Capt. Francis Folk, down on a
little island in the south Pacific,
wants his wife in Findly to send him
toothpicks! He wouldn’t object
either if she would tuck in a few
candy bars.
Gasoline, according to the captain,
is 75 cents a gallon, so he bought
himself a horse. And not long ago,
on a Sunday morning canter, the
horse made him walk home! Capt.
Folk had been jogging along for
about five miles when the horse
just laid down. He thought that
Whitey was dying, but, it developed,

Kalida, minus $180 and a railroad
