The Wild Onion school teacher and other odd notes
A humorous blend of local anecdotes and observations from rlogwallow News. A schoolteacher denounces arithmetic as a replacement for brains in offices, twins from Calf Ribs share mischief, Slim Pickens sports a too large derby, and a debate on marriage unfolds. A mix of jests, local gossip, a note about parcel post, jail lore, and a long riff on pants and pockets closes the column.
