Disaster relief work, service to dls

lic health work and Us many other
activities caused expenditures of $11,-
064,000 by the American Red Cross
(or the year ended June 30, 1929, ac-

This work by the Red Cross Is sup

Chairman, said:
Tbe Red Cross Is a volunteer so-

agency In that the President of the

Octogenarian Digs Gold
in Hit Own Back Yard
Independence. 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:

Sallye Skinner aint satisfied because

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

foreclosures annually to every 5 town
ships, 101 flappers to every 2 girls

Uncle Joe is by far the most absent-

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

he had invested in a radio. He went
home the other night and wound up
the cat and kicked the clock out of the

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

• The region heretofore worked only
by geologists and not before by pa
