HOAXED
An enthusiastic politician was
asked by his wife to lay aside
polities long enough to dig up the
potatoes in the gorden.
He consented, and after dig-
ging for a few minutes went into}
the house and said he had found
a coin. He washed it, and it pro-
ved to be a quarter. He put it in
his pocket and went back to work.
Presently he went to the house
again and said he had found an-
other coin. He washed the dirt
oi it and this time it was a fifty-
cent piece. He put it in his pock-
et.
“I have worked pretty hard,”
said he to his wife. “I think I’ll
take a short nap.”
When he aiwoke he was not sur-
prised to find that his wife had
dug up the rest of the potatoes
and that she had found no coins!
LIBERAL PAYMENT
They had decided to marry, and
walked into the parsonage. The
clergyman perfdrmed the cere-
mony, and afterwards gave the
bridegroom a word or two of ad-
vice.
“Thank you a thousand times,
sir,” the bridegroom returned,
fervently. “I’m awful sorry I can
not pay you as much as I like,
sir, but—”
“That’s all right—that’s all
right,” interrupted the clergy-
man.
“If you’ll take me down to
ouyr gas meter, ’ ’ continued the
other. “I’ll show you how to fix
it so it won’t register!”
QUITE SOUND
Into a drugstore came a woman
with a bottle, which she handed
to the proprietor.
“Is that all right to take?” she
asked.
The chemist inspected the bot-
tle.
“You didn’t buy it here,” he
said, politely.
“Oh, no. It’s a nerve tonic I
saw advertised. I felt dubious
about it, and thought you’d tell
me whether I ought to take it.”
The chemist handed the bottle
back.
“II don’t think,” he replied,
“there is any necessity for you to
take it. There’s nothing wrong
with your nerve.”
BY GUM!
First parson: “I’ve been in the
habit of buying two sermons
every Sunday. Now that the de-
pression has come I can afford
to buy but one.”
Second Parson: ‘ ‘ How do you
manage them?”
First Parson: “I deliver the
bought sermon in the morning
with my false teeth in, and in
the evening 1 use the same ser-
mon with teeth out. In that way
my congregation thinks I am pre-1
aching a different sermon.”
PIGS IS PIGS
A young lawyer, pleading his
first ease, had been retained by
a farmer to prosecute a railway
company for killing twenty-four
hogs. ITe wanted to impress the
jury with the magnitude of the
injury. “Twenty-four; twice the
number in the jury box.”
TRANSMUTATION
Teacher: “Can anyone tell me
what causes trees to become petriti
fled?”
Bright Student; “The wind
makes them rock.”
MODERN VICTOR HERBERT
('Not because you’re fair, dear,
Not because you’re true;
1 Not your golden hair, dear,
! Not your eyes of blue.
Should you ask the reason why I
love you so ... -
It’s because you have a new green
Packard convertible roadster
with a heater and a radio.
QUOTH “E”
Prof: (taking up quiz paper):
“Why the quotation malrks on
this paper?”
Student: “Courtesy to the man
on my left.”
AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE
COMPANION to THOUSANDS
Hundreds of thousands of boys
and young men read THE AM-
ERICAN BOY Magazine every
month and consider it more as a
living companion than as a'mag-
azine,
“It’s as much a buddy to me
as my neighborhood chum,” rites
one high school senior. “THE
AMERICAN BOY seems to un-
derstand a boy’s problems and
considers them in such a sym-
pathetic and helpful way. It gives
advice and entertaining reading
on every subject in which a young
fellow is interested. It is particul-
arly helpful in sports. I made
our school basketball tea^n be-
cause of playing tips I read in
THE AMERICAN BOY.”
M:any famous athletes in all
cess to helpful suggestions receiv-
sports credit much to their suc-
ed from sports articles carried in
THE AMERICAN BOY Maga-
zine. Virtually every issue offers
player. Football, basketball, track,
advice from a famous coach or
tennis, in fact every major sport
is covered in fiction and fact
articles.
Teachers, librarians, ■ parents
and leaders of boys clubs also re-
commend THE AMERICAN BOY
enthusiastically. They have found
that as a general rule regular
readers of THE AMERICAN
BOY advance piore rapidly and
dcvelope more wp*# while cha-
racteristics than do boys who do
not read it.
Trained writers and artists, fa-
mous coaches and athletes, explor-
ers, scientists and men success-
ful in business and industry join
with an experienced staff to pro-
duce in THE AMERICAN BOY,
the sort of reading matter boys
