A string of brief jokes and anecdotes unfolds from a senior versus freshman clash to a farmer’s scarecrow fashion, a hotel guest’s lunch gripes, and a dog dinner misadventure. A late night axle grease gag, a spoiled mushroom sauce tale, a tax dispute overcharge, and a lawyer’s office banter round out this slice of small town humor.
Summer fires escalate due to dry conditions and higher activity. Fire safety urges precautions as heat, winds, and fireworks increase the risk of rapid spread and property loss.

Rev G T Gibbons of the Fredonia Methodist circuit says skin games can be practiced on anyone including churchmen.

The piece also lists various graduates and dignitaries from Baylor and Schreiner institutes, and notes Texas Wildlife Federation’s efforts to promote a college course on game and fish management in Texas.
The Executive Board of the Concho Valley Council will hold its regular monthly meeting June — visiting Scouts at Camp Louis Farr and transacting council business.
