HOMEY PHILOSOPHY
FOR 1921
What a wonderful fellow thai man
Is who "never innkcH a mistake."
You know him. We all have at least
one on our acquaintance list. lie
oannol conceive thai 11 ti human to
err, and therefore he permit! no one,
from the wife down, to doubt any
thing he HavN or does, A characteris
tic of this mighty man is thai he
insist on personally doing every
thing that is to lie (lone ill his vicini
ty because there's uobodj who can
do it right, or anyhow as well as he.
We jnnl simply hold our breath in
tear of what will happen to the com
munity whin he dies. Of coins;
everything will go to smash, Of
course!

We would prohibit by law the

him a number as soon as he is ar

his picture to appear outside of tht

We would have the trial occur in a

And we would quit the use of
"romatic" words. pucU as bandit,

I recall a storm of Nov. 21, 1886
that lists this as a mild dew. The
snow stood level with the eaves.
Tunnels were bored instead of paths.
Juniper canon was a stream about
the size of the Umatilla river as
spring time. Herds of antelope
starved. Imigrants moving west over
the imigrant trail endured much suf
fering, losing both cattle and horses.

for the same.

Did you read where Congress fin
ally passed the tax bill? It will re
luce the taxes as follows:
Perfumes, six millions; art works,
one million; lollypops and all-day
uckers, eight million; thermos bot
tles, two hundred thousand; excess
profits lax, two hundred and sixty
million; furs, nine million; electric
tans, three hundred thousand; per
fumed soaps, two million; chewing
gum, one million; baling .wire, fifty
cents. I can see you squint, and
vour eyes glint in search for the
granger reduction of this tax. Be of
good cheer. No scented soap ever
squalled wood ashes and lye when
properly blended, and your child
ov gets the penny all day sucker
for one-half penny. The west winds
will lave your beaded brow in place
of the electric fan, and besides, if a
total of 850 million is saved lo Ihose
who do not spin, don't they have just
thai much more to buy our alfalfa
hay with? Be of good cheer. Funer
als may be cut from $75 to $50 with
additional trimmings.
