Uncle Josh Says
Written By Unclc Josh
I Dear uncle—I have been read- ]
ing your column for some time and
enjoy it preatly, and think you arc
a great writer, also a well learned
man. So please allow me to ask
i you a private question, you can
answer through your column if
i you wish. I have heard so many
ladies speak so highly of their
model husbands, and can you des-
i eribe to me in a clear way the
i meaning of a model hysband?
I am going to send you some of
my poetry later and let you pub-
| lish it in your paper.
Yours very much, BERNICE.
Thanks, Bernice, fer your kind
kompliments u has said bout me.
u has cum to me fer such infer-
mashun. Now, Bernice, dont go
an git al larmed over my answer,
i know jist how you feel bout this
thing, an i feels it my duty to tel
u the truth bout this matter. A
model husband is the small imi-
tashun ofthe real thing.
For tht poor little
Poodle dog had died.

(Lino. Opr.: Just because Uncle
Josh found one of those old maid
school teachers that have come in
for the summer school, that would
speak to him, and let him take her
to the show—that one upstairs—
Saturday night, he thinks he is
the whole cheese around this of-
fice, but if you want to know who's
who, come down and see. No, it
isn' tJosh, not by a long shot.)
Wei, hear i be, i aint drowned

CITY SIGHTS
Time: About three weeks
ago.
High overhead an aeroplane
droned, causing a minority of
the persons on Main street to
risk their cosmopolitan as-
sumption of boredom in frank
staring.
"Old stuff" they muttered
petulantly to their more re-
served companions, annoyed
by the instinct which betrayed
them.
The aeroplane droned on,
unobserved.
Thirty seconds later, on the
same street, a woman attempt-
ed to adjust her stocking. The
woman was young. It was a
silk stocking.
Immediately all traffic
stopped.
WORTH THE MONEY—Cleve-
land county farms and Norman
city property listed with me for
sale. Two 5-room modern bunga-
lows just completed, $2750.00 each
6-room house, garage, hen house,

TOUGH TRAVEL
TO FRANCE TO
HAVE FOE QUIT
New York, June 9,—Opinion
among the twenty-one officers
and 1,520 men of the 345th field
artillery, the principal organiza-
tion aboard the transport Ken-
tuckian, which docked here last
Saturday night, is that it was
rough travel all the way from Ok-
lahoma and Texas to France, only I
to have the Germans quit on them i
before they had a chance to pull
a lanyard.
But, at the same time, it was
mighty fine to feel the soil of the
United States under foot again.
Everybody agreed to that from
Col. George L. Wertenbaker, a reg
ular army man down to one of the
three mascots, all of which are
dogs, one a native American,
another a naturalized American,
of Pomeranian ancestry, and the
third a German without even his
first papers.
Dog Wears Service Stripes.
The American is a pup of great
intelligence, but of dubious ances-
try, whose name has been mis-
laid, or fell overboard, or some-
thing. The Pomeranian is a pro-
American named Metz, who sports
two service stripes and a wound
chevron.
The third dog, owned by Major
E. S. Thatcher, is what is techni-
cally known as a bad actor in mil-
itary circles. His principal sport
consists of trying to bite dough-
boys when their backs are turned.
Major Thatcher is sure that his
German police dog is unruly more
because of innate iniquity than en-
vironment.
Crown Prince Left Him.
When the crown prince, travel-
ing light and rapidly toward Hol-
land and leaving Germany flat,
started from Treves, the German
dog, then known as Koenig, stayed
behind with bared teeth, along
with many others with which the
prince was ond of associating. On j
St. Patrick's day a German lieu- |
tenant, apparently the officer of
the royal hounds on the staff of j
the crown prince, gave Koenig to i
Major Thatcher, who was busy I
doing police duty in Treves. In
honor of the day, Koenig officially I
became Pat, but actually in spirit [
and action he remains Koenig. ,
