GREAT DISCOVERY
TI if other day, while dinging
with our hoe in front of the of
fica, wo made a great discovery.
We found, growing in a nice
straight row, a line concrete
sidewalk aLout 10 feet wide. On
digging farther, we found that
it continued up past Grigsby's
cream station, and down past
the Baptist church. However,
after unearthing a strip about a
block long, we realized that our
hands were blistered, that it was
dreadfully hot, and almost din
ner time
Not being a natural hog, we
decided that we would let the
other citizens of the town make
their own discoveries. Get a
hoe and dig around in your front
yard. Possibly you could find
some such fruit growing there.
Anjhow, it's good exerciso and
a fine appitizer.
Moral: VVhat's the use in
paying a large sum of money to
build concrete sidewalks, and
then walk in grass and weeds
knee-high?
Dr. Roberts, Dentist, has lo
cated in Davenport, and will be
at Dr. Nickell's office next Fri-

J uly 16, 17 and 18.
TEN COMMANDMENTS
Since last week's issue, one of
our lady readers handed us the
following, written by one J. Y.
B Wood, an evangelist and
cartoonist, saying that "it is as
fair for the goose as it. is for the
gander."
1. Thou shalt have no other
woman nut thy wife, nor shalt
thou make love to another, nor
have an affinity.
2. Thou shalt not place clubs,
card games, pool halls, lodges,
smokers nor politics before t hy
duty to thy home; nor shalt thou
call thy wife the "old lady;" nor
thy children "brats."
3. Thou shalt not be a sweei
pickle among thy friends and
with strangers whom thou shalt
meet, and be a barrel of sour
krout in thy home.
4. Thou shalt not make silly
excuses to thy wife why thou
keepest late hours; nor shalt thou
use sen sen nor clover in an at-
tempt to fool th y sensible wife.
For thy wife's no fool, if thou art.
5 Thou shalt not buy thy-
self fine clothes in order to
attract the eyes of other women
and let thy wife wear her last
summer's hat and grown;
neither shalt thou let her cut the
wood to get h«r breakfast, hub
thou shalt have duo considera-
tion for her. Nor shalt thou
worship the Almighty dollar and
compel thy children togo in rags.
G. Thou shalt not neglect to
love tliv wife and praise her oc-
casionally; neither shalt. thou fail
to love thy children and thy
home; nor shalt thou assist her,
as thy sweetheart, ovei a broom
slraw and utterly fail to help her,
after she becomes thy wife, to
climb over a stake and rider
fence.
7 Thou fchall nof'euss" nor
drink, nor carouse nor do any-
thing vita unless thou givetli thy
wife the same privilege.
8. Thou shalt, walk citcuin
spectly before thy children, for
thou art their example; neither
shalt thou go before them into
questionable places.
9 Thou shalt not growl at thy
wife because the victuals are not
always to thy liking; nor shalt
thou everlastingly criticize thy
wife when the house is not al-
ways the tidiest, but thou should-
st slide out of thy coat, roll up
thy shirt sleeves, spit upon thy
haDds, rustle in and help the
tired thing with her never end-
ing task-
10. Thou shalt be at home
enough of the spare time in order
that thy wife and children may
know thee and that thou may
not become a stranger within thy
gates. Thou shalt also chastise
thy offspring when occasion
requres such, but if thou art a
dutiful, loving father thy child
ren shalt obey thee perfectly.
