Sunday school teacher: Can anyone tell me the story of Adam and Eve?
Little girl: First God created Adam. Then He looked at him and said, "I think I could do better if I tried again." So He created Eve.
Barber to a customer with a lot of grease on his hair: Do you want it cut or just an oil change?

Jail Conditions and Jailors.
It seems almost a miracle that disease is not more prevalent and that some of the prisoners do not actually die from the effects of a term in jail and such would be the condition if not for the care of Deputy Sheriff Plummer, who has charge of the jail. The cage is scrubbed thoroughly once and often twice daily with disinfectants used liberally. Two prisoners are in the jail suffering from gunshot wounds; Harry Needles, who was shot in the leg at Springfield while endeavoring to escape from an officer, and Jim McAfee, who was wounded in the leg and shoulder in an attempted holdup at Joplin. McAfee concealed the fact that he was wounded until he was on his way to Carthage and stuffed tobacco into his wounds to prevent bleeding. The tobacco cure seems to be a good thing as he is recovering rapidly. Both men have been furnished cots and are kept in the "bull ring" or corridor which surrounds the cage.
Mornin',
My uncle didn’t like to have more than one food type on his plate at a time. I notice that most who enjoy the various buffets around town don’t have that hang up. ‘Course there does seem ta be a pattern that some adhere to.
There is the natural tendency to always put the bread or roll on top of the heap I’ve noticed. Hardly anybody likes soggy bread, unless it’s under gravy or in puddin’.
I personally have had a couple a bad experiences with bread puddin’ and don’t care to experiment any further with that idea.
Some like ta use the bread for soppin’. It is apparently more polite that lickin’ the plate clean. Ya don’t see much of this in restaurants, mainly at the kitchen table durin’ harvest season.
Some foods just work together I guess. Pork and beans, ham and beans, anything and beans. Why not pork and corn or ham and peas? There is corned beef, but I don’t think that counts.
I think it’s more habit that taste. ‘Course most of us have more bad than good in both categories.
This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.
Over 60 law enforcement personnel were in attendance at the Carthage High School Auditorium yesterday afternoon. The heard from Cultural Analyst Douglas D. Daye, from the Washington, D.C. area, who spoke of cultural aspects of crime.
Daye is in Carthage, as are many of those attending the seminar, for the annual Marian Days activities. This is his fourth year and although not in law enforcement himself, assists officers in their routine patrol of the event.
Daye told the Mornin’ Mail that most Asians are “embarrassed” by the actions of a relatively small percentage of criminals that bring dishonor to their community.
Daye was also very complimentary toward the Carthage Police Department and Chief Ellefsen on the manner in which the event in Carthage was handled. He said he knew of no other such event that drew such a large crowd or that was monitored so professionally.
The ex-professor also noted that locals should come out and enjoy the large variety of food offered by various vendors.
