Cutting Out Themiddleman

Bobbie-"f saw you kissin' sister again, last night."

Suitor-"Well, I'm not going to give you a quarter again."

Bobbie-"That's the tendency of these times. They all want to cut out the middle man and let the goods go straight from the producer to the consumer without charge."

Theeditor Got It

In the country newspaper office, they one day found a big, fine looking turkey, left at the office.

Of course, there were many longing eyes cast at the prize, but naturally it fell to the lot of the editor, and since he showed no disposition to deny himself the treat, he carried it home, cooked, and atee it \,eith much relish.

The next day a letter was handed to him, that read: "Mr.. Editor, I sent you a turkey yesterday, which has been the cause of much dispute in this district. Several turkeys have died in the same mysterious way, and we sent one to you to see if you could tell us what disease killed it."

Someone ought to pass the apples round again.

He also suggested that the Institute adopt a slogan something like the following: "Mill Work Constructed Instead of Carpenter Made."

Referring to Lawn-Furniture, he stated that the eastern trade did a large volume of business in this line in the east, lvhere they have lawns only three or four months in the year, while in California rvith yearlong attractive lawns, the field is practically untouched.

He spoke on the inroads being made in California by eastern concerns. such as manufacturers of steel sash, and nothing is being done to stop this invasion. He urged that such instances be ofi-set by education and advertising. We are too close to California, that lve seem to lack vision he remarked, while easterners come ottt here and grasp the opportunity. From a pamphlet issued by the Sacramento Chlmber of Commerce. he read what Arthur Brisbane had to say about the opportunities of Northern California from his observation gathered during his recent trip through the state.
