er and his running mates,
Nj \ Mutt and Mr.. Little
vi, are forming the Pecan Club,
sn organization which win have an
unlimited membership, the Sporting
Editor ordered me TO grab an in
tevview with the famous trio.
I located them on the Dixie Flyer
Limited en- route for Chicago. I
found Bud in the dining car. He
was biting the setting out of an
ear of corn.
How do you do. Mr.. Fisher?'
I ventured by way Of introduction
I've been sent to interview you by
the"
can the preliminaries and come
O. the apex" said Mr. Fisher In
what respect can I enlighten you?"
Il came to interview you on the
Pecan Club and"
l got no further. for Bud threw
the spell act into the high and gave
nc the following earful:
Pecan Club! Get it? Pecan Club!
All the members must be nuts. You,
think, are eligible, and I make
you a member right off the reel.
This club is TO become a national
organization, and when I get II full
~ established we will make the
membership of the Elks and Ma
sons combined look like little ca
sine.
we are called upon to face a
great ua.ional calamity these days.
You don't seem to understand,
eh?"
Well, III explain.
why, the new fad Of wearing the
bow Of the hatband in the back!
can't you realize what this may
lead to? These habits never grow
less, but greater. With the bow
on the hat in the rear, what isttO
prevent men from buttoning their
coats up the back, or putting their
shoes on backward?
And with their shoes on wrong
side front why stop? They might
start walking backward and block
traffic. Can YOU imagine meeting
"a friend with his clothes on wrong
side front and trying to say Hell
To-, 10 him? You wouldn't know
whether he was bald behind or
"a
face.
Then again, a man would have
to sit down backward to keep from
mussins lis clothes. And again.
if we start dressing backward why
stop at that? All taxicabs might
start running backward and bump
into the place they were coins 40
instead of going to the place -
just left.
Then again, a man would have
TO order his meals backward to
keep up with his hat He would
say:
Waiter, bring me cordial a
black coffee Cor cafe noir, as they
say in Milwaukee,. ice cream, some
turkey, caviar, some soup, a cock
tai! and a napkin"
Then, again, ne would have to
call a taxi TO go home before he
went downtown Can you imagine
man trying 10 sober up before ne
got his drink?
Can't you see how important
this great national problem is and
10 what dire results It might lead
the wearing Of the bow on the back
Of the hatbaud?
Why, think of it, You'd have TO
buy a coffin before you were born,
and how many children at birth
have the price Of a casket2 We
couldn't afford to live and wouldn't
have the price to die They'd have
us coming ana goiue.
we might rs wei. iuaugurate "A
President The day lie goes out i'll
stead Of he day he goes in. In fact.
we might De born 50 years old ana
die at the age of nothing.
What good is the Panama Ca
nal, recall Of judges. or suffrage for
women compared to this national
problem? Of what use is the
canal if we have to 60 through st
backward? What good is the recall
Of judges If we have TO set oul
watches running Backward What's
the use of national defense if we
have to leave on a train for Allan
ia and land in Boston? Why buy
new cigars if we can smoke the old
ones backward and make them Ions
again?
If so, why not divorce your wife
before you marry her and save all
mony? To make a long story short.
why not can our clothes entirely
