Albert: Would you like to have
lunch?
Edna: Certainly. Where should we eat?
Albert: Let’s eat up the street.
Edna: No, thank you. I don’t like the taste
of asphalt.

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Chunk of Wood In
Throat.
Horse Belonging to
Cliff Hubbard of Pepsin Nearly choked to Death.
Dr. Houser, the
veterinary, was called to the farm of Cliff Hubbard near
Pepsin last night to see what he could do for a valuable
draft horse which was said to be choking to death because
of a corn cob stuck in his throat. When Dr. Houser
reached the hubbard farm the big horse was almost gone
and strenuous methods were necessary.
Probing down the throat
the doctor found the obstruction and made an incision
into the throat from the side of the neck. The supposed
cob was found to be an oaken knot as large as three
walnuts. How the horse came to swallow such a thing as
that is a mystery. Relief to the animal came almost
instantly and he will recover.
J.W. Ground today bought
lots 37, 38,39, 52, 43, and 48 in Sunny Side addition,
from Adolph Baer, paying $600.

Talkin'
Mornin
I never mastered the art of spinnin’ a four
way lug wrench. Maybe just not enough practice. Onea the problems with changin’ a
flat on the newer cars is they don’t have a
decent hubcap ta throw the lug nuts in.
You’ve prob’ly seen the guy bent down
by the car, with onea those little flimsy L
shaped tire tools in one hand and a lug nut in
the other, lookin’ completely bewildered.
He’s lookin’ for a spot to put the nut
so he won’t lose it.
Bein’ on a paved shoulder
doesn’t help much either Those little lug
nuts will start rollin’ until they find the
exact center of the car.
The real embarrassment comes
when ya gotta limp your car into town with that
little weenie tire they call a spare.
This is some fact, but mostly,

Here's
A Tip
by JoAnn Derson•
To avoid unsightly flour marks on the outside of
a cake, just dust the pan with a bit of your cake
mix.
• "Keep on top of
correspondence and bills by creating an
‘action’ file. I used a three-ring
binder and 32 plastic page protectors. I labeled
the page protectors 1 to 31, with the final one
labeled ‘Next Month.’ Whenever I get a
bill or a school note that has to be acted on, I
slip it into the appropriate day’s folder.
Every few days, I preview the folders that are
about 10 days ahead. That way, I can pay bills on
time, make sure I have what I need for school
meetings and send permission slips back in with
time to spare. It’s kept me very
organized." — A.M. in Oregon
• "I keep containers
of wet wipes in both our cars and in the kitchen.
It’s amazing how often I need to use them.
With three kids and two dogs, somebody is always
needing a quick cleanup, and they are always
handy." — M.C. in North Carolina
• "To keep hands
soft, mix a tablespoon of sugar into 3
tablespoons of olive oil. Give hands a two-minute
massage with the mixture once a week. Rinse well
with plain warm water (not hot) to remove the
sugar, and wipe off excess oil." — V.O.
in California
• "To discourage
barking in a dog, try this inexpensive trick. Use
a tin can with a lid, and put a few pennies
inside. When the dog barks, shake the can. It
will get his attention, since he probably
won’t like the noise. You have to keep it up
for about a month, but it worked on my dog, and
he was a real barker!" — E.C. in New
Mexico
