The frolicsome juvenile displays a marked
preference for die telephone as a plaything.
Mischievous lurtds delight in dismembering
rhis useful instrument. Chubby faces grojr
pink with exertion as these small rascal#
pound the telephone merrily against the
wall or whack it vigorously on rise floor.
In spue of their sturdy appear a n< c, tele*
phones are delicate instrument, and hence
die mortality rate among them at the hand;
of children is alarmingly high.
In the interest of good service,
which is always essential, we ask
that parents discourage their
youngsters front using the telephone

Uncle Joe says Chat every time cotton
yops up 25 points a notice come*
out in the paper that cotton mills
m a certain section are beginning to
curtail, and hum! down cotton goes
again. He thinks the mills have
the lid <>n cotton prices and can close
or open it at will, but Pshaw! Uncle
.!'* don't know .lothing about such
' hi rigs. He-man and Sup-lie make
the price of cotton, and consumption
only settles in the lungs.

Oil is Well That Ends Well
l.et me see. Who wen those 2
men tried in the supreme court not
long ago for stealing a, few oil fields
from Uncle Sam? I just can't remember
what penitentiery they were
sent to, nor can I recall the number
of years they were sent up. And that
jury: how long was that automobile
that somebody offered one of them
to see that a mistrial was made"
Courts don't seem to "Do-henny"

I don't believe in germs as strongly
I used to. I <oc some folks
now and then that germs simply
could not live on or about. A germ
can't stand everything. There ought
to be a law passed to protect the
germs. I went into a man's store
not long ago and I met 23 germs comi
g out, and 19 more germs were sitj
ting up on his cake of cheese hold1

Aaron Skimp liked his new preacher
so well that he subscribed 40 dollars
to his upkeep. Aaron always
would subscrij^to a thing. He attended
church pretty well for 2
months, but never did pay any part
! of his subscription. In 6 months,
i he was talking about the preacher a
j right smart. In 8 months, he inti,
mated that the preacher was about
! the sorriest he ever heard. At the
end of 12 months, he had begun to
' talk about the preacher's wife and
family. The more he owed the
j preacher, the worse he liked him, and
j the longer he waited to pay him anything
the more he belly-ached.

Worry
When it comes to worrying I believe
I am head and shoulders above
everybody. . I frequently worry an
hour or two at a time because I can't
think of anything to worry about.
I worry if it rains, because I am
afraid it will rain too much; I worry
if it doesn't rain and when it's cold
I worry because it might get so cold
that it will kill the grain I have
planted, but still I always worry because
I am afraid it won't get cold
enough to kill the boll weevil. So,
I worry, worry, worry.
1 worry when a note comes due,
I m afraid the bank won't renew it,
and when they renew it, I worry because
I had to pay the interest.
When I buy a new car, which is once
every 4 or 5 years, I worry because
I feel sure, a new model will be out
the following week and then I keep
?n worrying because the., price will
be cut. (It always has been cut,
too.)
I cross all of the bridges before I
get to them. I have run foot races
with bridges a thousand times. No
bridges can got ahead of me. When
a pimple conies on my face I know
it's the beginning of a cancer, and
after I have forgotten it and feel a
pain in my stummick I reach the conclusion
instantly that the doctor
didn t take out all of my appendix a
year or so ago, and <the. end that he
left is fixing to burst.
The other day some of m> folks
borrowed my ear and went away in it
to spend the night. I worried all
night because I was afraid they would
drain the radiator and let ali my dollar's
worth of alcdhol spill out on
the ground, hut the next minute I began
worrying because 1 was afraid,
mebbe, I didn't put enough alcohol
in it to keep it from freezing and
pang! went 40 dollars for a new
radiator.
When somebody tells me that
somebody called n?c on the phone
while I was out, 1 begin to woiry
sure e:iouj?ir then. I think that perhaps
one of my mules had died and
the tenant was trying to phone me
about it. or that my store had been
broken into by a thief, and I was
needed to help hunt him down. If
i I cough 3 times I realize that nearly
half of my uncles died of pneu!
monia and if I sneeze twice. I've got
i the flu.
No. sir-rce: there ain't arc end to
'it- Old trouble is always on my trail,
j Worry rooms with me and loops in
, my arms. It Nticks closer to me
. than a porous plaster. It never jets
l>eyond the end of my nose. It i?
J Whind me and in front of me and on
my head and under my feet, but, right

now, I can't recall having had very
much to worry albout, but I am worrying
because I'm afraid that folks who
read this will think I'm a bigger fool
than I really am, but I ain't.
