ThiH 1m Daylight Saving Time
The reason that there ia so much
stealing going on nowadays is?it
costs lota of money to run automobiles
and automobiles must run.
Now Uncle Joe's Sannmie says thHt
the man ain't paying him all he'.i
worth for clerking in his store, so
he just knocks down a dollar or two
now and then. He has paid the Hth
installment on his car and has not
had to borrow a cent so far from anybody.
Sammie's wages are 11 dollars a
week and he has to pay only 4 dollars
for board and 1 dollar for coca
Cpla and 2 dollars for laundry work
and 1 dollar for dry cleaning and 3
dollars for picture shows and hair
cuts and massages and 7 dollars for
gas and oil and 2 dollars for repairs,
he manages to save enough
each week to meet his 12-dollar installments
which come on Saturday
after a busy day.
Sammio fell out with Sellem & Lieliverem
when old man Sellem jacked
him up one day because he forgot
to ring up 5 dollars he got for some
groceries. Sp>mmie claims that he is
naturally forgetful and that old man
Sellem (Yes, that's what he called
Mr, Sellem) acted too hasty in raising
sand. He says he has gone several
days just lots of times before
he would think, to register a cash
sale and lots of times he had spent
some %f the money before he discovered
that it was not his'n.
Times ain't like they useter be. i
A promise is merely a statement of
prospects to the average man of
today. So-called reliable men don't
seem to think anything of letting
their .notes go a few days past due
or their grocery accounts pile up for
several months. They do not seem
to realize it, but those things causeJ
them to lose their credit. A man
can get along better with a good
credit than he can with some money
since dependability became to scarce
'in the busiuetja, w<irld.
\
If you would find out about your
neighbor, utsk a filling station keeper
how he paya hia bills, or watch
the expreasion of hia phyaician when f
you mention /hia name, or take no- d
tice of how he contributea to the "
church and charity, or better still? tJ
see how hia cook and washer-woman 0
are faring at hie. hands. 80, folks, c
there a not much necessary stealing V
going on: that is?the 19 and 30- {
model thieves are hunting inner tubes ^
Hnd casings and tobacco and cash. v
They are not looking for meat and 1
bread; it's luxuries that they are af- (
things that they can do without. '

The ^Btraw Vote c

ney york City.
deer sirs:? 1
i rec d my postal card today which ^
you sent me so's i could be 1 of 1
ycre straw voters, but if you happen
to be all wet, you sent the sed' straw 1
to the wrong feller and i will tell
you.the reasons why as followers:
1. the Volstead law is in forced
just about as well as anny other law '
on the law books, you see it's thi* 1
way: if a judge murders a man, he 1
can t be a judge verry well and if a 1
policeman steals a ottermoboel, he '
ain t considered fitten tq,arrest otherfolks
for doing the same thing.
2. but a judge can drink whiskey
and still try whiskey cases and a officer
can drink and sell^whiskey and
still put other folks in jail for the
same off fence, so you see the Volstead
is not being give a square deal
ansoforth. and if the church members
waster quit dirnking booze the
bootleggers would starve to deth befoar
breakfast.
3. and the reason i am going to
vote against lieker is because twothirds
of the folks in the world ain't
got much sense when they are sober
and none a tall when they are drunk,
and further more, i don't see no business
houses and school boards out
hunting folks to work for them that
drink whiskey, so who wants. it except
you all?
4. it a 11 so looks to me like you
ought not to count the votes you
get in new york and Chicago as a
big per cent of the folks in them
towns would vote for hell to be moved
under the city halls and would
welcome the devil as a dinner gest
after a few rounds of prize fighting
and bumb throwings and shot-gun
killings, and it would not be fare
to include such folks as they ain't
citisons.
5. voting on pro hfbition is sorter
like flirting with a flapper when
you alreddy have a wife, the country
has it now and the bunch who
is in favor of pro hibition won't
worry themselves about voting in the
race?as they are satisfied as it is.
so i am in favor of letting we'l
enuf alone, so be sure to co-unt my
vote.
6. whiskey and ottermoheels and
fools can't be mixed. vl^Avae- not ?0
bad 25 yrs. ago to get drunk and go
down the road whipping old "dobbin"
everry jump?because there wasn't
noboddy in the road but you, and
if they hnd of been, they could of
got out of the way as you was hollering
like the devil all the time, rite
or foam if you want me to rite annv
more peaces on your election, voting
on the question now is like voting
for hoover fob president when
he is that befoar hand.

Kentucky Passes Retail Sales Tax
Frankfort, Ky., March 21.?A
stormy six-day session of the Democratic-controlled
Kentucky general
assembly came to a noisy close early

bills that put out of office the

Coleman DuPont buy Cumberland
^alls and present it to the state for

declared to be directed at chain
stores. This measure the governor
signed.

"CURSE OF BNAKES"
Veird Story of How Witch Had ltcp*
tile# Follow Him In Africa
Strange stories of a witch's curse
ire told by Mr. Frank Hive#, once n
listriet commissioner in Africa, in
Ju Ju and Justice in Nigeria." Ono
f Mr. Hives' most uncanny ox|>ennces
was that of having "the snake
urso" put on him by an old woman
vho believed him to be responsible
or her son's imprisonment. Snakes
d all sizes and varieties followed him
vherever he went. He found them
n his bed and in his boots. Most
if them were poisonous, and one was
nore than five feet long. The old
voman waited for him outside his
ompound at Obudu, and put the
make curse on him in front of his
nttive servants and the whole village.
"I might have had her locked up
rs a crazy person.but after a
vhile I could not have given the orler,
for I felt as though I were beiig
hypnotized, and could only stare
rlankly at her."
The following ufternoon, Mr. Hives
pound a fat, brown snake coiled up on
lis bed. His orderly decapitated it
with a hutchet. Within three days
fifteen snakes were found and killed,
ii1 in places where he was likely to
<o. Mr. Hives decided to leave the
station, Hut us soon as he reached
fiis destination he found several basking
in the sun on the low mud walls.
"Then, when I was usleep undc
my mosquito curtain that night,"
says Mr. Hives, "I was disturbed by a
'flop' above me. When I raised my
hand it came in contact with something
heavy that was making the
curtain sag almost down to my face.
Cautiously, I touched it again and felt
the cold, clammy coils of a snuke."
He then decided to return to Obudu'
and find the old woman who had
cursed him. As soon as he arrived
he found a snake on top of his boxes
and Mr. Hiv*es shot himself in the
foot in an attempt to kill it. Mr.
Hives produced his false teeth and
snapped then in the witch's face, declaring
in a loud voico that if she
did not remove the snake curse, his
teeth would haunt her and bite her
for the rest of her days. Luckily
the witch believed him, and Mr. Hives
was never troubled by snakes again.

wUs authentic record was a few
inches more than 30 feet in length.

To Which Class Will You Belong?
There are' two classes in every community?the savers and the
non-savers. The savers are sacrificing now perhaps. The non-savers
are going on in their happy-go-lucky way, spending every cent they
earn. It does not take much of a prophet to tell which class of persons
will be in the more comfortable circumstances ten or twenty years
from now.
