Bnnrruul 1:11Irllarllllllirulllullam B. E. A BAD SNOWSTORM Leonard Siemens, a prosperous farmer and noted pop corn raiser liv- ing southwest of town, had a very queer incident happen on his farm last week. He has a very large Held of pop corn and in some way or other, his cattle broke the fence down and got into the pop corn plot. A great loud clap of thunder and a dangerous flash of lightning came at this particular moment and in some mysterious man- ner struck the held of popcorn, caus- ing each kernel to pop into large flaky white puffs. The cattle, frightened seriously and thinking it was snow, at once surrendered, lay down and froze to death. Mr. Siemens suffered a great loss from this queer incident. We all sympathize with him and join him in sorrowing over the lost herd. A FRESI-IMAN POEM r 'Twas midnight-and the setting sun Was rising in the east: The bullfrogs were drinking butter- milk And the cow was in her nest. CWith apologies to the author of the Lost Chord. J Seated one day in the assembly, l was weary and wanted to stop, And my pen point wandered idly Over my desk's smooth top. I l knew not what l was writing, Nor of what l was dreaming then: But l heard a voice in the distance, Like the sound of an army of men! The footsteps grew nearer and nearer, A voice in the distance said, Come, And l walked to the front to the plat- form, And got rid of two sticks of gum. BRIGHT REMARKS FROM THE SENIORS Leonard S.: That leg is chairlessf' Lovilla H.: What is anatomy? A study of bugs? Floyd S.: Luther Burbank was a grafterf' OF COURSE! Miss Karsten fto Bessejz What kind of a musical instrument do you like best? Besse: Tom-tom. S sg Bu:1alannl:lllllrlllllulnlflrlunrnlpm Lenora: Are late hours good for one? Gladys: No, but l've heard they are good for two. lMPoSSIBI.E For Leroy Messer to stop whisper- ing. For Miss Kennon to chew gum. For Fred to ask for dates.

Leonard was asked what division of the army he would like to join. lfle replied, The Mafujrine Corps. A collision-the alley ran into the street. A voice over the telephone: May l come up this evening? Besse Kerner: Sure, who is it? Alvin: Oh, she's simply wonder- ful, a perfect beaut-with graceful and marvelous lines. And speed-l'll tell the world: speed's her middle name. She's a stunnerf' Waldo: Gimme an introduction. What's her name? Alvin: H1923 Oldsmobile.
