prize. Not much: he is disciple of the
| square deal" When your 5ingies came
along through the agency of your genial
Uncle Samuel. Tommy examined every
one of them carefully. Then he turned
them over to the many advertisers.
| In fact, Tommy Tucker sometimes fee Is
| that he is the luckiest man OF EN- all to
have to read all of your jlngles as they
| come in from day to day He gets all
kinds of ideas from the thousands of Star
readers in all parts of the great Capital
city and from beyond.
This week the jingles have come in with
a rush. They cannot come too fast for
Tommy. even though he has to sit up
| half of the night to read them. Then the
next day comes and again jingles arrive
by the hundreds.
He reads and reads and reads, and
sometimes he laughs and laughs and
laughs. You have no idea the funny
things that Tommy Tucker sees from
| time to time in the jingles and letters that
come in.
So in these times-the good Tnanksgiv-
ing days-when Washington folk are
thankful for the prosperity vouchsa fed
to them, and in sight of the merry Xmas
times, when the spirit of good cheer is
happy. Tommy thanks you for your pa
| tronage and hopes to see you another
year.
