Grayson
By M. G. Dicken,
4T-A.3O
There was a young maiden—a Sioux,
As tempting as any home brioux;
She displayed her cute knees,
As she strolled past tepees,
And the braves all hollered: “Wioux!
Wioux!” —Exchange.

So Unusual
It happened at a major-league
baseball club’s spring training camp.
“The umpire for today’s game is at
the gate with two friends. Shall I
pass them in?” inquired the gate-
keeper of the manager.
“An umpire with two friends?”
gasped the manager when he could
get his breath. “Sure!”

In many cases, power line carrier may prove
more practical than building new telephone
lines. In other cases, other methods may be
more suitable—such as the use of new high-
strength steel wire which takes fewer tele-
phone poles and has greater resistance to
storms. Telephone men are exploring every
means of making farm telephone service
better and easier to get.

SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE CO.^Ag^
You’ve heard about a way to send telephone
conversations over electric power lines,
called “power line carrier.” It’s just one of
the many ways the telephone company
plans to extend and improve telephone serv-
ice to farmers when the wartime job eases
up. Here’s how it works:
A talking current from the telephone cen-
tral office uses the same wire that carries
current for power and light. Near the farm-
house, a “carrier coupler” takes the tele-
phone current off the power line, and stand-
ard telephone wires carry it to the house.
The telephone itself is a modern handset
instrument. It’s attached to a special equip-
ment box that looks like a small table radio.
“Won’t you come into my parlor?”
Said the spider to the fly.
“Parlor nothing—get a flivver!”
Was the modern fly’s reply.
Corps join all the Allied
giving thanks to God.”

pearls?”

Much Safer
A city man crawled over a fence,
only to find himself in a pasture with
a vicious-looking bull.
“Hey, there!” he called to a farm-
er. “Is this bull safe?”
“He sure is,” answered the farmer.
“Durn sight safer than you are.”
“Don’t forget a man is not paid for
having brains, but for using them.”
Modem Arithmetic
The teacher was trying to teach her
class the meaning of fractions. She
asked, “Tommy, if the butcher cut a
pound of beefsteak into four pieces,
what would he have?”
“Four customers waiting for it,”
Tommy replied.
Fussy Diner—“Waiter, I want some
oysters, but they mustn’t be too large
or too small, too old or too tough, and
they mustn’t be salty. I want them
Best Part
A man went to the bar and ordered
a Martini, drank it, chewed the bowl
of the glass up and threw the stem
over his shoulder. He continued this
for about six Martinis and noticed
at
knees by Allied teamwork.”
For what this has brought about,

“What makes you think you are
qualified for a position in the dip-
lomatic corps?”
“Well,” answered the applicant
modestly, “I’ve been married 20 years
and my wife still thinks I have a sick
friend.”
Not Everything
Housewife—“We are going to get
an electric washer, so we won’t need
you any more.”
Laundress—“All right, ma’am, but
an electric washer don’t give you no
gossip.”
Wrong House
Two men left a banquet together.
They had dined exceptionally well.
“When you get home,” said one, “if
you don’t want to disturb your fam-
ily, undress at the foot of the stairs,
fold your clothes neatly and creep up
to your room.”
The next day they met at lunch.
“How did you get on?”, asked the
advisor.
“Rotten,” yelled the other. “I
took off all my clothes at the foot of
the stairs, as you told me, and folded
them up neatly. I didn’t make a
sound. But, when I reached the top
of the stairs, it was the ‘L’ station.
that the bartender was staring
him.
“I guess you think I’m crazy, don’t
you?” he asked.
“I sure do,” the bartender replied.
“The stems are the best part.”
The Peopl e’s Money
_
(McKinney Examiner)
Members of Texas Legislature are
paid $10 a day for 120 days of a reg-
ular session, each two years, and for
30 days of any called session, the
people having voted the increase
from $5 to $10 several years ago.
Now it is proposed to pay the 181
members the $10 for every day in the
two years for which they are elected,
to the House, and four years to the
Senate.
This proposal will be submitted to
the voters in the election to be held
August 25, to vote on three other
constitutional amendments which
The Paris News has heretofore brief-
ly described and endorsed; but it
cannot endorse this one.
If adopted the proposal would cost
the State Treasury each year $660,-
650 and for the two years $1,321,300,
compared with about one-third that
amount for any two years in the past.
The amendment DOES NOT PRO-
HIBIT members engaging in other
business, and when the Legislature is
not in session the members would be
free to follow their usual professions
or business, and still COLLECT $10 a
day, Sundays included. The mer-
chant member would go along sell-
ing goods, the mechanic would fol-
low his trade, the doctors and law-
yers would practice and collect fees, cold and I want them at once.”
the farmers would look after their
crops. Each of these would have an
INCOME of $3,650 a year over and
above that of his neighbor, engaged
in the same business or profession.
The amendment is what is called
SELF-ENACTING. If approved by
the voters it would become EFFEC-
TIVE within 30 days after the can-
vass of the vote, and the members
would begin drawing the pay AT
ONCE, though there will not be a
session of the Legislature until Jan-
uary, 1947, unless one is called,
which at this time seems UNLIKELY.
However, it is the PEOPLE’S
MONEY, and if they want to GIVE
IT AWAY, it is their business.
Consolation For Mother
“Mother,” said little Gretchen, with
just a shade of apprehension in her
voice, “the problem you helped me
with last night was all wrong. But,”
she added consolingly, “don’t feel
badly about it, none of the other
mothers got it right, either.”
Time Was Kind
“Are you the girl who took my or-
der?”
“Yes, sir,” replied the waitress po-
litely.
“Well, I’ll be darned!”
marked. “You don’t look
older.”

WASHINGTON.—Vice Adm. Marc
A. Mitscher declared Saturday that
“Japan is beaten, and carrier sup-
premacy defeated tier.”
Former commander of Task Force
58 and now designed to be deputy
chief of naval operations (air), Mit-
scher made this statement in a mes-
sage to the Naval Airforce.
“Carrier supremacy destroyed hei’
army and navy airforces,” he said of
the enemy. “Carrier supremacy de-
stroyed her fleet. Carrier supremacy
.gave us bases adjacent to her home
islands. And carrier supremacy fi-
nally left her exposed to the most
devastating sky attack—the atomic
bomb—that man has suffered.”
Mitscher went on to say he did not
mean that air power itself won the
war with Japan.
“We exercised our carrier suprem-
acy as part of a balanced, integrated
air-surface-ground team, and of the
way in which their duties were dis-
charged,” he said.
Maj. Gen. Allen H. Turnage,
sistant commandant of the Marine
Corps, stressed teamwork in a Col-
umbia Broadcasting System address.
“As we observe today’s situation,” |
he said, “we can not over-emphasize
the fact that the once powerful Jap-
anese have been brought to their
