flat rock news.
deer mr. editor:—
as yore present corry spondent is
sick this week, i have been asked by
her brother bill (who lives on the
fedral land bank farm which they tak
en, away from mr. jones last yr. on-
ner count he could not pay for his
ford and the land too) to rite up the
flat rock news this week which is as
follows:
born to mrs. oldham 1 baby boy who
ancers to the name of sammie jr after
his daddy who run off a few months
ago when his still was tore up down
on the branch in the rare of his house
by the sheriff but he was never
hatched, both of them seem to be
doinf as well as possible considering
hot haveing much of a doctor with
them and he come too late

to the “other” side of my house. She
insists that the 64 that are not re
lated to her are some of “mine” thgt
are too good to owh it.
The following items were reported
entirely out just as I was leaving for
prayer-meeting last night: Sugar,
coffee, soap, flour, balogna, cheese,
chicken feed, rat poison, perfume,
wash rags, coal, cash, blank checks,
baking powders and ink.
The electric light.that her aunt
left burning in the closet upstairs was
discovered this morning whep the

Our 14 hens seemed terrible ex

rushed out to kill the mink or possum

might be caught . disturbing them.
We found that 1 of the hens had laid
an egg and as it was the first egg the
other 13 hens and 1 rooster ever saw,

was led by me and the organ was
played by miss sallie Clark and base
was sung by derbey Clark and a fid-
asked me last week if 1 kept hens and
I told him yes, but Dot why and how.
We woke up the other morning be
twixt 3:30 a. m., and sun-up with a
terrible pain that reached from 1 end
of our diagram to the center of our
anatomy. The doctor was called and
he came just before the pearly gates
began to open. He asked us what we
ate for supper and we said buscuits
and he said what else and we said a
Authors' Wives
The public may have an Idea that
wives of famous authors are obscure
ladles who say little and back in tbelr
husbands’ fame. That may have been
so years ago, but In these days of
film and talkie rights the wives play
Important parts. The author writes
his novel, sells it to a publisher, mag
azine, or both, and calls it a day.
Whereupon the wife undertakes to
sell the film rights. Aim an author’s
wife at any motion picture magnate
and he will much In terror, for these
women certainly know how to talk
business. They are the ones who get
big prices, whereas soft-headed writ
ers are reputably content with modest
sums. I know of two writers’ wives
who have recently appointed them
selves general managers to their bus-
bands—and with astounding success.
One woman told me that she had just
succeeded In obtaining from t film
concern four times the sum It original
ly offered her husband for the talkie

A Long Memory ^
Alvin Simmons, colored, who has
been hat-check boy In broadcasting
stations since the early days of WJZ,
holds his present job with a large
broadcasting chain because of his
memory and tactfulness. Memory
was slightly stronger than tact the
other night, when a musicinn called
grumpily for his hat. It had been a
hard, hyt gening, and the musician
was grouchy.
“Is that my hat?” he demanded of
Simmons as he pointed to one on the
sbejf.
“It’s the one you’ve been wenrin’,
but It Isn’t yours,” said Simmons. “It
belongs to Mr. Smith, but you picked
It up oy mistake s year ago tbla
month.’’

cake and a stick of candy each which else and we got mad and turned over

the whole community was made
sad last friday night about 9 when
someboddy knocked on our doyr and
told us that old man jack haitshorn

floor and never sed another word ex-

Eye Gymnasium*
Physical culture appears to be los
ing its hold over lowly office work
ers, and in its place comes the eye
gymnasium. Instead of Indulging in
a good, fast game of handball, after
a hard day’s work at ledgers and ac
counts, the white-collar boys now
spend half an hour putting their eye
am muscles in shape.—
“Relieves strain—makes you sleep
like a baby,” they say.
As one member of a Young Men’s
Eye association describes the process
to me, It appears that one’s chin is
firmly held in a ha mess which keeps
the head from turning, and one^ is
called upon to goggle at various mov
ing colored patterns. Just as a dancer
feels that she Is progressing Tn her
studies when she has learned to do
the “split,” so does the eye acrobat
feel encouraged when bis trainer tells
him that he can cover an ocular range
of 180 degrees without turning his
head. **• u

her art for her wealthy husband,
owns a greet done that is about the

keeps him In her Greenwich village

of the hall boys to take him out for

Not long ago a young woman
Ing on a lower floor stepped into the
elevator, and there found the hall boy

woman. She timorously edged her
way to the farthest corner of the ele

All this does not mean, however,

London.—The Smith family of Eg-

claim to being the tallest Smith fam
ily in the world. The father is six

Beet May Be Thrifty
but They’re Dishonest
East Lansing, Mich.—Bees, which
have always been literature’s shining
example of Industry and thrift, aro
now accused by specialists in apicul
ture at Michigan State college, of rot^
bery. i
As a further mark of criminal traits,
the specialists point out that the bees
rob the weak and defenseless mem
bers of tbelr species. Colonies which
have too few members to defend tbelr
honey stores fall victims to Insect
highwaymen if the apiarist Is not care
ful in handling bis bees.
- Owners of bees are advised to con
tract the entrances of hives occupied
by weak colonies. This enables the
few defenders witldn the hive to bar
tbelr door to predatory strangers. If
the hives of weak colonies must be
opened, the work should be done as
rapidly as possible.

Vagaries of Genius.
Nothing is quite so mysterious as
the workings of the human mind. A
study of men classed as geniuses gen
erally shows them to be a little
“cracked” in certain respects. Some-r
times their peculiarities have been
harmless; in others they have led to
positive insanity. A few examples
will illustrate:
Napoleon was afraid of a cat; Peter
the Great was afraid to cross a
bridge* Martin Luther imagined that
the devil appeared to him and he i
threw hig ink bottle at the fKnd; Sam
uel Johnson, Beethoven ai^T Lincoln
at times contemplated suicide.
Among the ridiculou! antics of great
men may be mentioned the occasional
habit of Cardinal Richelieu to gallop
around a billiard table, imagining
himself to be a hens. Acfcyn Smith,
the great ecoooaUet, once walked IS

group of women addressed a let

that all women bathers be icom-
pelled to wear a three-piece suit,
of prescribed dimensions. No ac*
tlop has been taken on the re
quest. -— /

“Yes, daughter, but somebody
