I hate the chap who tries to beat the traffic light; But if he haopens to be me—why, that’s quite all right — I loathe the sarr that in a jam twists out and in; But if I'm sitting at the wheel, I slyly grin. At drivers who lean on their horns, I rave anc shout; / But when some fool gets in my way, I honk him out -- . I grow indignant, at the chance another takes: But I drive sixty miles an hour, and trust nv brakes. I wonder, is it possible they cannot see That traffic laws were made for them, and no; for me?

To prevent clothes from freezing to the clothesline rope boil it for half an hour or so in salt water. This will also pre­vent the line from tangling. The clothes­pins should be boiled in salt water too. To remove frost from windows and wind­shields, use the back of a comb. Longer skirts may make a girl look taller, but they won't make a man look longer.

THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS AWAY A mighty monarch in the days of old Made offer of high honor, wealth and gold To one who should produce in form concise A motto for his guidance, terse, yet wise; A precept soothing in his hours forlonn, Yet one that in his prosperous days would warn. Many the maxims sent the king, men say: The one he chose, "This, too, shall pass away." Has some misfortune fallen to your lot? This, too, will pass away, absorb the thought, And wait ----- your waiting will not be in vain, Time gilds with gold the iron links of pain. The dark today leads into light tomorrow; There is no endless joy, no endless sorrow. Only the sunny soul respects its God. Since life is short, we need to make it board; Since life is brief, we need to make it bright; Then keep the old king1s motto well in ! sight, And let its meaning permeate each day Whatever comes --- "This, too, shall pass away." --------Ella Wheeler Wilcox Miss Edna Mae Harris entertained at a :Trousseau Tea, Wednesday afternoon at the jhome of her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Ervin I Harris.
