I THE BEET HAD BEEN SHAVED. j Speaking at the Witney Flower Show, Mr. A. E. Burgess, a Surrey County Council judge, said long beet was a vege- table like a thermometer, and showed how a ma.n cultivated his land. If the beet had a long beard it showed that something was wrong. Some of the beet in the show, he ventured, had long whiskers early that morning, but had been given a clean shave. -—————

The editor of a popular London mag- azine sent for a contributor who had sub- mitted an unsolicited manuscript. I am glad to make your acquaintance, sir," said the editor enthusiastically. The story you sent us is exoellent. But why use a nom de plume? It will make you famous, in a way, to publish it over your own name." I'm not out for fame, it's money I want," said the author. "But you'll get just as much in either case." No, I won't. If I publish it over inv own name my wife will get the money."
