SOCH A BIZNESS!
Sohickclgruber and Goering were |
talking business one day, and Goer- |
ing said that he thought Schickel- i
gruber was making a great mistake
to run the Jews out of the country, j
“Why.” said Goering, “they are
«ome of the smartest people in the
world.”
“They can’t do anything the Ger
mans can’t do,” said Schick.
Goering said, “Well, you come
with me and I'll show you.”
They walked down the street to
gether and went into a shop, and
Goering asked for a left-handed cof
-1 fee cup.
The German shopkeeper shrugged
his shoulders and said, "There ain’t
no such thing. I ain’t got one and
! I never had one.”
Goering took Hitler down the
street to another German shop,
asked for the left-handed coffee cup,
and got exactly the same result.
Next he took him to a Jewish
shop, and when he asked the store
keeper if he had such a cup, he
I said, “Yes, I have just one left. It
1 is in the basement and I’ll have to
i go and hunt for it. They are scarce
so, of course, it is expensive.”
Goering bought it. and when they
got outside he said to Schick, “Now,
what did I tell you?”
“But,” said Schick, “maybe those
other fellows didn’t have one.”
BROKEN PROMISES
“Your sister has promised to
marry me, Sammy.”
“Aw, you can’t believe anything
she promises. She promised to take
me to the movies an’ she didn’t.”
Ordel in the Court!
Witness—Well, I think—
Lawyer—We don’t care what you
think. What do you know?
Witness—lf you don’t want to
know what I think, I may as well
leave the stand. I can’t talk without
j thinking. I’m not a lawyer.
Permanently Out
Patient—Will the anesthetic make
me sick?
Doctor—No, I don’t think so.
; Patient—How long will it be be
fore I know anything?
Doctor—Well, that’s a lot to ex
pect from an anesthetic.
Fast Worker
Boss—Hey, you there, that other
fellow is carrying two bags of ce
ment while you’re only carrying one.
What’s wrong with you?
Uthere—Nothing. That fellow’s too
lazy to go twice!
Rest in Peace
Jones—My wife and I haven’t had
a cross word in ten weeks.
Stranger—What did you do, bury
the hatchet?
Jones—No, but I buried the old
battle axe!
Ultimatum End
Billy—Mom, please can I go swim
ming?
Mother—All right. But remem
ber if you drown, don’t come run
ning home to me.
NOT CHOOSY
“Casey is me pertickler friend,

“G’wan! If he was pertickler, he
wouldn’t be yer friend.”

worms are planning to eat every

Billy—Well, our cow kicks the

j HARVEST WILD HAY
Hay worth $2O per ton can be
'obtained from wild areas, W. T.
Middlebrooks. Extension Service
i county agent, said this week,
i With the increased demand for
i livestock and livestock products,
: feed will be in great demand
[this winter and farmers should
Imake every effort to harvest wild
; hay areas to help win the war,he
continued.
“Indications are that a good
lacreage has been planted to crops
for hay,” he declared, “a n d
every effort should be made to
make them produce well, and to
harvest and cure the hay into the
best possible product.”
The county agent pointed out'
that in addition to the planted 1
acreage thore are thousands of
acres of Johnson, Bermuda,
Crabb, and Dallis grasses, lespe
deza, or mixtures of these or {
other plants, that will make ex
cellent hay if cut and cured pro- i
perly. This forage will be lost if j
allowed to become over mature
or left until killed by frost. Ifj
not made into hay it can be
grazed. Cutting these areas will |
also improve the looks of the ■
farm and help to control weeds. ■:
“Spreading of weeds to other j
fields in manure can be avoided j
by cutting the plants before
seeds form,” Mr. Middlebrooks]
declared. “In fact, this is the
best time to cut hay.”
EYE EXAMINATION
OF HENS IMPORTANT
Fowl paralysis is costly to the
poultryman and should be con- ]
trolled with vigilence, County
Agent W. T. Middlebrooks warn
ed this week, advising “look
them in the eye when culling.”
j This step in culling plays an
I important part in controlling
fowl paralysis, long a scourge of
laying flocks and the costliest !
poultry disease, he pointed out. 1
One of the telltale signs of the
disease is a gray eye with an ir
regular pupil. That is, the color
ed part of a normal eye is gray,
and the pupil is irregular in out-1
( line when a bird is affected with
this form of disease, instead of
being evenly oval or well-round
ed. In addition, the eye may be
“fishy” or bulging.
The agent advised that any
bird with this condition be re
moved from the flock. Lame
birds that show no foot injuries
should be removed, too, as sus
pected carriers of fowl paralysis.
The diseased birds may lay for a
while, but eventually they lose
weight and go out of production.
If left in the flock, they endang
er the other birds.
“The majority of fowl paraly
sis cases occur in birds from 4 to
12 months old,” County Agent
Middlebrooks decl are d, “al
though older birds frequently
contract the disease. Since the
disease affects many birds just
as they begin to lay and repay
their expense of their raising,
fowl paralysis is costly.”
COUNTIES URGED 10 PLAN ,
FOR SCHOOL LUNCHROOMS’
With about two million dolars
federally provided for school
lunchroom programs in Georgia
as well as many carloads of sur
plus commodities in addition,
Dr. M. D. Collins, state school
superintendent, is urging that all
schools in the state avail them
selves of this opportunity.
He said that about two-thirds
of Georgia’s 159 counties are not
taking advantage of offers of
free food for their lunchrooms.
Carloads of surplus vegetables
purchased by the War Food Ad
ministration to strengthen prices
where they were weak, will be
shipped free of charge to coun
ties that will preserve these
foods for lunch programs. Only
about 50 counties have received
shipments of vegetables, but
more than this are probably par
ticipating as in some instances :
several have joined together in
processing and distributing the
food.
