BREEZY NEWS NOTES. By Liam Klauses There are some men as nonest as the day is long—in winter. The woman who says she hasn’t got a stitch to wear usually hasn’t got a stitch to take off. The “dolls” or the dollars. —It’s a wise hunter that knows the best choice. It’s perfectly proper for a young woman to keep company, but she mustn’t keep him after 10 p. m. In Chicago moonshine whisky was found in nursing bottles. It used to be “a little nip” now it’s a little nipple. In Greece there are 119 goats for every 100 human beings. In this country there are 100 “goats” out of every 119 human beings. In Illinois a woman talked continuously for six days after having influenza. Did she have to have influenza? Special Treasury Committee says the $2.00 bill must go. Our $2.00 bills never needed any pursuasion to go. ‘ The man and wife that idon’t fight don’t live, and if they fight too much they don’t live together. Truth Is stronger than friction. On Life’s san sea waves, absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder —it makes it go flounder. A conversation on marriage is no place for an old maid to put her foot. If "beauty is only skin deep”, it's funny that some of the smartest men in the country spend their time skinning their neighbors so they'll get money enough to get in deep with some “beauty." Volstead’s daughter was fined in Washington for parking her car near a watering trough so that horses couldn’t .drink. Look what her father did to the Moose, the Elks, the Eagles, and the other birds. Northwestern university has elevated golf to the major sports rank. Golf is pretty likely to be mentioned in the course of an enthusiast’s remarks.

When you were a little tot, how eagerly you snatched the pennies that mother gave you. And with flying feet you scampered out for a bag of all-day suckers. Do you remember how with shining eyes she watched your childish joys; how she skimpe.d and saved so you could have your candy? What could be a more fitting remembrance now of her loving care than a big box of good chocolates? She will appreciate it. WALKERTON CANDY KITCHEN
