot
of harm. I do wish you would
stop.
Joe—Look here, missus. I’m
sixty, and still as strong as ever.
Does it look as if smoking has
done me any harm?
“Ah, Joe, but you might have
been seventy now if you hadn’t
smoked so much.”
“I Have Went.”
In a city schoolroom there was
one pupil who would insist on
saying “I have went.” One day
the teacher grew very angry at
the child.

13,000 pensioners, a material re-
duction under the number of ten
years ago. With the war over
sixty years ago, the average age
of the surviving veterans is close
to 80 years. The advanced aver-
age age means a heavy annual
mortality rate.
Old veterans residing in the
Confederate Home and the wid-
ows of the veterans domiciled in
the Confederate Woman’s Home
receive half the amount of pen-
sions paid those not in the
homes. For the next quarter
they will get $16 each, plus their
board, clothing and quarters in
the homes. The half pension
provides them with some spend-
ing money which they would not
otherwise have.

Woman Has Poor Opinion of
Men—Has Tried Eight.
New Orleans, March 19—“A
good man nowadays is mighty
hard to find” is the complaint of
Mrs. George Luigi. Mrs. Luigi
knows whereof she speaks.
Launching into the matri-
monial whirlpool when 14 years
old, Mrs. Luigi has tackled mar-
riage eight times, and the ex-
perience has not improved her
opinion of men, she says.
Of Mrs. Luigi’s eight hus-
bands, five have been divorced,
two are dead, and she is now liv-
ing on her little strawberry and
truck farm near Urbania with
the eighth.
“I’ve got a poor opinion of men
generally,” Mrs. Luigi said.
“However, there are exceptions
to all rules. Take Charlie Bron-
son, for instance,” she said, re-
ferring to husband No. 3, “he
was worth a cow pen full of some
of the other kind that have fallen
to my lot.”
outside his office door. It read:
“A. Swindler.”
A stranger who called to con-
sult him saw the sign and said:
“My goodness, man, look at
that sign. Don’t you see how it
reads? Put in your first name
—Alexander, Ambrose or what-
ever it it.”
“Oh, yes, I know,” said the
lawyer, resignedly, “but I don’t
like to do it.”
“Why not?” asked the client.
“It looks bad as it is. What is
your first name?”
“Adam.”
Real Devotion.
Hubby—I see that Stoneham,
who died the other day, left his
wife a million. How would you
like to be his widow?
Wifey—Now, you know, I
would rather be yours, dear.

Tommy—Have you ever come

How to Get Down,
They were discussing ways
and means of getting down off
an elephant.
“Well, how do you get down?”
asked Bob.
“You climb down, of course.”
“No,” replied his friend Tom.
“Well, you grease his sides and
slide down,” suggested the other.
“Wrong again,” insisted Tom.
“Then you take a ladder if one
is handy and get down,” was the
next suggestion.
“No.”
“Well, you slide down his
trunk.”
“No, you donkey! You don’t
get down off an elephant. You
get it off a duck.”

sneezing and coughing a few
days ago and suddenly felt some-
thing up in his nose. He blew it
and out came a part of a nail, in-

previous he coughed two small
pieces of steel or nail out of his

how the nail got in his head, and
says that it had never given him
any particular trouble.
