"We'd like to have you stay to
dinner with us if you are content
to take 'pot -luck,' " said the wife,

Road Needed
At a meeting of a rural- district
council a deputation farmers
asked to be received. They wished
to complain about the state of the
main road just outside the village.
They found, however, that their
arguments did not receive • very
good reception. In fact, the mem-
bers of the council objected with
emphasis and much noise.
"Look here," said the chairman,
"the road is fairly good as a
whole."
"Yes," replied the spokesman of
the party, "but we want to use it
as a road."
