J O K E S Two old timers decided to go on-a huntini -trip. Each hunter suffered fron an affliction. Sam couldn't utter a word without stammering. Hank suffered so much from palsy that he'couldn't carry a pail of apples without shaking it empty. As the boys were strolling along. Sam spied a bird in atree. Raising his arm to halt Hank, he remarked: HL-l-l-140 lu-lu-look at the ba-bu-babu-bird. nRaising his gun and taking a careful aim, he fired. As the smoke cleared away, the bird remained, unconcernedly on the limb. UGol-durn ya, Sam, ya missed himlu Hank exclaimed. nLeave me have a shot at himln Hank raised his gun and waving it around in a se- ries of wild qyrations and jerks, he fired. After picking Hank up, Sam dashed to the tree andstared unbelievingly at the G81d bird on the ground. Finally he turned to Hank and said: HWa-wu-wa-wu-well, na-a-no wonder you hit it, ya-ya-ya--you aimed all o-o-over the who-whole d-d-d-dar-d-d-darned pa-pa-pl-place. . aaeeeeaeeseeeeeeeeae Mr. Badertscher-nWhat do you know about nitrates?u Jhitmore--HNot much, but I do know they are cheaoer than day rates.
