Now there is a house without a
flaw.
Gosh, what do you walk on?
Haven’t you ever heard of
the fall of Rome?
No, but I do remember hearing something drop.
How did you come to mark this
man’s paper 101%? Don’t you know that
nothing can be more perfect than 100%?
Yes, but this student answered one question that
we didn’t ask.
So your girl broke your
engagement?
Yeah. You know that she lived at 125th Street and
I lived at 47th St.
What’s that got to do with it?
Her mother told her she shouldn’t marry any
one beneath her station.

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin',
As far as I know, Carthage has been fortunate
over the last several years and has not had any
real problem with kids bein’ injured on
Halloween night.The main
reason I’m guessin’ is the police take
care to help keep the traffic aware and the kids
and parents take the time to be careful around
vehicles.
‘Course kids do get a
little focused on roundin’ up treats and
sometimes do stupid things.
Next to stayin’ off the
streets with a vehicle on Halloween, it might be
best to avoid congested areas and stay vigilant
of little monsters crawlin’ in the
neighborhood. Ta my way a thinkin’,
Halloween is a great time for youngsters and
adults alike. It’d be a shame to spoil the
fun by bein’ a little careless.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Here's A Tip
By JoAnn Derson
• "If you have small
children, you might want to keep a red washcloth
in your first-aid kit. Sometimes the sight of
blood can upset a child out of proportion with
the injury. If you use a red washcloth, blood
won’t show and you can spend your time
calming the hurt, not the emotion." --
School Nurse in Arizona
• "To keep cats away
from plants in the veggie garden, lay out strips
of tin foil. You can tack them into the soil with
pins or even sharp sticks. This will also keep
birds away from low-growing plants, but the birds
have to be able to see the tin foil. It’s no
good if they are buried under the foliage."
-- U.L. in Texas
• "If you are a
disabled person who is flying, ask if you are
able to use the executive lounge for a layover.
Many airlines will allow this, even if you are
not a member. It has worked for my mother, who is
legally blind. She is able to stay out of the way
and listen to a little TV, and the
customer-service agent who is attending the
lounge can let her know where to go and
when." -- C.L. in Massachusetts
• "We divide
Halloween candy up into portions when we arrive
home from trick-or-treating. The first portion is
for the child to have on Halloween, the second is
kept out for small treats until Thanksgiving, and
another portion is frozen to share with family on
Thanksgiving Day. It helps them to part with it
if they know when to anticipate its return!"
-- Y.L.D. in Nevada
• Looking for an easy way
to store flower bulbs? Add them to a leg of panty
hose, tie each one off separately and hang them
in a cool, dark place.
