Hard To Classify

The press spoke of a post-hole boring nachine, the invention of an Ann Ar)or man. The Courier states that it ores the hole in the post, not in the ground and adds that is is "a holey ter ror." Ah.no; it is not a post-hole borer, but a post hole-borer. It inakes a difference liow you punctuate. A reporter in his account of a religious service wrote: „One of the brethen hdving gone to sea, his wife requested the prayers of the congregation ; but in print the wife's feelings and the sense of the parasiaph were hurt by the appearance of the comma after" " wife " instead of " sea."- Adrián Press. And still that machine is not in its right class. It is a hole borer but not a post hole-borer. The hole that it bores is in the rail somewhere. But that doesu't make much difference. It bores the hole with rapid rapidity so to speak, and is turning dncats into the pockets of its inventor. That's the main thing.
