A wife is a blessing in disguise. If wishes were schooners, beggars could ride in patrol wagons. There are a good many foreign noblemen who can’t prove it. When some men get kicked they apologize for being in the way. Women’s hats are smaller, but the price has been made a little larger. ’ The less sense an animal or anybody else has the more serious it looks. Any durn tool ought to know whether it is hot or cold without going to look at a thermometer. What you don’t know won’t hurt you. Pain is caused from what the doctors don’t know. What has become of the old lady that used to wear square spectacles and knit wristlets for the kids. Every man’s idea of a decent income is twice as much as he is getting. The weather bureau is bound to hit it right sometime if it keeps on guessing. Man, being of a quarrelsome, nature and having learned that it takes two to quarrel, marries. Ham iand eggs used io be a mere partnership. Now it is a soulless corporation of predatory wealth. Horse sense is merely having the good judgment to pull for someone else after you have been hitched up. There isn’t any punishment which will fit the crime of getting up a family picnic. Since I got married I learned never to judge a man’s pocketbook by his wife’s hat. With some folks an ounce of trouble will outweigh a pound of happiness. A perfect gentleman will always tell the lady the truth and believe everything she says in return. The only way an honest man can get along in this world is to marry a rich widow. One of the inspiring sighs of this life is that of a venerable man with long, flowing whiskers riding on a motorcycle. -■ 10 days’ free trial on Hot Point irons or other Hot Point heating devices.

Lew G. Ellingham, secretary of state, announced Tuesday that the colors of automobile license numbers for 1914 in Indiana are to be blue and white. The background of the number plates is to be blue, with white embossed letterings. The first consignment of tags is expected next month. The tags this year were black with yellow letterings. Steel plates have been ordered for 1914 and the easily cracked enamel that formed the outside of the plates this year will be abolished j-n the new tags. , Between three and four thousand bushels of fine apples have been raised upon the Knickerbocker farm at Clymers this year on eight acres of ground devoted to orchard purposes. The trees have been sprayed find the fruit cultivated according to approved modern methods, and the result is something to be proud of. Almost the entire crop has been sold on the trees to dealers in Wlsconisn, and they are now picking the apples and preparing to ship them, out of the state. The apples are selling on the trees at the average of about sixty-five cents per bushel, so that 4,000 bushels would bring the growers returns of $2,600 off of eighl acres of ground, an average of $325 per acre.
