As Joe Denn's wife has gone fer the summer he has now started washin' dishes with the garden hose—this bein' an excellent way to water the lawn and thus kill two birds with one stone.

Joe Denn wishes to correct an item which appeared a couple days ago in this colyum of condiment. We said that Joe had been washin' the dishes with a garden hose since his wife left fer the summer. That's wrong. He hasn't been washin' 'em at all.

One of the local villagers who has been complainin' to his wife that he couldn't whack the lawn because he had heart disease visited a local M.D. yesterday and after a thorough examination felt greatly relieved when the doc told him that the creakin' sound which he heard at every deep breath came from the pulley on his patent suspenders.
