CHEER UP!
According to expert testimony if the prosperity peak
of 1929 is attained again there will be only seven million
still out of jobs
Seems most people have got the bookworm in the head
11ANCING AROUND
-
The common people have been hanging around for a
long time says Carl Sandburg
Right Carl and so have the uncommon people who tried
to cut the ropes on which they hung and hang
Anyhow where would Christmas be if it hadn't been
for the Jews?
AND THAT'S NO JOSHING
Some people don't believe it possible that Joshua's
brass band blew down the walls of Jericho But we've
heard jazz bands that could blow down the Chinese wall
and if walls have ears get the unanimous vote of thanks
of the debris
"He lost his entire fortune" Bah if that's all he had
he was always a pauper
THE WHOLE STORY
"This great democracy" said Lord Halifax to Vis-
count Hoare" must be 'preserved even if we have to go in
cahoots with such lowbrow persons as Hitler and Musso-
lini" "Just so" rejoined the Viscount "Cod save the King
if we don't"
Maybe lousy is right but can you imagine a louse starv-
ing oa a fathead who believes louse combs interfere with
private initiative?

As I said everybody approved and registered r'aring
to go The only complaints we got so far are charges that
we stole the plan from the NVIiter of the missive Seems
there must be quite a sprinkling among you who had thought
out the same plan and even had put it in writing
Rut bless your hearts this is ex:telly as it should J
I told you right off the bat that it wasn't my plan or 17uddy's
plan or our plan but a composite plan composed by the best
minds of the ages including our Own Of course
You know fellows and fellowins there is nothing 114
dumber and more conceited than for a body digging some
hi-faluting ringer out of his consciousness rithout consider-
ing the workmen w'ho must make the bells and finally put
the bell on the cat It's almost like cultivating seed in a hot
bed and expecting it to sow itself on plate glass windows and
concrete roads with the hope something will grow out of it
In our case it seems we already have a good seed-bed
willing sowers and quite a few who have done a gcod deal
of cultivating on their own hook So on with the job of
turning this cock-eyed world right side up
