Ode To A Complex

A complex is a fearful thing Or so it seems to me, It keeps one from becoming that Which one most wants to be. It's tough, when you've laid out a task And feel quite equal to it, To hear a pesky complex say, "Awright, Kid, try and do it."

Some day when skies are bright and fair And I feel fit and trim, I'll take my pesky complex out And rend him limb from limb. And then, when I have done the deed And his career is through, No doubt I'll hear his ghost remafk, "That wasn't bad-for you."

-Fred Meyers.

Bryan On Marriage

When William Jennings Bryan asked for the hand of the daughter of John Baird, he quoted the following proverb from Solomon: "Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favirr of the Lord."

Baird, who was also a Bible student, replied that while Solomon did make that remark, the great teacher Paul had said, however, that "while he that marryeth doeth well, he that marryeth not doeth better."

Whereat Bryan replied that in a controversy between these two the opinion of Solomon was the more valuable on this subject because while Paul never married and couldn't possibly know, Solomon had married a thousand times and was an authoritY.

T|^IHAT A DIFFERENCE FIFTY YEARS MAKE 1881

Fifty years ago women wore hoopskirts, bustles, petticoats, corsets, cotton stockings, high-buttoned shoes, ruffled cotton undies, flannel nightgowns, puffs in their hair -did their own cooking, baking, cleaning, washing, ironing-raised bigger families-went to church Sunday-were too busy to be sick.

Men wore whiskers, square hats, Ascot ties, red fannel underwear, big watches and chains-chopped wood for stoves-bathed once a week-drank ten-cent whisky and five-cent beer-rode bicycles, buggies, or sleighs-went in for politics-and lived to a ripe old age.

Stores burned coal-oil lamps-carried everything from a needle to a plow-trusted everybody-never took an inventory-placed orders fo'r goods a year in advance-always made money.

1931

Today women wear silk stockings, short skirts, low shoes, no corsets, an ounce of underwesl-fu4vs bobbed hairsmoke, paint, powder, drink, play bridge, drive cars, have pet dogs, and go in for politics.

Men have high btood pressure, wear no hats, some have no hair, shave their whiskers, shoot golf, bathe twice a day, drink poison, play the stock market, ride airplanes, never go to bed the same day they get up, are misund.erstood at home, work five hours a day, play ten, die young.

Stores have electric lights,, cash registers, never have what the customers want, trusts nobody, takes inventory daily, never buy in advance, have overhead, mark-up markdown quote-budget-advertising-stock control, dollar day, founders day, rummage day, economy day sales-and never make any money.-Exchange.

A Nickel

I am a nickel.

I am not on speaHng terms with the candy man. I am too srnall to get in the movies.

I am not large enough to buy a necktie.

I am of small consideration in the purchase of gasoline. I am not fit to be a tip. But-believe me, when I go to church I am SOME money.-Exchange.
