JAZZ AND THE POULTRY FARM
According to a varicious story pub-
lished on the front page of the New York
"World," wita Christmas came a phono-
graph to the home of one Frank Habig,
a chicken raiser near Columbus, Ind.
Two days later he found 155 eggs in his
hen honse, which housed 122 henB, and
where at no time during the year had
. he ever gathered more than 65 eggs a
day. The following day there were 105
eggs.
It seems that Habig noticed that ttu
hens had been very active and took
more interest in life, and rushed about
the hen house, when the jazz music was
played. Habig considers that the jazz
music makes the hens get the exercise
they need to lay.
A friend oi Habig, however, beliefs
that the activity of hens is due to their
exasperation at the music.
However, wnichever way it is, every-
body who has hens will be buying phono-
graphs and playing jazz musi: to them
to test the value of the discovery of this
Indiana chicken raiser.—Musical Ameri-

QUICK WORK
American Legion Weekly: Apparent-
ly poverty-striken, save for his blushing
bride at his elbow, the newly-made
groom asked the magistrate the charge*
for having tied the nuptial knot. The
Judge, regarding him with sympathy and
compassion, said, "Two dollars and a
half, friend."
The swaip extracted a rol' that would
have taxed the contractu? muscle* of a
mule's throat. The eyes of the Judge
bulged, but he thought quickly, and
added the single word, "Each."
Bessie Crouch and Loraine Luker
spent the week-end in Austin.
Wynona Guest and Louise Lamb went
to Austin Sunday.
Mrs. Margaret McKennon, librarian,
is absent from her place for a day or
two.
SUDDENLY OMR DAY
(Found in the pocket of Capt. T. P. C.
Wilson, killed in action.)
Suddenly one day
The last ill shall fade away.
The last little beastliness that is in our
blood
Shall drop from us as the sheath drops
from the bud, •
And the great spirit of man shall strug-
gle through
And spread huge branches underneath
the blue,
In any mirror, be it bright or dim,
Man will sefe God, staring back at him.
Notice is received of the marriage of
Miss Ruth Madelane Smith to Ira N.
Kidd at Alvin, Texas. Kidd was a stu-
dent in Southwestern during the ses-
sion of 1014-1915. He is now connected
with the Mackay Telegraph and Cable
Company.

itor Gayle Waldrop.
The Saturday Evening Jester carries
out the burlesque on the Saturday Eve-
ning Fost, which its name implies. A
more clever burlesque it has not been
our pleasure to see for sometime.

been visited by him.
V
FOUND IN A BOTTLE
What was the small objeet floating
on the bay? • It was coming closer.
Presently I could make out that it was
a bottle.
Some current was bringing it direetly
toward me. I waited. Suddenly the
current changed and bore the bottle
seaward. Then it occurred to me that
probably the flask contained a message
of some kind.
"It would be a shame to let it go,"
I thought. "No doubt some shipwreck-
ed sailor has placed a word in it. It
may contain some story of distress, an
appeal for help."
So I plunged from the rocky shore
and swam with all my might. I gained
inch by stubborn inch upon the bottle.
The current was swift and it took all
my strength to make appreciable prog-
ress. At last, when I was almost com-
pletely exhausted, I reached the buttle
and grasped it firmly. Proudly I bore
it back to shore. ,r. •' |
Sure enough, there was a message in-
side. It read: ''There's one born ev-
ery minute."—By Walter C. Doty.
'' Pains am de symptoms of life—dead
'uns neber hab no pains."—Texas Utili-
ty News.

I saw you with last night T"

was my old girl painted over."
