Trilogy

In Mobile, the Mobile Register suggested a slogan for National Cotton Week: SEE NO WEEVIL, HEAR NO WEEVIL, SPEAK NO WEEVIL.

Nostalgia

In Chicago, Stanley Janseki, 35, onetime farmer, missed his farm and livestock, went to the stockyards to see the cows, started to milk one, was arrested, said to the judge: "I just wanted to see if I could still milk a cow."

Aces

In Douglaston, L. I., at the 155-yd. 15th hole of North Hills Golf Club, C. X. Bieth smacked a mashie shot, watched his ball plop into the cup for a hole-in-one. Leaving the green C. X. Bieth heard a shout. J. H. Kracke, playing in the foursome behind, had smacked a No. 3 iron shot, also holed-in-one.

Zombies

In Washington, D. C. "Slim" Jones, holder of the world's record for being buried alive (38 days), turned over in his coffin, picked up his telephone, asked for long distance, chatted with Ray Richards, buried alive near a hot dog stand in Denville, N. J. Jones told Richards that his grave was in the bed of a dried-up stream, that heavy rains threatened to wash him out, that he intended to stay underground 40 days if he could. Richards told Jones that bandits came to his grave, tried to steal the day's cash receipts, threw burning matches down his air tube, singed his pillows.
