Reason to Be Nervous
One day Judge Landis was trying
a bankruptcy case, wherein the de-
fendant was charged with conceal-
ing assets from his creditors. His
Honor was amazed to Hear the man
openly admit on the witness stand
that he had destroyed all the papers
which might throw light upon the
charge.
“Why did you bum the papers?”
the Judge demanded.
“I was nervous,” the defendant
replied.
“Are you nervous now?” his honor
wanted to know.
“I don’t know,” the man replied.
“Then I’ll find out,” said Landis.
Suiting action to word, Judge
Landis slowly descended from his
bench, took out his watch, and timed
the defendant’s pulse.
“No,” his honor finally decided,
“you don’t seem to be nervous—but
you should be.”
“Why?” the defendant inquired.
“Because,” Judge Landis wryly
rejoined, “in about 10 minutes I’m
going to send you to jail.”
‘Starter' Fertilizer
Boosts Tomato Yield
Best Results Obtained
With Cannery Produce
Tomato yields have been increased
greatly by scientists who used start-
er solutions at transplanting time.
Completely soluble, high analysis
fertilizers now are available which
will make excellent “starter or
transplanting solutions for cannery
tomatoes, according to the New
York state experiment station.
One of the best of the new
formulas is a 15-30-14 combination
of chemically pure ingredients
which dissolves completely in water,
thus avoiding the time and trouble

It’s the big task of Panhandle school system
to give the best training within its power for the
student body.
And it’s the big job of RUFE HARDWARE
to give our customers the best merchandise pos-
sible at fair prices.
So, our schools and Rufe Hardware are en-

An old lady stepped up to the
ticket window in a railway station
and asked. “How much is a ticket
to Cleveland?”
“That’s two dollars and sixty-five
cents,” replied the ticket seller.
The old lady said. “I guess I may
as well buy my ticket here. I’ve
asked at all these windows now, and
they all charge the same price.”
of straining out the insoluble resi-
due which results if ordinary fertil-
izers are used for this purpose. Ex-
cellent results may be obtained from
using the 15-30-14 formula at the
rate of four pounds to 50 gallons of
water, or 10 pounds of a 5-10-5 to
the same amount of water.
The solution is applied at trans-
planting time at the rate of one-
! fourth pint to the plant. Increased
yields of a ton and a half of to-
matoes are not uncommon from the
use of these solutions, which cost
|less than $1 an acre for materials.
I The beneficial effects are especially
‘marked at the first picking of can-
nery tomatoes. Market gardeners are
not likely to find the practice so
. beneficial because of the more in-
tensive fertilization of their land
! and the better nourished plants they
'usually employ.

“I’m not going to,” was the
reply, “I was just counting my

CANNIBALISM
.Precautions Suggested
;To Cut Haying Mishaps
} Haying mishaps annually account
i for a large percentage of the mount-
' ing farm accident toll, National
Safety council points out in urging
farmers to take extra precautions
| during the haying season.
To reduce hazards and thus avoid
disastrous losses, here are a few
•suggestions:
j Carefully check all equipment for
J defective hitches, ropes, pulleys,
! lifts, hay racks or ladders. Loft
| floors should be put in good repair
jand hay chutes guarded,
i Make starts and stops gradually
'■in all haying operations and watch
out for falls from hay racks, hay
i stacks and hay mows,
j Machinery should be stopped and
i thrown out of gear before oiling, ad-
! justing or unclogging, and safety
, guards should be kept in place at
' all times.
Pitchforks are dangerous; always
place them where they are in plain
sight of all worker?. Never throw a
pitchfork.
Do not wear loose or ragged cloth-
ing which may catch easily in mov-
ing machinery.
Damp hay is one of the principal
causes of barn fires. Be sure the
hay is well cured before storing and
check regularly for several weeks
for any signs of heating.
T1NAN, MARIANAS ISLANDS.—
The airfield that hurled the atom
bomb against Japan lies deserted.
Wild cattle roam across the great
landing strips.
Nobody cares. There is nobody to
care.
This base, with probably the
world’s greatest array of runways,
has been abandoned.
Runway "Abel” is the one that
the atom bombers used. But there
are six others, all paved with white
coral that makes them glare under
the Pacific sun. Laid out parallel,
they form great grids across the
green island.
Each runway is 8,500 feet long
and 500 feet wide—the envy of every
American airport, but just an an-
noyance to cattle searching for !
pasture.
Near the sea is the building where
the atom bombs were assembled.
Typhoons have torn open its sides.
Artillery ammunition is stored in-
side. The ammunition cases are
rotting
Filled With Water
A little farther on are two pits
where atomic bombs once rested.
Now they are partly filled with
water. A frog, disturbed by the first
visitor in weeks, leaped into the
water, and stuck his head out pro-
testingly.
An occasional plane lands at the
strip at the other end of the grid.
There is no airport radio, so the
plane before landing buzzes the field
to alert a crash crew.
Stretching away from the air
strips are paved roads marked
“Broadway” and “Eighth Ave.”
Each is nine miles long. Each is
polka-dotted with thousands of
African snails, descendants of the
snails which the Japanese brought
here to eat.
They menace the only commercial
undertaking on the island—a farm
intended to furnish fresh vegetables
to American service personnel on
Guam and Saipan. A half-dozen
navy men tend the rusting Tinian
port, and about 200 army men have
been destroying the staggering piles
of aerial bombs which were aban-
doned when the war ended. Now
that work has stopped to save the
bombs for China.
Cost 290 Liv^i
Some 16,000 oriental civilians sur-
vived on Tinian when the U. S.
Marines captured the island in a
nine-day campaign in July, 1944, at
the cost of 290 American lives. When
the war closed, the United States
sent the Tinian residents back to
their original homes — Japan, Oki-
nawa, Iwo Jima and Korea. Now a
i civilian population would be wel-
comed.
The island of 36 square miles is
loaded with hangars, barracks and
other ground installations that would
serve as housing if maintained.
Right now, the buildings are
slowly caving in. But the landing
strips, which together used to put
B-29’s in the air at the rate of one
every 10 seconds, are in perfect con-
dition and could be cleared quickly
of the cows, frogs and snails if the
need arose.
Little Boy in woodshed: “Father,
did grandpa spank you when you
were a little boy?”
Father with a paddle: “Yes, my
son.”
Little Boy: “And did great-grand-
pa spank grandpa when he was a
little boy?”
Father: “Yes, son.” '
Boy: “And did great-great-grand-
pa spank great-grandpa?”
Father: “Yes.”
Boy: “Well, don’t you think with
my help you could overcome this
inherited rowdyism?”

“Sure,” replied the accused one,
“that’s my nightcap.”

Woman Fights With Burglar;
Uses Telephone as Weapon
LOS ANGELES. — The burglar
who entered Mrs. Henry H. Fran-
cis’ apartment had a telephone
thrown at him. Mrs. Francis is a
telephone operator.
“I think I broke his nose,” she
told attendants at a receiving hos-
pital where she was treated for rib
injuries. “I woke up to find this
fellow rummaging in a drawer. 1
started chasing him. I caught him
in the front room. The only thing
handy was the telephone. I let him
have it.
“The burglar grabbed a heavy
book of poetry. The poetry itself,
by the way, is pretty light stuff.
Anyhow, we fought in the dark and |
1 guess he knocked me out, because
when my husband came home from
work at 6 a. m. he found me un-
conscious.”
Mrs. Francis admitted she was
screaming during the fight “but
when I hit that guy with the phone
he was screaming, too.”
Harold was, or had been, Aunt
Matilda’s favorite nephew. His
name was still on the list for the
annual gift distribution.
“What did you give him last
year?” asked her companion.
“A check for $25,” said Auntie, 1
“and, poor boy, he told me he
couldn’t find words with which to
thank me.”
“And what are you giving him
this year?”
“A dictionary.”

Mirrors Help Stutterers
Correct Speech Defects
MINNEAPOLIS.—It isn’t unusual
to see students making strange
faces in a huge mirror at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota.
It is one of the newer methods
the school is trying out to cure
stuttering.
Each year, the university treats
about 60 stutterers and about 300
others who have speech defects. The
reason for the mirror is that it re-
flects habits students have develop-
ed in their fight not to stutter, such
as deep breathing, hard swallowing
and whistling through their teeth.
In all. nearly 1,000 students and
several non-students are treated
with clinic facilities each year.
Many of them are hard of hearing
and, because of injuries or otfiei
reasons, never have heard corjftfj
pronunciation of word^ .affiailffiitf
