THE OFFICE SOY WANTS TO KNOW
| Who'll attempt to deny that Dom
aldsonvil1e's s.fine'' town?
after all the fines imposed by the
district court?
/ II judged by this standard, it ism Il
one of the finest id the state?
T it's any wonder SO many people
think the enforcement Of the laws is
getting down to too afnen a point?
Whether PRO Bono PubIico, isn't
going at the problem wrong end fore
most?
What becomes of the time-honored
maxim that the best way to kill an OBJ
nozious law is to enforce it?
If it's so that the common form 0f
salutation among our business people
is GOOD morning; have you paid
your fine YETI?
Whether the weather bureau Thought
to dampen the ardor of the f1re-men
and the fair-women?
Ii the rainmakers supposed q little
flood like that would stop q fire pa
rade or church fair in Donaldson
vile:
Il anybody hereaWay couldn't have
told them that our fire laddies are
regular mud-1arks when it comes to
having a lark in the mud?
and that our fair ladies can have
a fair whether the weather is fair or
not?
| Who'd a thunk the sly little Volun-
teers could steal . march on the lusty
| Vigilants2
and carry OF the horn that the
Vidges were already blowing IN an
ltieipatfon?
II the Wrestle Of the V's wasn't one
of the prettiest contests at the fair9
and the outcome one of the biggest
snrprises2
# the voters OF the VS. for the yTol-
leys and the Vidges wouldn't have
voted earlier and oftener il they had
known what close race it was?
If .Tootsy" wouldn't have serapeds
up another hundred to Offset the ex-s
cess of KS rather than miss the chance
to toot that trumpet?
II the old Phoenix bird didn't fly
pretty well in such swift company?
Whether the Hooks ought not to
furnish afidavits that they also ran?
II everybody concerned isn't glad
that the fair realized enough TO wipe
out the church debt?
How much stock will be taken ii the
proposition that the payment OF the
debt will remove the provoeation for
future repetitions of the annual fair?
What it will be held for next year.
and the year after9
and the year after that?
and the subsequent years ad 1ibi-
tum?
IF you're onto The Boy $ Lating
Hnot, what's the matter with looking
in the back OF the dictionary, ike he
did,
Whether Sucre" oughtn't to do
little dictionary delving in the front
part of the book?
What he's driving at when he says
Billy may get a job in the sblueoen
factory?
Which kind OF ranch sb1neoe
factory is anyhow?
If it wouldn't stump the Go5er-Al-
lance layout to get that sort OF a by
product out of eornstalks or anything
else?
If it isn't apparent that Guv. Newt
thinks Donaldsonville is one Of the
biggest towns on the map?
and It's newspapers the most inn
portant in the state?
Else why does he ignore all the rest
of the Louisiana press and take SO
much notice of what our papers say
about him2
and feel SO tickled when one of tnem
puffs him ups
and % grieved when another blows
him ups
Why he didn't think to have bout.
with his newspaper critics during the
New Orleans campaign last yearY
When nearly every paper IN the city
and every other one IN the state was
1ambastine hImfore and afsfor bossIng
the bosses2
Why he has become SO touchy all Of
9 sudden about mixing in municipal
contests
# be really learned little wisdom
from experience
and kept his hands off New Iberia
because OF the seorehing his fingers
got IN New Orleans2
