Opiate

How can we view the verdure new, Which in the spring doth beckon?

The O.P.A. to our dismay, On this has failed to reckon. The son and heir needs sun and air, Demands a motor outing, Must we deny the anguished cry, The tumult and the shouting? We cant behold the sheep in fold, Nor pet the sportive rooster, The rural scene can never mean The things it always useter. That vernal lure we must abjure, In favor of our salons, No more to roam away from home On one and.one-half gallons.

HO\v HE LANDED

A certain flying instructor at an army camp recently made a parachute landing that got him a lot of good natured kidding.

He was up in a training ship with one of his students, who was well advanced in flying. The instructor, having plenty of faith in the student, told him some things to do, and then fell asleep in the rear cockpit. The student did as he was told, then seeing his teacher fast asleep, returned to the landing field and put the plane down easily and softly. Since the teacher still slept the student grinned to himself and left.

Some time later the instructor woke suddenly, and the first thing that struck his mind was that there was no student in the front seat. The silence told him the motor was not running. In his sleepy state he instantly figured that the motor had stalled and the student had bailed out. Instantly he rolled over the side of the plane, pulling thi rip cord as he did. He landed on the concrete runway and broke his collar bone. And was he embarrassed?

No Rationing

Fat lady, fat lady, why do you eat Cookies and ice cream and things that are sweet? You should eat spinach, and lettuce, and beets, You could then see a show without buying two seats.

A SHORT-SHORT EPITAPH

The young reporter had been lectured about padding his stories, getting in too many uninteresting details. So when a fatal accident took place in the highest building in town, he reported it this way:

"Bill Walker, the janitor, looked up the elevator shaft in the Jones Building this morning to see if the elevator was running. It was. Aged 52 Funeral Tuesday morning, 11 :30."

Merchandising

This happened before the war. Business was bad with the clothing jobber. He had 49 overcoats he couldn't sell, and the winter was passing rapidly. He told a friend about it, and the friend gave him this advice. "Pick out seven country stores, and ship them seven overcoats each, but invoice each of them for only six, making the bill take care of the seven. They will think you've made a mistake in their favor, and will promptly remit for the six." It looked like an idea, so the jobber did it. To his great disgust all seven of the country merchants returned the six coats mentioned in the bill, and kept the extra one. Honesty, you see, is the best policy. But for who?

Another Alphabet

A draftee from New York's East Side filled in his draft papers showing himself to be Abe Cohen, C.P.A.

The camp they sent him to was sadly in need of bookkeepers, so he was quickly assigned to that department, where he proceeded to make a mess of things. When the officers finally discovered that he couldn't add two and two and get four if they spotted him the "fou," one of them called him on the carpet. 'llhe soldier protested that he knew nothing whatever about bookkeeping or accounting.

"Then for heaven's sake," said the officer, "why did you call yourself a C.P.A. in your original papers?"

"That's my business," replied Cohen. "Cleaning, Press. ing, and Alterations,"

Take Time

Take time to look-it's the price of success.

Take time to think-it's the source of power.

Take time to play-it's the secret of youth.

Take time to read-it's the source of wisdom.

Take time to be friendly-it's the road to happiness.

Take time to laugh-it's the music of the soul.
