today's laugh
I hate to fix
things around the house. Thats why everything
works.
You have heard it said before that this
man needs no introduction. Well, I have heard him, and he
needs all the introduction he can get!
Gertie the receptionist comes into the
office and proudly displays a diamond bauble on her
finger. Grinning, she says, "Its a boy
six foot one and a hundred eighty-five pounds."
"I see your application says
youre twenty-five. If you join our company at the
bottom, what will you be in three years?"
"Twenty-eight."

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
EUGENE V. DEBS IN TOWN.
He Would Continue and
Extend the Trusts - He is Against Expansion and Says
There is no Prosperity.
Eugene V. Debs, the noted labor leader
and the Social Democratic candidate for president,
arrived in Carthage on last evenings Frisco and is
quartered at the Harrington. Mr. Debs came here direct
from Joliet, Illinois, where he spoke on Wednesday night.
He is to lecture at the Grand tonight, and will fill a
series of engagements at towns in this region.
A reporter called on him at his rooms
at the hotel this morning and had a forty-five
minutes chat with him. Mr. Debs looks to be about
forty-five years of age. He is smooth shaven and is
partially bald, giving him the appearance of having an
exceedingly high forehead. He is very affable, and a most
pleasant gentleman to meet. He was in his shirt sleeves
this morning, when the reporter was ushered into his
room.
"You have a pretty town
here," said Mr. Debs. "I got up early this
morning for a little stroll and I saw a great deal to
admire. I should judge you have a busy, active city
also." He then asked a number of questions
concerning the electric railway, in the length of which
and the number of towns reached he was much interested.

Today's Feature
Council
Request Fulfilled.
The City has received a report
as requested on the proposed use of the
$28,333.33 fee for contracted services with the
Carthage Chamber of Commerce. The funding was
appropriated by the Council for economic
development services contract for the period from
March 1 to June 30, 2000. The contract is
scheduled to be renewed at the beginning of the
fiscal year for an annual amount of $85,000.
The report, which was in the
form of a letter from the Chairman of the Chamber
Board of Directors Bob Copeland to Mayor Kenneth
Johnson, gave brief descriptions and overviews of
expenses the Chamber expects to incur during the
remainder of the budget year for economic
development activities. CW&EP has agreed to
share the expense of the contract with the City.
Under the agreement, the City
& CW&EP funds will be used to pay
approximately 80% of salaries for Chamber
President Max McKnight and half of a secretarial
position. Other miscellaneous expenses and
overhead will also be allowable. A quarterly
report by the Chamber for City/CW&EP funds is
a requirement of the contract.
A Few artCamp Classes
Already Set!
by Robin Putnam, artCentral
Our Life Drawing sessions
started off with a bang !! Last Thursday we had
five people attend !! They really liked the new
class-room..........so much more room !! When we
did these drawing evenings last year we were
forced to use one of the second floor bedrooms.
Not terrible...just a bit cramped once you get
the model, props, lights, chairs.....and then you
have to find room for the people who are there to
draw !!
Three cheers for the drawing
group !! There is plenty of room for more so if
you want to try it or know someone who does just
send them this way around six on Thursdays !!
We are hoping to get some
changes made this summer to those upstairs
bedrooms. We have decided to make the larger one
into another classroom and the smaller one into a
gallery for our members !!
With an actual gallery up there
our members would be able to bring in a few
pieces of their work for display and to sell. We
always need more art in here for folks to look at
!!
Great news !! Our artCamp
schedule is filling up nicely !! So far we have
had lots of teachers contact us and want to set
up something as well as already having six of the
twelve days booked !!
So far we know we will be
offering mosaic, which will be a two day project.
Lis McCool from Anderson will guide the kids in a
project 18 inches by 18 inches !! This class will
include drawing, painting, bashing, gluing and
grouting !! Sounds like a ton of fun !!
Judy Porter and Jeannie Martin
from Butler, MO and Springfield, respectively,
will again this year offer a wide variety of
projects. These two artists have taught at
artCentral for YEARS !! We sooo appreciate them
coming back year after year !! Some of their
projects include sculpture, painting,
cari-catures and mixed media. They have signed up
for three days !! This will give the kids a lot
to experience !!
Riki Lipe from Springfield will
be with us again this year. She teaches writing
and illustration so the kids will actually create
their own little book !! Looks like were
off and running !!!
More.......next week. 358-4404.

Talkin'
Mornin',
Theyre have been a
few decent tv commercials come out over the
last year or so. The ability to make dogs,
lizards and babies appear to talk (bob, the
internet kid) seems ta be the fad. These high
tech wonders get your attention cause
they are cute.
The best use of the
computer generated images Ive see
though is one where ya dont expect it.
Its the one where ya see an
exterminator lookin for somethin
and all the sudden there is some critter
runnin here and there on what appears
to be the surface of your tv screen.
Fortunately they only let the illusion go on
for a few seconds and appear to spray the
critter and it falls safely inside the set.
Its creepy. Ive only seen it
once, but the affect left a real impression.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin.

This is a
wonderful time of year..... anytime can be when
you are feeling well. However, when I was digging
out my flowerbed, which had been neglected for
several years, it had some wonderful dandelion
growth. It was not an easy job until I decided to
keep the roots and brew them up that evening with
some of the mint that had taken over as well.
What a great combination with dual reward. My
flower bed is clean and I have enough tea to do a
spring flush. Dandelion is well known in the
traditional usage of herbs as a excellent
survival food and is "also used as a
diuretic and for diabetes. It has the ability to
cleanse obstructions and stimulate the liver to
detoxify poisons. The juice from the stem can be
applied and allowed to dry to treat worts."*
It is also said to help nourish
the blood, liver and spleen and contains many
nutrients which may be useful in treating anemia
Lots of requests for recipe we
had recently taste tested. So simple and easy it
is almost a shame to admit. It is one of those
you start with basics and end with the basics.
That easy and most nutritious.
One pkg. of smoked flavored
tofu cut into one inch squares. Try It!
One pkg. frozen Easy Meal with
organic vegetables and seasoning sauce.
Heat small amount of olive oil
in wok or hot skillet stirring until browned
(about one minute) add the vegetables, sauce
mixed w/water, cover and steam for approx. 10
min. Easy and very nutritional, and faster than
waiting in line at a fast food place!! You may
add any other goodies you like to mix and serve
with rice. Pkg. says serves 2. I serve 4 with
side rice.
