How to Tell What Your NeiKhbor
Had for Breakfast,
1,. .If you notice a few egg splotches
on hj* veot, why, er-er, let me
sec, he must have had egga for
breakfast unless of course, ho likes
mayonnaise at his morning meal: it
could be mayonnaise splotches.
'' ?-? gr
2...If he sneezes on the way to his
office, ami a drove of sparrows make
a dive for the neighborhood of the
said sneeze, he is it drytoast victim.
Lots of women don't know any better
(yet) than to feed their husbands on
that kind of stutf.
.'{...If he has dust or shavings all
over hiifc lap, he's surely been eat fag
cornflakes or bran or some so-called
t breakfast food. It ffi possible to decide
more definitely as to which ceroid
* he has had to enjoy for the recent
repast if you'll notic^f his whiskers
closely, that is, if he has any whis
'' ^ kors. ^
4..If he has brown .spots on his
jaws and chin, you can put it down
that those fc-pots were caused hy dipping
or sousing his toast in his coffee.
A great many semi-toothless
gentlemen can't handle toast in any
other manner. It softens it by this
process, but it leaks and splashes ,
'slightly while \>eing devoured hur?
' riedly.
5...If he is seen picking his teeth
with his pocket knife or screwdriver,,
ho's gtfilty of trying to eat some
steak he bought because it was cheap.
Steak gravy makes black or very
dark places on his vest, shirt, or
trousers, so, if in doubt as to
whether or not he has had steak, the
gravy spots will help you to identify
his meal.
G.. .If he has a wife who enjoys
bridge more than she enjoys homemaking,
you can tell that he has
light-bread- and butter for breakfast
if you observe some soft crumbs adhering
to his lips or nose. It is hard
to find a napkin to wipe litter ofT
one's mouth while your wife is in bed
sleeping late, as usual, and the cook
aint coming. (I sincerely hope these
few suggestions will be helpful to all
neighbors and it will save you from(
trying what the other crowd
is cooking for breakfast, which certainly
aint country ham these hard
times.)

city,
deer sirs:
i am riting to%a>k you to please
cancel my note at yore bank, as i
can't pay it and ?kcep my car running
and my 2 boys and 3 girls in colledge
and finnish payment for my radio and
pianner. i declared a morytorium on it
last year, but i am in worser fix this
year than last. . . .ohner count of i
had to trade in autos.
I think it is nothing but- right to
cancel my dett at your bank, as it
was your duty to hepp me make a
crop in ID and 30, and as it did not
fetch enough to pay my home oblergation-s,
it is yore loss, you don't
seem to reckernize my morytorium
which I put on at the same time" mr.
hoover gave one to franee, great britain,
england, germanny, and Europe;
You keep on wasting postage on me.
my familey needs shoes and clothes
and you have put such a high tariff
on yoremonney that i can not afford
to try to borry any more and you ailso
charge us customers c'2 for ever
check we rite, but we have quit ritin
checks, as we have no monney to rite
them against, if you will cancel my
notes, this will give me a big chance
to do some more business with you.
i nm verry much like poor little
belgium which wa? over-run by the
itlay-ans and germans and rushians:
, i can not pay even the intrust on
what i owe you, mutch less all of
same, when you cancel my dctts and
cut yore intrust rates to 3 percent
and lorn me some more monney on
my plain not of hand, then i will have
ea.sh to spend with the merchants who
w?t! rr-depo?TTtt :t hack m yore hank,
so you won't miss it hut a few days,
and then it will be yore money again.
rite or foam nu- at once if i may
depend or. cancellation, i do not need
a morytorium from you. as I can
handle that part of the bizness myself.
l worked hard the year i lost
..yore monney, and you can't blame me
as i done my part, ft diddent rain verry
mutch and the gov\ ernme.nl let the
bugs and weevils eat up everything i
raised, i feel sure that you will consider
it yore duty to cancel everything,
as i have been yore alley for
a large number of years.
yorestrulie,
mike Clark, rfd.

Senator Would
| Behead Bankers
(ireenvilie, Doc. tt.---*Bank officials
or Employes \yho appropriate the institution's
money to their own use
should have their heads chopped off,"
says Greenville county's state Senator,
C? E. (Mountain Lion) Sloan.
1). Gordon Baker, Florence member
of a committee making a study of.
state banking luws, had written Sloan
along with other members of the gen
eral assembly, asking their views on
changes in banking law*.
"I am heartily in favor of legislation
that will give protection to depositors,"
wrote Sloan today. "I
would favor bonding all bank officials
and those emplayes who handle funds
in the amount of $100,000 each, and
then if they defaulted, 1 would favor
cutting off their heads."
