SATURDAY, NOV. 27, 120.
The fruits of prohibition are raisins and apples.
Price cuts haven't yet reached the stage of quantity reduction.
Money is like men. The tighter it gets, the louder it talks.
There is/ no prospect of an early reduction in the wages of sin.
The poor profiteers are beginning to feel the pinch of moderation.
Ireland seems bent ¦ on being one of the United Kingdoms' ex-iles.
A hog is never cured until it's dead. This applies to rent hogs as well.
All men are equal in the grave. The Bolshevik plan to make all men equal.
It's too bad our ancestors didn't live long enough to realize how smart we are.
Apparently, England is a body of land entirely surrounded by troubled waters.
: John Barleycorn iaj officially dead, but his funeral expenses stagger humanity.
Whether or not the League of Nations has been scrapped, the scrap about it hasn't.________
More dollars are wanted for prohibition enforcement. Also more sense in its enforcement.
Now that calico has dropped 50 per cent, all that is needed is to induce the girls to wear it.
The wheat farmer is glad cotton is coming down and the cotton farmer is glad wheat is coming down.
A large poTt^rTTT^r trouble U| caused by too much bone in the head and not enough in the back.
just when we were begging to cuss England for her treatment of Ireland, along came that Haiti mess.
It seems to be easier to curtail the credits than it is to credit some of the curtailments that we hear about.
There is a right way to settle all problems, and most of our trouble is occasioned by trying to avoid that way.
A reader asks: "Will there be any
profiteers in the other world? We
hope so. We wish they were all
there. __________
The sort of women who marry men to reform them ought to find reforming politics a wonderful outlet for, their activities.
Coal men are in a position to forecast where prices may go, but the consumer can only predict where coal men may go. '
We never really understood the merchants' wail about overhead expense until we had to buy hats for the entire family.
Those who are trying to fix up Leagues of their own particular brand may find' themselves denounced a:g "boot-leggers."
Somewhere in the Good Book it is written, "It is not good that the man should be alone." Whether it was because of his reading of the Good Book, or whether he just naturally came to that conclusion, Logie Bonnett, the esteemed Editor of this publication ended his loneliness Thursday afternoon when he renounced celibacy and became a benedict.
Upon second thought, we are more inclined to believe that it was because of his wooing of Miss Lee Lacy Porter, a very attractive young lady that Editor Bonnett decided that it was not good that he should be alone, for it was she whom he "took unto himself" to end his loneliness. Having met Miss Porter, we can testify that he made an eminently wise decision, but he was so deliberate about it;vwe should have been disposed to make it at first sight.
Inasmuch as Editors are always "writing up" other people, we feel justified, in Editor Bonnett's absence, to get back at him. He fancied that he could steal away and have the nuptial knot tied without anyone being the wiser, but he fancied wrongly. He ought to have known that, while it is possible to fool some of the people all the time, it is impossible to fool all of the people all the time, notably the Devil (not the "evil spirit," but the kind that infest every printing office), the Devil stayed on the job. Editor Bonnett for several months past; he knew that something was "in the wind." So Thursday, being a holiday, the Devi stayed on he job. Editor Bonnett arrived at his| office bright and early, but he couldn't work. He tried to sketch a cartoon, but failed. He then wrote an editorial, but consigned it to the waste-basket. It wouldn't do. He hen paced the floor. The Devil opined that something was about to happen, so he took a position behind one of the big trees in the Courthouse yard—and waited. It wsn't long before the Editor came along with "Billy" Parker, the "Cupid Clerk." and entered the courthouse. And he then proceeded to put us "wise." It wsn't long before the lady appeared on the scene, and the Editor and the lady drove away from the courthouse in his auto in quest of a parson. We immediately placed our "spies" out and learned that Parson Lee, of Trinity Church, Towson, had been found, and that all was well.
Notwithstanding the fact" that Editor Bonnett was ot the office bright and early the next morning we feel constrained to "break the news" to his reader^, and in behalf of the directorate and staff of The Jeffersonian to extend to him and his bride our warmest congratulations and well wishes.

About the only international agreement that would be generally popular, it seems, is one in which no nation agrees to do anything.

Before getting jubilant over the scheme to run your automobile on onion juice, drop around to the grocers' and inquire the price of onions.
A headline in a New York newspaper says "$100,000 Raised To Bribe Dry Agents." So paltry a sum bears out the Commissioner's claim that his forces are inadequate.
Men and women who, last year, were living on "easy street, with a good job, are going to find themselves facing what seems to them a joblesss world, with a good chance of starva-ion before many months roll around.
