LOOPS LIKE IT
As the crowded bus came to a
standstill a stout, middle-aged man
descended the stairs carrying a
■mail girl.
Tenderly placing his bc.rien on
the curb, he ascended the sta.rs
again and soon ner_:~fi with a tiny
, dog. Placing the dcs be< de the
j child, he returned ursta ns and de
i scended with a second ch£d which
he stood beside the hrst. (Vof more
{ he ascended the stairs and again
returned, carrying a tr ri yccnf
■ter.
These ere;utjcr.s irers eagerly cb
served by a passenger seated in
side the bus. wnc.. as tee father

NOT FUSSY
i
Agent—Round ticket?
Traveler Ain't carin’ nothin’
about the shape of the ticket, jist |
want one that'll carry me to Slab
town an’ back.
Auld Lang Syne
The American, newly arrived in
London, sat down at his hotel table
and briskly began to give his order.
"I’d like a thick porterhouse steak
smothered in mushrooms, some but
tered toast— ’’
"Excuse me, sir,” interrupted the
waiter gently, "are you trying to
give an order, or just reminiscing
about old times?”
Time to Move
Said Mr. Duck to Mr. Quack
“I’m getting stout,
It’s really quite an effort for me
To waddle about.”
"As turkey’s high at Christmas, it
Will be my luck
To grace b table, I’m afraid,
I guess I’ll duck.”
Sum Total
Lieutenant (to prospective mess
sergeant) All right, .sergeant, !
you’re supposed to be good at fig
ures. Suppose there were this many
flies on the table—one-half times
eight, square the total, add ten and
divide by four—and I killed one, how
many would be left?
Sergeant—One, sir—the dead one.
Cold Wave
Wifey—How nice it would be if all
things in this world would work in
harmony.
Hubby—Wouldn’t it though? For
instance, if coal would go up and
down with the thermometer.
Right?
Her Dad—How do you expect to
support my daughter on your
salary?
Nervy Youth—Hadn’t thought of
that. I’m one of those people who
believes a woman should be thor
oughly independent.
Hard Up
"Here comes the parade! Where’s
Aunty?”
"She’s upstairs waving her hair.”
"Goodness! Can’t we afford ■
flag?”
Not Amused
"I had to shoot my dog.”
"Was he mad?"
"Well, you’d hardly expect him to
be pleased about it."
DOCTOR’S ORDERS
■ ill v , j
Doctor—l must forbid you to drink
champagne.
Patient—Forbid me to drink
champagne?
Doctor—Well, until after my bill
is paid.
His Idea
"What do you think is the trouble
with farming?”
"Well,” replied the old farmer,
"in my day when we talked about
what we could raise on 60 acres,
1 we meant corn—not loans.”
Unsociable
"They say Jones is unsociable, but
I never heard of his quarreling with
anyone."
"Oh well, it takes two to make a
quarrel, you know; and that’s one
too many for Jones.”

“Georgia farmers will do the
j job, Mr. Breedlove said. “ Fac-,
tories are being told what to pro- ■
iduce, and in what quantities,and 1
! they are doing the job willingly, j
Our boys are inducted into the
1 armed forces and told where to
i serve, and they, too, are doing
it gladly. It little behooves us
farmers, then, to talk of regi
mentation. We have merely been
asked to do a job—and I am con
vinced we will do it to keep this
land of ours free.”
A Farm Mobilization Day will
be set in January, on which
every farmer will be asked to
sign up for his share in the
record-shattering 1943 Food for
Freedom production job.
