Hereafter, whenever Jones gets a bad cold he is likely to ' seek a job with the transfer company, for they say that the old standby called "rock and rye" can now be moved from house to house. The baseball magnates' troubles have also been increased again. They used to only have to try out ball players, while now they have to try out judges also. Well, anyway, Landis has the honor of being the first judge to be "signed." If this world had more sanitation and less medication well, much of the money now invested in hospitals and sanitariums could be spent to give many an embryo president of these United States and many a first lady of the land in the making a great big chance at all out of doors. Somewhere I saw the headline, "No Husband Is Perfect," and did not have the time to read what followed, so have been wondering wonder-ing ever since whether it was an essay by an old maid or by a muchly married grass widow. If the corn fields and wheat fields and orchards and hay-fields hay-fields and barn yards were as popular as the auto camps during the summer months, there would be absolutely no danger of starvation in this or any other country. ; .
