The radio is indeed a v. nderful invention.
It would have been a more
wonderful invention if nature had
not come along and invented static.
Static is what you have t > endure in
order to enjoy the radio. When
mother sings some sweeL song if 1 uti
effort to put the baby t<> sleep and
the baby cries like the very dickens,
Unit's representee of the radio,?mu|
sic and static combined.
! There are more different kinds ot
noises in a radio than there are democrats
on the Mast Side. Who.)
static is at its very best, our radio
sounds like ^ pea-thresher being fed
on wire nail-, and a monkey wrench
tunning thru a corn-sbeller, and a
, saw-mill cutting knots, and., a few
cats, and several fellows trying to
whistle three sheets in the wind.
So met i in - I ffel o mad I decide to
kick the denied thing in the stum1
rnick and go to bed, hut my wife is
always around.
i 1 wish somebody would invent a
radii/ that would spit in the guy's face
who is forever fumbling and meddling
with the dials after he's getting
a good station perfectly. Only
one "tuner-in" out of 1000 is satisi
tied with the manner the stuff is
coming in, and all the balance of the
i hunch is forever twisting the tails
' of the volume and sensitivity wheels,
j and consequently nobody gets to hear
I much of anything, and mostly nothing
| of everything.
I like the radio fine. It has many
things of merit about it. It will
,, keep a man up so late at night that
1 i he will have to sleep late the next
; morning, and what's finer than sleeping
late in the morning? And
another thing, all sermons are free.
No collection plates, nobody crowding
you out of your pew, and no
weary, worn, pious faces to gaze unon.
It is always a remarkable thing
to me t-> note how solemn and howsad
old women can look while at
' church. It's a wonder that nearly
all of them don't die of sadness and
' sorrow befoic the sermon is huh' over.
... .,
And the radio furnishes another
National sport?that of meeting the
I instalments on the nose on the first
j day of each month. It is indeed a
j great pleasure to pay for a thing
j when you have the money, hut when
j you aint got it?children, dogs, cats.
, and other folks had better stay out of
' the way. Money is a great thing
I when you can't get. it. The republi cans
promise continued prosperity
(?) after Hoover is elected, and that
means that mebbe the 14,000,000
people in the United States who are
out of employment will get a job and
make some money of their own so's
Tri' :o radio instalments can be met.
Ihi^ concludes our program from
staiinn B-U-N-K, good nigltt.

Where Do You (jo In?
The present-day architecture is I
getting my goat. The houses we live ;
!n no longer look iike houses. It'a
disgrace now to have a piizzer. The
chimney is in the front yard., Th. :
dining-room is in the parlor. Th?
bed-room is up stairs. The kitchen!
is built in back wards. The living
room is bigger than the rest of th
residence, and nobody ever lives it
it. 1 he breakfast room is about th<
, size of your list. The bath-tub )V "
I feet long.- And the front steps aYe
. at the back and the hack dood"~is at
I the front. Wonder what's comi-g
I next?

! 1 have lots and lots of b'fcd hi.
I no other- evening i was hoppi- g
! mround ;i a swimming poo!, a d
nr.ving a good t me generally. I *;,w
What 1 thougiit to be one of th- ,c
striped barrel floats coming my wav,
and I tnought I'd jump up n-stnuhile
ot it. and proceeded to do so. Imagine
my surprize when this barrel
turned out to be old Mrs. Simkins
who was doing the back^swim. She
cussed me from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico and return. Women
ought to quit dressing and looking
so much like barrels, especially
when they are both in the same pond.
Let Me Have a Hair of Bi-Focals
Dresses are getting shorter and
shorter and stockings are getting
longer and longer. Skirts look more
like lamp-shades than anything else.
It is a breach of etiquette and shows
ill-hrceding for any woman to wear
a garment that can't be seen thru
and thru without eye strain, Bobs,
bed hair is leaving and the majority
of females now look like they are
just returning from typhoid fever.
Lip-sticks are disappearing and
freckles are returning. It wont bo
long now before our girls will be
looking like human beings"~(un.irc>s~
ed) and soda water can be bought for
a nickel.
And Then He Said?
We have been reliably informed
that all of the prohibition agents In
Florida are stone blind and are also
minus smellers. It's the rarest thing
open saloons in that country are raided^
Oh, _ well; since, the "blinder
boys" left Florida, something.had to
be substituted. A man can get so
drunk even now that he will apprei
date a corner lot or a water-front
' a
What Next?
A Papis fashion magazine says
that bustles will be worn next season.
Now, boys?wouldn't a bustle look
cute holding up one of those presentday
model drckses? Why," the poo*
little dress would poke right straight
out behind, and a woman wearing the
aforesaid contraption would hafter
walk backwards all the time to keep
from being utterly disgraced from
the rear.

Wind Storm Insurance
THE DAMAGE IS DONE
The windstorm has done its damage and now we
are hearing the old questions about tornado insurance;
asking \vfoat it is, what it can do and how much it costs.
"The time to find out is NOW?before the next
storm. Remember that a policy carried year after
year is an investment in security. When allowed to
lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different
than gambling. The rates are reasonable; the protection
sure.

Dunning and former State Constable
A. I> McKinnon, charged with murder
in connection with the fatal shooting
of Robert Johnson, negro, at a still
neat i'inewood Vj? Oetober 6, surrendered
to Sheriff C. M. Hurst this
moming and a short time later were
released under $3,000 bond each.
A - - is la nt District Attorney Shimel,
in enurge of the ease for the federal
govi runent, applied to Judge S. W.
Shi| p nt Florence for the release of
the men under bond and the amount
wh- set at $3,000 for each one. ?
, li is probable that the case ugainstj
the four men will be placed before;
the grand jury which convenes here
next Monday and true bills asked by
Solicitor F. A. McLeod.
The warrants were sworn out|
against the officers following the
finding of a cororer's jury, sitting at
I I'inewood, that Johnson met his death
at tile hands of the party of four
raiders.
The body of Johnson was found in
the bushes near the still the day
after the raid made by the four officers.
He had been shot through
the back, the bullet piercing his heart
and probably causing almost instani j
death. The four negroes captured at
the still were the principal witnesses
heard by the coroner's jury. They all
testified that Johnson was at the
still when the officers made the raid
and that he hud tried to escape along
w:tti the others, running off in the
woods, where his h< <!\ was later
found. No shots were fired except
