SCRAPS of HUMOR

What They Read. “Got through reading your paper, yet?” “Just finished it” “Lend it to me for a moment?** “Can’t Threw it away. It was 96 in the shade at 4 o’clock yesterday, and McGoogin and Schultz Is today’s battery for the home team.” “Thanks. Well, so long. See you later.

Not Denying It.

Long Suffering Wife—l don’t know how I ever came to marry you, anyhow! You’ve always had a hard face on you! Equally Long Suffering Husband— That's true enough. You’ve keptNtny nose to the grindstone for fifteen years, and it’s still a fairly good nose.

“Wombat Is always willing to stay late,” remarked the junior partner. “Has his heart in the office work, sb?”jntt-the senior partner. “Not so much that He has his family in the country for the summer, and he’s thankful for any excuse to stay in town.”

Not Superstitious.

Mrs. Lakeside —Mrs. Weeds was married on Friday, and in less than a year she was a ;widow. Mrs. Wabash—Now she will probably want to lie | married thirteen times, to see how that would affect her luck.—Puck •

Safety In Ignorance.

“Are you sure that the man you helped to elect was not at one time connected with a powerful lobby?” “Positive," replied Farmer Corntossel. “There never w,as anything'that .Qame up that (he knew enough about to lobby for.”

ROMANCE ALL GONE.

He— Is’s quite romantic our meeting here again this summer. She—lt would be, only I’ve married since I saw you last summer.

It injures romance much, indeed, In case a damsel sweet Expects to get a tender screed And gets a pound of meat.

Two Good Reasons.

Tourist (in Kentucky)—< wonder why this shabby little hamlet la called Dell Delight? ■ • Colonel Nosepaint—Because, in the fuhst place, it is in a.dell; and, aeo only, because we have to’ apple-jack distilleries within a stone’s throw .of each othuh, suh!—Puck.

The Necessity.

**There is a man always getting me to make engagements with him, and he certainly gets on my nervee.” , "Then .why do you make engagements With him?" "Because I have to. He’s my dentist.” »'

Restricted Styles.

Jane—Good gracious, do you call that a bathing suit? Mamie —why, yea. Jane —It surely wasn't designed for the water? ■ ' Mamie—No, for the photographer.

Tinned Flowers.

Mrs. Beneonhurst—She has no artis4fo taltea. r. ? Mrs. Flatbush—Why? “Look at all those empty tin cans in her back yard. Not a flower in one of them!”

Too Successful.

“Don’t let that Igdy archer go In our pasture with that red hat on.” “Why notr j “She might hit the bull's eye Wtth

SAVE CORN FROM SMUT

Use of Formaldehyde Retards Smuft and Gives Plant a Good Start Prof. L. R. Waldron of the North IHikota experiment station suggests the advisability of treating seed corn for smut This treatment would bq with formaldehyde the same as for oats. He does not claim that the smut will be killed, but it will be retarded, giving the corn seedling a chance to grow away from the mold before its germinating power has been so weakened that serious damage has been done.

The damage done, by smut and mould on seed corn can be lessened by the use of formaldehyde.

WHAT WOMEN WANT

Home Life in Aural Communities Must Be Improved. That the need oi rural communities is not confined to problems of marketing and production 'alone is amply shown from the following article from the Altoona Pennsylvania Times. In those counties which have been organized on the County Unit plan, the n ext step after, securing a County Agent is certainly that of securing a woman home visitor. . < “In - the effort at improving farm conditions, which the agricultural department is making in many wayr, a new departure is chronicled. Heretofore, aside from the police work of pure food inspection, agricultural quarantines and the like, the effort has been chiefly toward promoting the science of production on the farm, and the promotion of knowledge of shippinigi and selling. -So we are having consideration of better markets, betters shipping facilities, the extension of rural credits qn. Bufc now Secretary Houston calls attention to that long’-talked-of subject the position of women on the farms. One sentence of his statement is this: On many farms where there is always money enough to buy the latest agricultural appliances there is seldom a surplus to provide the woman in her productive work with power machinery that will lighten her physical labor, pr running that will relieve her of the burden of carrying from the primp all water that is used in the household. The insanity of farmers wivbs from loneliness and hard work has been one phase of the crying need for better social conditions in the country. The department sent circulars* to 55,000 farmers’ wives. The response was large and ’ pathetic. The overwork of farm women and the fear of the effect of It on their children was the burden es many replies. Many asked the department to prove to the men that the women’s work is worth something in dollars and cents. Others said that their own lot la hopeless and asked only that better schools, cheaper books, more lectures, libraries and museums be provided for their children. More comfort, more conveniences, more company are crying needs in the life of the farmers’ wives. Bathrooms are worth more than automobiles, running water more-than some other things. ' .

LOWER LIVING COST

Style Craze and European Trips Adi to Cost of Living. Two causes contributing to the high cost of living are frequently overlooked. The first cause isjthe tremendous waste caused by the rapid changing of feminine fashions. The woman who wishes to be stylishly dressed is obliged to spend large sums of money on clothes she really does not need; and In her anxiety to outshine her neighbors she continually purchases new garments and throws away the old long before they are worn out The second cause is the great amount of American money spent in Europe by American tourists and returning European emigrants. The other day ten transatlantic steamers left New York, each carrying more than. < thousand passengers. As the average tourist spends SI,OOO or more in “seeing Europe,” this means that over $1,000,000 left America in a single boat At this rate, more than $3,650,000,000 of American money is spent yearly in Europe; and still we. wonder what is the matter with our finances. There is only one way in which this loss can be made up—that is from the soil; and the only method by which this can be brought about is by putting fanning on a business basis.

Sol Guthwas over frtMii Washington, HL, this- week, looking after his farming interests. He preparing to have a cattle barn and hog house erected on his big farm at Surrey, which is tenanted by Jim W. G. Richardson, son-in-law of Attorney A Halleck, has been here for the past two weeks, laid up with a badly sprained right ankle. He is out each day with crutches 'but it will be some time before he can return to his work in Chicago. E. W. Hickman played in the roll of a hero at the Kankakee river Sunday evening, leaping out of'a boat when another boat containing a man, a woman and a baby capsized. He came up with the woman on hiß shoulders, while the man fvas saving the child. He was none the worse for the experience and was able to attend to his plumbing calls the next day.

CRAFTY HUSBAND.

Ah arcade shopkeeper tells us that a well-dressed man of about forty came into his place the other day aad asked to see some chafing dishes. Ha didn’t care for the first one shown him, nor the second. “Let me see some nicer'ones—more expensive,” he said. So some very flossy ones were shown him, but still he was not satisfied. “I want a chafin dish that is extremely showy,” he explained. “Something that will attract attention on any sideboard. All gold and silver and chasings and things.” “Well, here’s one that is distinctly an ornament,” said the salesman. “The only trouble is that it’s so fine. Yom* wife .don’t want to use it for anything but to look at.” The customer’s * face brightened wonderfully. ‘Til take that one,” he grinned.

Dead Horses.

A man was fixing his automobile. “Trouble?” asked a bystander. “Some,” was the laconic > answer. “What power, car is It?” “Forty horse,” came she-answer. “What seems to be the > matter with it?” \ < “Well, from the way she acts, I should say that thirty-nine s os the horses were dead.’’—Ladies’ Home Journal.

NOT NEGOTIABLE.

The Dyspeptic—Why do you trouble me with your stories of hunger? I envy ypur good appetite. The Hobo—Yes, but dere’s one great trouble about a good appetite. De better it is de more difficulty you And 1b tradin’ it off fur somethin* to eat

Misdirected.

Her smile was very aWeet to see. But. ah, It wasn’t meant for ma. How sad is life, as on we jog! That smile was wasted on a dog,

Ingratitude

*T helped an intoxicated man out off the gutter several weeks ago and put him aboard a ear.” /“Year “The other day ho wrote to the police asking them to find my address.” “Ah, I see. He wants to force $lO,000 on you.” “No; he says he thinks I most have pinched bls watch.”

Woman's Woes.

“Then you're not glad that your husband struck oil?” “Oh, I suppose 1 am for the sake, of the children. But it’s pretty tough on a woman of fifty to have to go in for high heels, fashionable dresses and straight fronts.”

Columbia Theatre Opens With “Ginger Girls” July 18th.

■ Much activity has been displayed in building the production in which Ed Lee Wrothe and the “Ginger Girls” will present themselves at the . Columbia Theatre in Chicago for three weeks, commencing July 18th. This 'Will mark the (farewell tour of Ed Lee Wrothe in burlesque as next season- he will head a big review in London.“Janitor Higgins,” <the portrayal of which added so much to the popularity of Wrothe, comes as a most welcome guest in the ’hew attire The character is the same in which he appeared during-two record summer runs in Chicago. He appears in the first act as janitor of a fashionable apartment house on Riverside Drive in New -York City. Through the persuading of one of the tenants after a big reception he is induced to act as husband to a very prominent woman whose husband is at sea. She is about to receive a very large inheritance, but there is one stipulation in the will, her husband must be present at the signing of the papers, and the janitor is finally induced to act in the capacity of the: hsuband, with a promise„oLa reimbursement for his services.; Everything moves along in tip top fashion, tJxe lawyer comes and the papers are signed. During ths conversation the janitor realizes that he has (been the keynote to the situation, and after the departure of thb lawyer, demands an equal division of the money, threatening to expose the whole scheme. They finally accede to his demands and with his share o£ the Spoils he prepares to visit Alaska, a .country which he has always been anxious to see, and invites the whole party to accompany him. His invitation is accepted and everybody hurries to get ready for the trip to the frozen north. The locale of the sefibnd act is laid in WaWson City,* furnishing the back ground for the grotesque hilarity with which Wrothe is met. The entire party meets again after Higgins paid for their transportation to the frozen north. His experiences in the strange land cause constant outbursts of laughter. The fun moves on fast until the very finale of the show, which finds Higgins back in his original position of a janitor. . Wrothe has be c n very lucky in the selection of his support, especially in Miss Jane Leßeau. he finds an artist of exceptional merit. Her introduction of ‘My Seminole Maid’ stamps her as a character actress not easily duplicated. Owen’ Martin, Frank Williamson, Augusta Lang, A 3 and Fritzl Leyton, Leonard and Alvin and several others are likewise in the foreground of the mirth dispensers. The chorus, consisting of sprightly young women with good voices, is an attractive feature of.the offering. Joe Hurtig, under whose direction the “Gmger Girls” are blit for new honors, has equipped the production with a wealth of beautiful wardrobe and elaborate scenery. ‘. «s; Order a rubber stamp today front The Republican.
