    Council Pokes the Fire

   The only regular work done by the
members of the village council at its
regular session last Friday evening
was to take turns in poking the fire
to keep things warmed up, as it was
not a very "heated" session.  During
the process they found an interval
long enough to pay the regular bills
and then adjourned.

   CLYDE, OHIO, Feb. 22, 1923.

           WHAT THEY SAY.

   C. M. Agler--When I first came
to Clyde a number of people seemed
to know me right away, and a good 
many of them called me "Doc."  Now,
selling tickets and selling pills are
two different jobs entirely, but one
farmer living south of town presis-
ted in calling me "Doc" and giving
me a cheery smile whenever I hap-
pened to see him.  The other day we
met face to face, and once more came
the same old "Hello Doc," only this
time he added that he was coming to
my office to see me about getting
some medicine.  I said "Say, who do
you think I am, anyway?" and at that
he looked sort of sheepish and said,
"Gee, I thought you were Doc Baker."
   Now I have a dickens of a time
convincing Baker that I haven't col-
lected a lot of his pill money.
