A HINT TO GRINNELL HOUSEWIVES

There is always a bit of repairing to be done around the house at this season of the year, so married women will appreciate the following directions on "How to drive a nail without effort."

First--Ask your husband to do it. He will inquire: "Where's the hammer?"

Tell him it's where he left it the last time.

He will inquire "Where's that?"

Ask him how you should know.

He will reply, "You should."

Ask him if he married you so that you could keep track of hammers.

He will reply: "Darned if I know what I married you for."

State that you are in the same boat.

This will hit the nail on the head.

If necessary, repeat.
