Sometimes the stories told by a
speaker, especially If they are as
pertinent and forceful as those told
by “Farmer’’ Brown, are of particular
interest. A resume of the picnic?
speech by Mr- Brown would not be
complete without a few of the numer­
ous stories with which he stressed
his points.
It seems there wa a lady who was
very much worried about her husband

of liquor every Saturday night- She

that she heap coals of fire on head
meaning, of course, that she treat
him in the best possible manner in or­

Misunderstanding his question as to
whether she had used cokls of fue,
she replied. “No. but I’ve used boil-

Mr- Maris explained the danger of
looking backward to the past instead

-of the strange Australian bird that
„always flew backward because it

And Mr. Brown- evidently from con­
siderable experience in matrimony
gave a toast to the gentler sex:
“There’s a gladness to her gladness
when she’s glad.
There’s a • sadness to her sadness
when she’s sad.
But the gladness of her gladness
And the sadness of her sadness
Is nothing to the madness of her mad­

To Offer Assistance
- Plans for the organization of a fire
department in Moro, moved forward
this week with a meeting called by ..
the fire chief, Joe Truitt, which en­
abled interested citizens to hear two
state deputies. E- A- Taylor and Geo.
W- Stokes, explain the requirements
for a^small towrf fire department.
Both of the state fire workers de­
clared that expensive equipment was
unnecessary in a small town and that
for a few hundred dollars an old tour­
ing car could be bought and trans­
formed into a hose wagon that was
satisfactory for all fires if manned by
a trained crew of firemen.
