Mo.—About two years ago two friends of Samuel H. Boyd- •ton, eighty-six, were visiting him. One had an instrument for detecting gold. They went gold detecting In Boydston'g yard. The Instrument reg istered gold. Since then the aged man has been Page Mr. Trust Buster. Speaking of larceny after trust, at the time this article is being written, the farmers are being paid the muni ficent sum of 27 dollars per ton for their cotton seed, but cotton seed hulls are selling on the market at 12 dol lars per ton and cottonseed meal is fetching 40 dollars per ton and cot ton seed oil is in demand at 150 dol lars per ton. Will some friend of the farm relief board kindly explain which wood-pile the nigger happens to be in at present? AND THAT REMINDS ME: overcoat is at the pawn-ahop. Miss Sallye Skinner aint satisfied because that wart on tier lower limb lent above her knee. Old man Stultz thinks Mrs. Smith i s much prettier than his own wife. And vitamins are found only in stfiff that aint fit to eat. Everybody seems to be getting along better than we are, and there you are. It’s gener ally one thing or another and some times both of ’em at the same time. . . . as the chief bridge player of our town said when twin 8 arrived at their house. Once upon a time, an old darkey came hobbling up to a bunch of col lege boys with whom he was familiar and said: ' "See here, gcntermens: If you all will guess how many possums de old nigger has in dis here bag, Til give you bofe of ’em." One of the seniors who happened-to be quick at mathematics and miscellaneous divin ation replied "2," but the old fellow replied—"Well, I’se ginner stick to my bargain almost, but I believes dat somebody’s done tuck and told you, however if you will gimme de possum’s hide, >ou can have him for 10 cents." Farming is full of promises in the spring and summer but it usually overloaded with disappointments at the harvest time. If it is not a short crop, it is a storm, and if not a storm has come to ruin your crops, it is the weevil or the worm, ' and if the weevil and worm have passed you by, it is the price, but the grindstone turns right on and shorter and short er becometh the nose of the farmer, AND THAT TOO REMINDS ME: Vital Statistics. America now has 1 automobile to every 6 persons, 1 filling station to every 6 automobiles, 2 installment col lectors to every 3 families, 867 chat tel mortgages to every city block, 325 foreclosures annually to every 5 town ships, 101 flappers to every 2 girls that can cook and mind a baby, 19 deadbeats to every 7 honest men, 14 hypocrites to every 2 pious people, 10 grafters to every 10 dependable poli ticians, and 9 yo-yos to every man woman and child over 3 years old. radium, diamond ear-bobs, watch springs, atter of roses and gold nuggets if the Interstate Commerce Commission would give its consent to let them raise the rates on coal, sugar, fertilizer, wheat, corn, oats and auto mobiles. I have always found the railroad companies *to be very liberal per ton mile, and if they continue to depend on passenger traffic for any portion of their income, they will cer tainly bus.

We predict a higher tariff on essentials and fewer Hoover democrats at the polls 4 yean hence, therefore sell your Januarys. I bought a nice bowl of soup once . . . with my very last dime. That soup was put before me in all it’s glory. It was seasoned to a "t,” it had just the kinds of vegetables in it that my stummick yearned for and and a yellow’ hunk of butter floated on the top thereof be-speaking the quality of the condiment. I reached for and got a spoon and took my first swallow and smacked my lips amidst rejoicing, and then I dipped deep into the dish and took a second spoonful of the delicious beverage and rejoiced some more in my good luck and just BDdiDS ,he “ re ln Sm "". ab0Ut the time 1 W *’ ready t0 fil1 The gold mine mny never prove of n '^ ^pen-stretched mouth for the 3rd much value to him.

If it freezes, your He Lost His Heed. Uncle Joe is by far the most absent- minded men I ever sew. He came to town last week to pay hi s taxes, but he took the money Aunt Minervy gave him for that purpose and bought a box of Brown’s Mule tobacco and a balloon casing. And just last Sabbath, it developed that he left his britches at the dry cleaner's and he couldn’t go to church. He forgot all about his September lent till yesterday, after he had invested in a radio. He went home the other night and wound up the cat and kicked the clock out of the back do6r, and furthermore, he un dressed and put his colthes in the bed and threw himself on the floor where he slept all night. Why, he ought to be a plumber by rights. 26 Injured, 2 Hurt. A sad accident happened in our community last week. A truck car rying 14 men out to put up one of those “slow-down” signs near a bridge ran into another highway truck carry ing 14 men who had been sent o^it to take down the old sign, and all 28 of them were badly bruised about the feet and hands. Both drivers were at fault as they were running nearly 2 miles an hour and forgot to look up from the books thejTwere reading. ^ ♦ TAIL OF DINOSAUR FOUND ON DESERT NOTICE!

A 15- foot tall belonging to one of tbe giant reptiles before It was transformed In to rock millions of yearn ago, has been uncovered by a Smithsonian expedition in the Hnn Juan basin In New Mexico. It was complete, with all Joists In tact, bnt there was no trace of tbe rest of the beast, which browsed on Hants or animnls before the Ice sheets blanketed a part of the world. Parts of a skull of a horned dino saur. never before found In fauna of the same formation, were unearthed and a collection was made of more than 20 turtles, all practically com plete. The turtles, some measuring three feet In length, represented both j land and water types. The desert sand, pierced by sage brush and scanty vegetation and now the home of Navajo Indians peace fully tending herds of sheep, was rich wMth surface Indications of the an cient reptiles. ■ The ground, according to Dr Charles W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate pa leontology of the National museum I and head of the expedition, was lit erally covered with fragments of dino saur bones. • The region heretofore worked only by geologists and not before by pa leontologists, was covered with wind blown sand. When the giant reptiles roamed the land mllllon»of years ago, the area was one of swamp land. The bones uncovered were petrified or agatized. - * Finds Chicago First to ' Call Policemen ‘Coppers’ New York.—A member of the police force Is a “bobby” or a “copper,” ac cording to where you were born.
