HODGES Thursday,Sept. 27. »MS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO branches in all the principal cities The Gorgas Plant of the Muscle Shoals property has been sold by mi government to the Alabama Power Oo M as per a pre-war con tract. Heury Ford will now have to revise his bid for Muscle Shoals if indeed ho wants the property without the Gorgas Plant. President Oooledge, after fifty days in the White House service finds that his callers talk muoh and not always accurately. He has therefore announced very firmly and flatly that he will be his own spokesman from now on, and that nothing counts as far as the Cool- idge code of principals is concern ed without the signature or offi cial authorization oft Calvin Cool- idge. —«—■—o .

A temporary runway has been built for use in transferring the game animals across the Niobrara River from the smaller enclosures which have been used up to this time. A COUNTRY BOY , A writer on a big oity paper re cently said; “Tho real life fora boy is not in a city.” We’ll say it is not. He should know of animals, riv- <ors, plants and that great out of door life that lays for him the foundation of his later years. What memories come to us who wore so fortunate as to be brought up in tho country! Many big suc cessful men have never ceased to thank God that they privileged to spend their boyhood life among the hills, streams and fields. The pictures that tho country boy studied aro far more real to him in later years than the canvases of the groat masters, which ho has since enjoyed at the great mu seums. , The scont of tho new mown hay is all very well in poetry, and it is a delight to tho city vacationist, but tell us, dear reader—you who were brought up on the farm and who followed the rake with your bare feet, jumping every now and then as the now cut stalks piorced your soles—what wouldn’t you exchange for those halcyon days? —Jones County News.

" WUXTREEl WUXTREEl WUXTREEl” The girls are starting to wear artificial eye lashes! They glue them on their eye lids! When the girls cry, instead of shedding tears they will shed eye lashes! If a girl tries to flirt she is liable to wink her lashes off! It will now be very dangerous for a man to kiss his sweetie! He, will get a mouthful of eyelashesl Blue laws are being made. Every girl who can’t flirt will be given two lashes upon the first offense and then if she doesn’t make the mere men fall sh*e will be doomed to be an old maid! One wink before the glue dries and tho flirtation is ail gummed up! Things that come easy never amount to much. “Millions Now Living Will Never Die”- Wouldn’t “Millions Now Dead Will Never Live” be nearer the truth asks Bill? “He who "puts it off’’ Seldom “Puts it over.” There always is a brighter side.
