001C954C June 15, 1928. THE WEST VAN NEQ'S One Farmer: "Out where I come from the squashes grow so big we have to haul them in with a team of horses." Another One: "That's noth&ng. Out where I live the corn grows so fast that we have to keep two men at the base of each stalk to chop the ears off as they go by, and one day one of the fellow missed the ear and it caught under his belt. By heck, you won't believe it, but it carried him so far that we had to shoot dog biscuits up to him with a shotgun to keep him from starving."--Michigan Gargoyle. Class Leaders HOLLYBURN SCHOOL Public Schools Sports Day-- Hollyburn Wins Cup Scientifically Stated Physics Student (to prostrate pro Cessor who had stumbled over a stone): "Did you fall T" Professor: "How utterly imbecilic l Of course not!
