He Really Can can. In an effort to stock up pn some good old fashioned sauerkraut Bill Crist had an accident. The crock he was going to use slipped and cut his hand which required a trip to the doctor for stitches. He has, very good naturedly, put up with the ribbing he has been getting as a result. Hope everything heals up quickly, Bill, and that on your next canning venture you have better luck. Notice Once again we have been asked by Mr. Thelen who has the farm south of us to keep the children away from his barns. There were some 'teen-agers seen on the premises about a week ago and the following morning Jerry found his wire cut and quite a bit of silage strewn around the barn.. As Jerry put it, we certainly would not appreciate about thirty cows running over,our lawns and gardens. Aside* from this startling predicament no one, we are sure, .would care to see their children inolved in a tussle with the law. He has had our cooperation in the past and is confident of it again; these things have a I way of being forgotten unless A we are reminded now &nd then.

Joe Marsh She's Got Dad's "Number" Dad Fowler and his Mrs. are about to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary--so | asked them if there's any "secret" to this kind of wedded bliss. "Oh we've had our arguments," said Dad, "but for fifty years I made it a point to count to fourteen before any argument cou}d turn into a real quarrel.. Fourteen -- because that's exactly the amount of money I had the day we were .married." "From now on," smiled Mrs. Fowler, "you better count*to twelve. The two dollars for the marriage license was mine." From where I sit, we all need some kind of formula for getting alone with each other. The best one I know Is "tolerance" -- the business of live and let live. It has to do with little things, too, like your preference for tea, and mine for beer. Let's count to ten, twelve or fourteen --and never let oar differences turn into quarrels. Copyright, 1958.
