Rowie citizens should not |pt
their church dues lapse It’s the
only insurance they’ve got
against tire in the next world.
Politicians are not, all aviators,
hut those now in congress are
up in the air most of the time.
Our idea of justice would be to
pay the bootlegger what you owe
him in counterfeit money.
Any Rowie girl who has had
an opportunity to sit on an old-
fashioned hair sofa knows with-
out being told why her grand-
mother wore six petticoats.
•List, to bring our scriptures
up to date, the rain falls on the

Now they’re canning to relieve
the unemployed —but that was
the cause of the trouble in the
first, pl^ce. _
Now that the weather permits
Bowie car owners to get out for
a visit, with their country cons
ins, you can’t make farm wives
believe that Sunday is actually a
day of rest.
An eastern editor wants to
know how to reduce the number
of reckless motorists Why not
establish more rairoad crossings?
"Nothing is so had hut it can
he worse.” says Bill "and if you
don’t oeil^ve it just listen to a
few radio proprams.”
Science has perfected flexible
glass. Now we suppose econorn- i
ical drinkers will he turning
their bottles inside out and lick j
ing the inside to get a lew drops
more.
According to Bill it’s not the
number of square miles a coun-
try contains hut the number of
square people it has in it.
"Why is it,” asks Bill ‘‘that
some women are always happiest
when they have a husband they
can look up to and neighbors
they can look down on?”
Bill wants to know if there are
any old-timers around here who
can remember when more chi I
dren had their hides tanned with
shingles than with sunourn.
A’ Missou ri ciYunty is said to
have more automobiles than
hogs Well, farmers have lost
Jess on automobiles than they
have on hogs during the past
few years.
Home to the modern Bowie
girl is just a place where she
goes when she wants to change
elothes.

it that long.
)e second best driver on the
is one who pulls aside to let
pass.
Another thing that would
help things a lot would be for
people to quit bragging about
how much they have lost.
Bill declares that nowadays if
you want to make a boy quit
s nuking you have to make him
quit running around with his
sister.
The trouble is. declares Bi 1
that most people who are sail to
be acting the fool aren’t acting.
Rill says it stacks up about
l>ke liiis: An optimist has no mon-
ey and a pessimist won’t lend
him any.
Prosperity will be here when
our dig financial men are too busy
to tell us that prosperity is here

“This is a tine condition we are
i i,” asserts Bill ‘when crooks
a> e about- the only people who
can make both ends meet ”
Bill says that after all this
community is not so bad off He
heard of a place the Other day
where the sparrows are actually
sitting on the bumpers of autos
praying for a miracle to happen.
‘ Nowadays,” says Bill "when
you see a girl whose skirts reach
to her ankle you can’t help but
think that sometyHng has slip-
ped.”
The bulls ate the sheep, the
bears ate the bulls and now the
wolves are devouring the bears.
Thai’s the story of Wall Street.
Bill says the old bureau in the
bedroom was a place where you
hid your money so you could
find ii when you wanted it. A
government bureau is a place
where you put your money and
never find it again.
It remains for Bill to assert
that if you’ll watch some women
shop you’ll think they're taking
an inventory of the store. ...

can withdraw your money any time,
without notice, and receive your
interest up to the day of with-
drawal . The Booster is a per-
manent state institution, estab-
lished nearly 12 years. It owns
its own plant at Bowie, free of
