THE HOME PAPER
Sv4 Y! (By CHARLES J. ARNOLD)
I sure cracked a shell. You know about the ceiling I have been crabbing about for the past week. The _ one that fell off my kitchen. I mean. J Well. I threw out a few lines, well baited, in hopes that some one of the three quarry operators here would | work on his imaginaiton to such anj| extent that I would get a free ride, j The quarry men ignored me for a few days, but I finally pulled one of
them out of his shell.
And here it is. Some portions are deleted, but you can catch the drift,
all right:
“Dear Charley:— •I seen your dirty crack about your kitchen ceiling and I just want to tell you that unless you lay off that stuff you will get something plastered free only like in all, it'll be your dome instead of your ceiling. “I ain’t never noticed that Joe Jimmy is paralyzed and the only way to keep kids irom thumpin’ and jumpin’ around on the second floor is to build a one story

TOURIST HAS THREE FIRES IN SUCCESSION
GREENSBURG, Ind., Jan. 5. —(INS)—A motorinjr tourist had a harrowing experience with fire on a road near here, when he was obliged to fight three fires in rapid succession. First his automobile caught fire and the tourist smothered the blaze with a blanket. This caused the blanket to ignite and to extinguish it the tourist threw it down beside the road to trample out the flame. Some dry grass by the road caught fire and a grass fire resulted which required the combined efforts of six men to extinguish. Little damage was done.

They's a lot of the plaster offen our back entry way. It may be true the rain done it.

"On that there 75 smackers “A. G.’’ is goin' to make us carry all the time. I got mine doped this way. I put 75 in on the 3rd —the bank kindly lockin’ up on the first two days—in the meantime I have wrote to a friend of mine in San Francisco askin’ him to let me have 75 until the tenth, but get it to me by the 3rd; he done it and I deposited that making my balance $150 on the 3rd. The same day I sends my friend a check for 75 knowing it’ll take 5 days to get to him and at least five days to clear so I got my balance more than took care of up to the tenth. Next I goes to Indianapolis on a Friday and while there I cashes a check for 150, returns Greencastle and deposits it knowing it won’t clear until Tuesday by which time I got built up 4 more days of heavy credit, that is 300 casers. As I ain’t never had but 75 in I can’t see where but my average will get me by. Am I right or ain’t I ? They is one way to rampse a bank tho, Charley, and that is on the Safety deposit box. How? easy! You take all your stocks and bonds in. say $20,000 and get a demand note on ’em for four bits. The bank will argue you about the collateral and the ink but they’ll finally make the loan. The interest on 4 bits for one year is 3Va cents and the bank takes care of the collateral, where a box to hold same would annoy you 3 and one half American beauties. Try that on your

HARD RHODES I certainly learned something about myself last evening, when I got home from the office.. Mrs. A. had just finished reading my “Say” column, in which I had referred to her sudden attachment to by bird dog “Queen,” which she had scorned for the past three years. I had told how. when I arrived home, I found Queen in the living room, munching chocolate creams, fed it by my wife. Now Mrs. A. has no kick coming but if Queen realized that she, a very wonderful bird dog. was being placed in the same class as a worthless lap dog. she probably would have something to say about it. A fellow came into my office today threw a bill down on my desk and asked me “If I WANTED to pay it.” Boost hard surfaced roads. They start easily in cold weather, if they are warm-

Screaming hysterically Mrs. Shonle rushed into the street, her screams attracted the attention of Harold E. Patterson and Leo Harlan, truck drivers for the Block Department Store who were passing the house. They called the police and
physicians.
A pulmotor was used for an hour on the victims without success. Shonle is a chemist with Eli Lilly & Company here. Both he and Mrs. Shonle are said to be graduates of Indiana University of Bloomington. . Funeral arrangements for the three victims of the tragedy were being arranged today.
