It looks as if Mayfield is in just
as bad a fix as Peddy, since his name
will not appear on the election ticket.
The powers that be. certainly have
gotten things in a mess. But we do
not believe the people are going to be
fooled or allow themselves influenced
in casting their votes for Peddy, the
fiolitical spasm of the democratic has-
beens. The Democratic party may
have made a mistake in selecting May-
field as its candidate for the high of-
fice of United States Senator, but
there is one thing sure, it cannot afford
to let a man of Peddy’s calibre, who
has put on the party robes of all of
the other parties known, hoping they
will elevate him to a seat in the United
States Senate, land the seat by elev-
enth hour politics.

Nobody swatted the fly.
Nobody won* n wrist watch.
Nobody had appendicitis.
Nobody wore white shoes.
Nobody sprayed orchards.
Nobody knew about radio.
Most young men had “liberty bills.”
Farmers came to town for their mail.
Many people read by the candle or
kerosene light.
The heavens were not full of manbirds.
Nor the seas alive with underwater

lution was unanimously adopted:

NEVER ATE AN EGG
The most outstanding fact in tha
life of a woman who died in Delaware
at the age of 95 ia that she never ate
•n egg. To say the least, this is aa
unusual record. One might think that
she never ate eggs for the simple rea-
son that she disliked them. But U
she never ate an egg how did aha
know that she did not like them ? So
tha mystery remains unsolved.
