Bandit Is lust a ‘Crumb’;
Waitress Proves Her Point
DETROIT. — Mrs. Imogene Cor-
retta, 38, waitress in a local restau
rant, brushed off a would-be bandit
as she might have flicked a breaa
crumb off the counter, holdup squad
officers said.
A man strode into the restaurant,
right hand threateningly in his over
coat pocket in the approved man
ner. He announced boldly, “This is
a stickup.”
Mrs. Corretta pretended not to
hear him.
“Open the cash register,” the des
perado blustered.
Mrs. Corretta ignored him.
The "bandit" reached across the
counter and started to open the till
himself.
Mrs. Corretta calmly rapped him
across the back of his hand with the
dull edge of a large butcher knife
and the toughie yelped and fled.

Untapped Knowledge
T HE old farmer was dozing In the
shade of his front porch, when a
high-pressure salesman bustled up
the front walk and awakened him
with a cheery “Good afternoon.”
He had a sample book of a 10-
volume set on scientific agriculture
he was selling.
The old farmer was at length per
suaded to page through the speci
men volume.
“Nope,” he objected; “ain’t got
no use for it.”
“But you ought to have it,” the
salesman insisted. “It will teach
you to farm twice as good as you do
now.”
“Hell, son,” barked the ancient
agriculturist, “I don’t farm half a,
good now as I know how.”
SHORT TRIP
A missionary, newly arrived at
the Cannibal islands, asked
where his predecessor was.
“Your predecessor,” replied
the cannibal chief, “has taken a
trip to the interior.”
Well Taught
A little girl about six years old
went into a bank and asked to see
the president. A smiling clerk
showed her into his private office.
She explained solemnly • that her
girl’s club was raising money, and
would he please contribute?
The banker laid a dollar bill and
a dime on the desk and said, “You
take whichever one you want.”
She picked up the dime and said,
“My mother always taught me to
take the smallest piece,” but pick
ing up the dollar bill also, she add
ed, “bul, so I won’t lose this dime.
I’ll take this piece of paper to wrap
it up in.”
Excess Baggage
Weary of working as a cook in
northwestern lumber camps, Ole
Svenson retired to a small farm, but
after batching a while he went to
the city and got himself a wife. Life
on the farm was too lonely, how
ever, and the woman soon ran
away.
“Well, Ole,” said a friend, “are
you sorry she went?”
“No,” replied Ole.
“No? Why not?”
"Veil,” retorted Ole, “she vas al-
vays getting in de vay vhen I vas
cooking.”
TOE-PRINTS
During the night, two burglars en
tered the bank. One approached the
safe, sat down on the floor, took off
his shoes and socks and started to
turn the dial of the safe with his
toes.
“What’s the matter?” said his
pal. ‘‘Let’s open this thing and get
out of here.”
“Naw, it’ll only take a minute
longer and we’ll drive them finger
print experts nuts.”
Simple Arithmetic
A Sunday school teacher had been
telling a class of little boys about
crowns of glory and heavenly re
wards for good people.
"Now tell me,” she said at the
close of the lesson, “who will get the
biggest crown?”
There was a silence for a while,
then Johnnie replied, "Him wot’s
got the biggest head."
Definite Proof
Mr. and Mrs. Newbride were
nearing the tearful stage of their
first tiff.
“You talk of possessing judg
ment,” sniffed Mrs. Newbride. "My
judgment is superior to yours!”
"Oh, unquestionably,” retorted
Mr. Newbride. “Our choice of life
partners proves that.”

WANTED TO GET EVEN
When the little mink died and
Went to heaven St. Peter told him,
“We haven’t had any minks up here
before, so we don’t know exactly
what to do for you. However, you
were a good little mink on earth
and we want you to be happy, so
we will give you anything you like.
“Please, St. Peter,” pleaded the
little mink, “—could I have a coat
made out of chorus girls?”
H. Y. Court Decision Holds
Test-Tube Baby Legitimate
NEW YORK. — A supreme court
justice ruled that a child bom as
the result of artificial insemination
is legitimate.
The ruling was made by Justice
Henry Clay Greenberg in deciding
that the estranged husband of Mrs.
Julie Strnad, 31, had a right to
visit her daughter, four-year-old An
toinette, who she said was a prod
uct of artificial insemination.
Mrs. Strnad claimed that her hus
band, Antoine, 42, was sterile since
birth, an allegation he denied. She
sought to prevent him from peeing
the child on the ground Antoinette
was not the offspring of her ex
mate. She had won a separation
decree and principal custody of the
child last October.

Farm Mechanization Boosts v
Production to Record Levof
OMAHA, NEB. — Americans ar«
harvesting 20 million more acre; to-
day than they did in 1940, although
there are three million fewer peopl*|
doing it, and on 200,000 fewer farms.]
Fast-growing mechaniaation of
farms is largely responsible for thi»i
feat, Joseph A. Hoban, merchandise
manager of B. F. Goodrich com-j
pany, told members of Midwest Im
plement Dealers association. E»
cited the fact that the nation’s trac- 1
tor “population” had doubled, from
one million to two million, just since
1940. *
Praising “the way America’*'
farmers and other food producers
had come through to ease tragid
conditions in many lands,” Hobani
cited the following estimates on the
nation’s 1947 exports of foodstuffs:!
392 million bushels of wheat, five
times the amount exported in 1939 ;j
88 million bushels of com, com
pared to 32 million in 1939, and 328
million pounds of meat products,
against 193 million in 1939.
The farm market offered "the
biggest sales opportunity” for in
dustry in 1947, Hobah said, adding
that “there is no question that this
market is going forward at as great
or even greater pace in 1948.”
Hoban said that all tractors now
made are rubber-tired, and that
changing all a farm’s rolling stock
from steel to rubber tires produced
an average saving of 24 working
days and 675 gallons of gasoline per
year, for each 150 acres worked.
