Found Warming Pan Usaful Senator Hiram Johnson said at a dinner in New York: “Through misgovernment civili zation nearly came a cropper in the world war Civilization will come a cropper yet—unless we all work to gether for government of the scien tific, rational kind. “It is sheer luck that the world gets on, misgoverned as it is. Yes. it is sheer luck of the Jonathan Dewsbury kind. “Jonathan Dewsbury, a New Eng land merchant, astonished his friends by sending a shipload of brass wanning pans to Cuba, of all plates. But Jonathan's friends were still more astonished when they heard that the warming pans had sold like hot cakes to the Cuban sugar plant ers at a stiff price. The planters, you see, found them most convenient for skimming the rats off their mo lasses vats, where those sweet toothed creatures had a nasty habit of getting stuck while feeding.” “ It takes a live fish to go up stream; any dead one ' can go down.” Effective April 1, trains will run as follows: No. 2 arrives from Hoskins 9:15 A.
