THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. NANCY By Ernie Bushmiller MUTT AND JEFF By Bud Fisher REGULAR FELLERS By Gene Byrnes VIRGIL By Len Kleis Grooving ’Em When crusty old John McGraw managed the New York Giants, he invariably instructed pitchers. One day the winning run was on second and the Giants had a rookie on the mound. McGraw called time, told the rookie to waste a pitch before going to work on the batter. The pitcher promptly grooved one, which was laced for a triple. Mc Graw went for his pitcher and asked, with blue-bordered decora tions, “Didn’t I tell you to waste one?” “But I did,” protested the baffled rookie, “my pitch was right at his waist!” LOOK, NO HANDS! Wise guy—When it comes to eat ing, you’ve got to hand it to Venus de Milo. Come on—Why? Wise guy—How else could she eat? Lullaby Among the students of his class in elocution an instructor had one very ambitious young man whose vanity exceeded his ability as an orator. The professor was pretty discouraged one day as he took time out to give the youth a private les son. “When you finish your address,” he told the misguided pupil, “bow very gratefully, and leave the plat form on tiptoes.” “On tiptoes?” echoed the student. “Why?” “So you won’t wake up the audi ence,” was the instrrictor’s reply. Good Question A rich, pompous man was can tering along a dusty trail one after noon when he spied a trim farm house at the edge of the forest and decided to stop for water. He asked a little boy standing near the house to hold his horse. “Does he bite?” queried the child. “No,” was the reply. “Or kick?” “No.” “Does he try to run away?” “No.” The child shrugged his shoulders. “Then why do you want me to hold him?” Over the Line There was a Swede who lived practically on the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. For years he wasn’t certain which state he lived in. Finally he got a state surveyor to make a special investi gation of the problem. “You live,” decided the surveyor, “in Wisconsin.” The Swede threw his hat into the air with great glee. “Thank heaven,” he cried. “No more of those terrible Minnesota winters.” PERPLEXED BURGLAR A young man was on trial, charged with breaking into the same millinery shop four times. The judge asked the defendant the reas on for the repeat performances. He answered: “Each time I stole a different hat for my wife. She can’t make up her mind.” Nifty Answer An autoist was motoring through the mountains of Colorado when he came upon a small village tucked away in a valley. He stopped when he met a native and asked, “I say, have any big men been born in this town?” “No,” answered the local man. “Just little babies.” Sure Are Mrs. Brown—My husband is join ing the Masons. Mrs. Green—Well, I don’t know them well, but I will say their jars are nice. Grumpy Gob Sailor (sitting in barber chair)— “Cut all three short.” Barber—“Which three?” Sailor—“Whiskers, hair and chat ter.” Dull Reading Wife—I can read you like a book, John. Husband—Why don’t you then? In a book, you skip what you don’t like, but in me you linger over it. SEWING CIRCLE PAHERNS yoke Drock foe WotLr ^Jwo5ome j^or 'or ^Jprincf 8882 2-10 yr«.

New Cuts Give Diamonds More Fire and Brilliance For nearly 300 years, European and American gem craftsmen have cut 98 per cent of their dia monds in the “brilliant” form, convinced that its 58-facet design reflected a greater amount of light than any larger or smaller number of surfaces, says Collier’s. Recently, however, three New York firms created and patented new designs of their own—the King Cut with 86 facets, the Multi- Facet Cut with 98 and the Magna- Facet Cut with 102—all three of which give a diamond much more fire and brilliance.
