A (Ploot-Hole Peddler. A man came to sec me today selling post-holes. He was an expolitician. He had served in the legislature 8 terms and served a 30-day term in another pjace, but he didn't say where. He made a good legislator, so he said. He voted for a higher copper-ation tax on copper-ations so’s the rich man would pay the taxes. His post-holes were conceded (by him) to be the best post-holes ever sold. And he explained his position with regard to the tariff wall, claim ing that the big chain banks had put such a high tariff on money that it was impossible to get any of it back into this country and that is why the farmer is in such a plight. He had post-holes suitable for fences of all kinds, such as pastures and hog lots. He was elected to the legisl to remark not long ago: “Eggs, an thc Anti-League of Nations eggscellent article of diet, have reached such an eggsorbitant price that anyone using them may be ac cused of eggstravagance. This egg- spression is eggsactly correct and in ;no sense an eggsaggeration.” A Good Primary Law. Among the laws passed by the late lamented general assembly was one providing that in case of a second pri mary election the candidate receiving the highest number of votes, regard less of whether or not he receives a majority of the ballots cast, shall be declared the nominee of the party. Thi* is an excellent law and will save considerable trouble and and said he headed the ticket, the only anti-leager in the whole State of Georgia to head a ticket. He seemed right glad that the U. . S. stayed out of the league. His grave yard post-holes were square and about 16 inches deep. He guaranteed that a fence built with his post-holes would keep all of the dead folks in- aide and those outside would naturally give no trouble to the fence. They raised the salaries of the leg islators while he was serving his second term for being an anti-leaguer. His post-holes for iron post* were of the Russian Bolshevik design. They were narrow at the top and wide at expense 1 the bottom and had little spiral pro in a number of counties.

Rabbit fever was discovered prior to parrot fever. The first symptoms of rabbit fever is a red nose, a black tofigue, pink ears and a restless spirit. If a person runs when a dog barkg or jumps out of bed when 'a gun shoots, she’s got rabbit fever, but if she squalls and squeels when a dog comes around and wiggles her hesd backward and forward and squints her eye 8 when a gun shoots, then she has parrot fever even tho hat symptoms prove that she .. has rabbit fever.

Away back in 1512 he set out on a search which ha* occupied the attention of doctors, scientists and pretty women for more than four hundred years. He wore out his life pud £rew old and embittered trying to find the secret of eternal youth. Lejfetjd had it that in the interior of Florida was the magic Fountain of Youth, a drink from which would banifh fears of old age, and make the drinker forever young and vigorous. The venerable Spanish don covered •very sqdare inch of ground in the prescribed territory, but got nothing hut sickness and disappointment for Ids pains. Instead of taking a hint from Ponce de Leon’s failure, later generations have gone blithely* along growing old in their frantic and feverish search for youth. * It is natural and commendable that pqople should wish to ?tay young as long as possible. But imagine how unspty and tedious life would become if it were made up of nothing but the uaatinued joy and erfdtoraent ‘ of youth. ^ To live a balanced life and to gain tram it all that we poseibly can, we experience maturity as well aa Health Hints. If you should come home to lunch some day and find your wife sitting on the back of a chair talking a blue streak and saying nothing, she has parrot fever, unless you happen to be rich, and then it’s Psittacosis. A further proof that it is pariot fever she’s got is yours for the listening if she chirps: “Polly wants a cracker.” Parrot fever is both contagious and infectious and is also ketching, so it is best not to sleep with a parrot at all, hut if you are one of those types who thinks s o much of her parrot that she must sleep with him regradless, it’s d good idea to bathe tho said par rot in a pail of “tick-dip,” the cow remedy. However, if your parrot catches cold easily, it might be okey for you to take the bath in question rather than administer it to the bird.
