And Spinach Don't Help None,' Declares Young Anatomy Expert (From the Waukesha. Wis.. Daily Freeman) Here’s a little boy’s essay on anatomy: “Your head is kind of round and hard, and your brains are in it and your hair is on it. Your face is the front of your head where you eat and make faces. Your neck is what keeps your head out of your collar. “It's hard to keep clean. Your shoulders are sori of shelfs where you hook your suspenders on them. Your stummick is something that, if you do not eat often enough, it hurts and spinach don't help none. Your spine is a long bone on your back that keeps you from folding up. Your back is always behind you no matter how quick you turn around. Your arms you got to have to pitch with and so you can reach the butter. Your fingers stick out of your hands so you can throw a curve and add up rithmatick. Your legs is what, if you have not got two of, you cannot get to first base in time. Your feet are what you run on, and your toes what always get stubbed. “And that’s all there is of you, except what’s inside and I can’t see that.’’ Owyhee Community Church News “A Great Missionary Chal lenge’’ was presented Feb. 21 in Owyhee Community church by the Rev. Bruce Porterfield of the New Tribes mission. There was a good attendance at the We-Two potluck dinner serv ed last Friday evening in the church.
