A man, is' as old .as he feels out the

Old Dobbs may have been as slow
as a turtlt 11e didn't turn turtle.

A relative ;is a• person who wonders
why you ever married into that kind
of .family. '
Some men are like tea, their real
strength is not seen, till they get in
water.
One reason the price of coal can't
be lowered is because it isn't produc-
ed by farmers.
,As a ,place to spend Sunday, the ver-
andah never goes into a ditch, nor in
front of a trains.
Laughing when father steps on a
tack shows the family has a sense of
humor, but no sense of discretion.
`One o' de sad things 'bout` dies life,"
said Uncle Eben, "i,s dat it's so much
easier to depend upon the. enmity of
yob 'enemies dao on de friendship of
yoh friends,"
The month 'of October, when frosts
are possible and probable, when leaves
fall, and nuts are gathered, and apples
are picked, and roots harvested, and
tleasemoter hikes to the woods on a
rabbit burnt, and a little snow may
appear, and we get out our .heavies,
and the boy forsakes the swimming
pool, and the women don, .silk hose
and put away their furs -a changeable
season, indeed, is October.
Support the school by-law on Mon -
dal' next. We must provide room for
the large attendance, which is rhe one
thing that enables the School Board
to keep the tax rate down for school
purposes. Th.e amount we will zee
calve from the county this year is
58155.50 whereas in 1921 we got
only 53252.94. The difference of al-
most five thousand dollars is due to
the large attendance,; Provide the
room and keep up the attendance, and
sa
keepup tate county grant, and so
keep clown, the village fax for school
purposes.
ANOTHER FRAUD
A n ' raud is being perpetrated
on the citizens of surrounding towns
by a'young woman, who is going from
house to'houee accompanied by a boy.
The woman approaches the door toi•

lengths. When she has gone; the cus-

some sleight of hand method she has
