Extra! Wilson
in $3.50 Hurry
to Push Boom

Comes now one woodrow wilson
not an ordinary come" u rather, as
it were, a rush, a hurry, a hustle
But to begin over again., comes OF
rushes now Woodrow Wilson, which
ever you will, and orders $1,000 pounds
of news print paper from Watertown.
N. Y.
Nothing unusual about that, you say.
provided the Wilson person is In the
newspaper business, or writing muck
raking articles OF otherwise engaged
in some of those nefarious pursuits
mentioned by the senator from Wis
consin lately. But this thing is not
so, said Woodrow Wilson, being a re-
tired educator earnestly engaged in
seeking the Democratic nomination
for President, and equally earnestly
or assiduousiy or otherwise employed
in letting the people know about it.
Again, let IT. be submitted that there
is no crime ordering $4,000 pounds
OF Jews print paper from WATERFOWL,
N. Y, for the express purpose of BOOM
ing a boom, another term for promul-
eating political hopes, aspirations and
qualifications for a job as president of
the coui .ry. But this Mr.. Wilson is
not of the decorous kind. AS men
toned before, he rushes, hurries. hus-
ties or makes haste by ordering said
$1,000 pounds of news print paper sent
to New York by express, evidently
fearing that the loss of about two
days in advancing the boom might be
fatal to those White House hopes.
A statistician has figured 1t out that
the $4,000 pounds OF news print paper
will make 1,872,000 newspaper pages,
that it cost s1.17O, that the mailing
will be S20,964 more and that the cost
Of sending the paper by freight would
have been about $50, while the luxury
of shipping it by express costs 500.
That Mr.. Wilson was in a $3.50 hurry
TO keep the boom adjoining would
then seem evident. Therefore. be it
submitted that aforesaid Mr.. Wilson
is a hustler, hurrier, speedy individual,
or else is some anxious about his
boom.

She and her husband were not 30
pleased when the bill came, for It

His problems are the problems OF

They cannot be settled by lectur-

They must be solved by the man
who lives with the farmer the year

sorrow, who can show him how to
avoid the pitfalls of the demagogue,

credulity.
Do you think there Is one man In

of fruit, vegetables and flowers and
the raising Of ordinary farm crops
will be undertaken.

be found for the products of such
farm. as statistics show that about
$4,000 is annually paid in the United
Kingdom for tame Tor "Ostend") i'm

expended each year for eggs. vege

The man who permits his opportu-

The man with a cheerful presence
