The Cairo High School requested Mr. Morrison to invite the District meet here next year. The public no doubt knows that the District meet is the time when the various accredited high schools come together to contest wit^i each other in literary and athletic events. On account of its immensity and the difficulty of entertaining, the superintendents decided to divide the literary and athletic events, holding the athletic events at least one week in advance of the literary. The ath letic events will be held in Cairo. Mr. Morrison was elected vice-president of the district organization. A pupil from every grade in school took part in the P.-T. A. program last Thursday afternoon, displaying and discussing the picture that was bought by his or her room. There is quite a beautiful collection of good pictures in the school now and the program on Thursday was very in teresting and instructive. HERE AND THERE By Dad All wild flowers fade quickly—ex cept the blooming idiors. Some women mean what they don’t say more than what they do say. In this country, the politicians do their running before the election; in Mexico, they run after the elections. * % We can remember when girls in basketball suits were regarded as be ing practically nude. . The income of the average young man is mostly around 12:30. Metaphorically, Hoover is just the good end of a rotten banana. Most girls’ brains go out the win dow when a very attractive young man comes in the door. Most men are rum runners. Some run for it, some run away from it, some run it up, some run it down, and some just shut their eyes and run it.

Farmer—To keep the chickens from eating the grain out of the wood. % Lots of people have the idea that a hardware store is a “men’s only” store. But, listen: We have more items here for the ladies than for the men. We read in a trade magazine the other day that a MESSENGER WANT ADS PAY lady customer was more exacting than a man. But we don’t find it so. We like to wait on the ladies. Most men do not wake up to find themselves famous. Most of them dream they are famous and then wake up.
