attaches his feeding apparatus to the nearest artery. Besides beine a driller, the tick is a plumber. He has been known to do carpenter work, invading certain heads. The tick seldom works on the head of his victim, there being too many hara neaded people in the world. Under the NRA code the tick only works fourteen hours a day, working while you sleep or sit down.

Tick bearers can disconcert their visitors by keeping in motion as much as possible, which isn't as easy as it sounds this kind of weather. Ticks get in their best work in the sunnier because most people arc in a state of relaxation. A full frown tick wUl not nse more than a pint of blood a day. He doesn't like thunder storms. And that makes this a blood and thunder story.

One of the boys just went ghastly pale when he found out that an adult tick has eight legs no more, no less. Baby ticks have six. TICKS do not believe in race suicide. They have guinea pigs outclassed for multiplicity. The average family consists of two adults and twelve children.

The residence they have taken in your carcass is enlarged to accommodate the new arrivals. That's what doesn't feel so good. New plumbing has to be installed for each little tick. Of course baby ticks don't drink more than half as much as the adults. Sometimes the baby ticks are restless and those funny (city ed: "Who said sensations are occasioned by Papa Tick walking up and down with the baby.

Ticks are very devoted to their children and also to tickling, we have just been reliably informed by a tick Ticks sometimes wear out their welcome. Usually ticks which take up their residence at this time of year come out with the Ground Hog on February 2. that is if the Ground Hog sees his shadow. If the Ground Hog has ticks he comes out before his special day according to George W. Hensel, hibernating governor of the Slumbering Ground Hog Lodge of Quarryville, who added: "This seldom happens because no self respectlnf Ground Hof will hare anything to do with ticks." Of course there are times when the ticks have something to cp with them.

Ordinary people have ticks; extraordinary, arachnids. Both operate the same because they are the same, just the difference between low and high sounding names i. e. undertakers and morticians. And that reminds.

Ticks are seldom fatal. There are various cures for ticks. KE sure way is to annoint the body with carbon oil, strike a II match and jump into the nearest creek. If a creek isnt handy, use a river. The idea is to burn out the ticks just before you hit the water.

Of course if your timing is poor, there'll be another obituary for some tick infested reporter to write. It is also possible to use persuasion. Coax the tick out in the open here little tick, nice little tick and when he pops out, knock hell out of him. There's some in him. A raspberry can be used for bait.

Then you can give the tick a razz berry, loud and raucous. Another way is to get some one to scare the daylights out of you. Goose pimples will sprout up and the ticks will have all the sensations of an earthquake. Women and children first. SOME daring souls have been known to take a good assortment of spiriti frumenti.

Just mix whiskey, brandy, gin and beer in a quart measure. Stir up and serve in a frosted glass. Once a tick gets an ounce or so of that he crumples like a swatted fly. He'll be swatted and so will you. And when you come out of the fog, the ticks will be replaced by the hies which is another story.

Just now the boys have interviewed Dr. John Park, the affable druggist and First Ward Republican leader. His panacea is now at work. Reports later. Meanwhile we give you the tick's national anthem, typed by Rosebud.

"Tickey tickey Tambo No so Rambo Arey Arey Buskey, National Pom Pom." If that means anything we're crazy.

Miss Storm told State Police after the shooting yesterday, that she and Newman bought a gasoline service station in Sterrett's Gap five years ago, and that Newman has sold his interest to her but refuses to move out. Newman is alleged to have crept close to the parked automobile in which Miss Storm and several friends were enjoying a picnic lunch and fired point blank at the woman with a .32 caliber revolver through on open window of the auto after a heated argument. Screaming threats of committing suicide, he fled to the nearby tavern.

where police later found him. He had apparently made no attempt upon his own life. Miss Storm, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Sauble, also of Westminster, motored to the neigh borhood of the tavern in the hope of finding a prospective tenant.

ALL the ticks aren't in the clock if you take the words of the boys of the editorial room who were on a picnic. And now the ticks are on them or in them or something. The tick bearers have just been comparing notes and checking on who has the most ticks.

Frances Hodson Burnett, the author, made the dramatic version of the play. From the Big Scrap Book The operation of the tick is very simple.

Bruce Taylor, counsel for the hospital, answered the exceptions with the assertion that not only the pledge, but also the Interest on the $6000, is due. Moyer withdrew his exceptions today.
