Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 112, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 October 1909 — IT’S “SHAW-FER.’’ [ARTICLE]

IT’S “SHAW-FER.’’

Since the .advent of the auto, the pronunciation of the word “chauffeur” has caused some to hesitate. Just say “Shaw-fer” with the accent on the “shaw.” This is awficial. o What is the matter with the average graduate inasmuch as not one out of a dozen of them could .go out and write up the death of'a cow? A little practice along this line will work wonders with some and some take to it naturally. Sit down and write about different subjects and see if within you there isn’t some latent talent. ♦ ~o A statistican says there are nearly a million widows in a certain class of women. Another warning for women. Never say an unkind word'to him. Keep him away from the woodpile, the well, churn or other things obnoxious to male life. — s —; .0 Young men, don’t “cuss,” 'drink “booze” or smoke cigarettes. These are three very bad habits. Cut them out, and you-will never regret it. o -* * ‘ Guaranteed * ’ in its general application nowadays, amounts in our opinion to about two hurrahs in a back yard.
