TODAY’S CHUCKLE I ♦ (U.R) « Cathlamet, Wash. — Census takers covering Puget Island found that fishing in the sound waters near by is very largely a Tover family affair. Henry, Axel, Alfred., Andrew, Ottar, Trygle, John, Nels, and Pete, all Tovers, all brothers and all fishermen, answered the cen- I sus taker's questions. ♦ ♦ Upless the drivers of automobiles turn the corners square they ate not giving the other fellow a fair chance. If every one will observe thd rules of driving it will be much better. Make turns carefully and keep your eyes wide open for tile other fellow may be half asleep or thinking of something else. Raids on supplies of malt and hops used in making home brew has caused a boom in these sales in Washington, Chicago and other cities for there is a growing fear that under the recent decision Os the United States Supreme Court in the Danovitz case, the supply will soon run short and these goods will have to be bootlegged. Ils interesting to watch the various steps in the prohibition fight. Commencement time is at hand and in schools and colleges the various events which lead up to that important occasion are being held. Another army of yonng men and women will step out in the world to do their bit. They will find it a rather rough road but if they have the right kind of a backbone they can make their diplomas worth something and their lives successful. Samuel insnl and his associates are planning to build a city near Hammond that will soon develop into another Gary. They have purchased 320 acres for SIOO,OOO near the site of the National Steel company and will start work soon, expecting the population to reach 30.000 by the time the 1940 census is tslfijr«iKl usually those men do the things they start out to do. H. L. Center, former Decatur man and father of France Confer of this city, was nominated by the democrats of Lake county as the candidate for county treasurer and we are told by some rather wise politicians from up that "way that his chances for election next November are excellent. His friends here know he is qualified and are hoping for his election. He served six years as assistant secretary of state and his record is one of the best ever written there. Go to it Herman, we are sure for yon strong After all. politics is getting to be almost a local issue. Fellow over in Jay county made the race on the republican ticket, praising the primary system of nominating candidates and promised to do everything he could to strengthen the law, if he was elected. It was-his party that darn near ruined ‘he law just last session of the lawmakers. And there are many who believe they did the state a service at that. If this fellow goes down to Indianapolis, all set to do things for the primary law-, and they pull the party lash on him —well, it will be just too bad. Both parties promised to modify the law in their 1926 platforms, but ft was not done until 1929.—Bluffton Banner. o b— „ * I Household Scrapbook By | ROBERTA LEE ♦ « Cut Flowers Few people know that cut flow ors can bo revived to a great extent by plunging the stems into boiling water.
