The dinner was two weeks off and during that time Martha got some of the red tick in her cheeks snd she moved sround more lively then she had in years.

Then Mister Clawson got up and his voice sounded far off. He said some of the boys wanted to play poker and others wanted to sit around and chat. It was too late for more speeches. After hearing Simmons any more talk would be tame. It was a wonderful evening and everybody had enjoyed it thoroughly. They all stood up and sang Auld Lang Syne. The dinner was over. You cant blame me for sot being able to think clearly after that. I was so disappointed I got kind of numb. I sneaked out through the back door and went home. Martha ran down to the front gate and grabbed me around the neck. She cried, How did it go? I said, They didnt call on me. I shouldnt have told her the truth.

Before applying rubber base paints to a cement floor, any old paint should be removed with paint remover, all residue from the paint remover washed off with turpentine or mineral spirits, and the floor thoroughly dried out. A further precaution before painting cement cellar floors, either new or old, is to etch them with muriatic acid solution in the proportion of about one pint of acid to one gallon of water. If the acid solution is used the floor should be well rinsed to remove traces of the acid and then thoroughly dried before painting. Two coats of the rubber base paint then can be applied, being careful that the first coat is dry before the second coat is applied v -- V .1 ; dfruA. i,., isiis uf Thats how thousands of smokers learned from actual smoking experience thst cool, flavorful Camels suit them best!
