Texas suffering from the thirst ano
they wish to inform their friends
here of their predicament through
the Evening Star. 1t is very SAD
case, and both are equal sufferers

the other three feet small, The let
ter, which was accompanied by pic
ture of the personages, and which is
herewith reproduced, is as follows:
San Angelo, Tex, March 8, 1914.
]. P. N:
Friend Joe-Just met an old Newark
friend, Major Criqui, who is playing
Jeff with the Mutt & JEFF Company"
and l am in charge of a road show
for the Edison Talking Pictures, so
we thought we would have our pic
lures taken, showing the different
sizes that come from Newark.
The Major is the first Newarker ]
have met since l have been on the
road Cover Year,, and we sure made
one another's mouths water talking
about the good things to drink and
eat that they serve at some of the
cafes in Newark. More than half of
Texas is dry and we are in very
dry part of it, and it is kind of hard
on us. How is my old friend Bill
Weingarth? Is he hitting the head
pin?
Best regards to all the boys at
home from the Major and Hoss.

While looking over your Sport
Topics l was delighted to see that
a few sensible fellows have taken
time to criticize IS. o. q Co." 1t
surely is about time. In fact, their
letters are really becoming unbear-
able The majority of us do not
care to read such stuff. If they must
write to put themselves before the
public, why don't they advertise in
one of their own newspapers. The
gentleman who compared them with
the hash is all right. He hit the nail
on the head.

men. There are always few copies
of your paper in our clubrooms, and
we take great interest in your col

ment among the members it is re-
ferred to you, and we always abide
by your decision. In fact, we think

J. P. N:
Since l last wrote you IS. o. & Co
have came forward with another let

in their opinion, a boxer is one who

only upon his punch to win. Won

say it is their opinion, just as though
they had discovered something. They
make a great play about Italian ath-
breath they say we would like to
hear less about Italy. That is what
YOU want, IS. o. & Co." What we
want is less from you.

Which would you take UP of the fol-

Which of the above mentioned do you

1t is too tough a guess for me, al

get something. even if it was only a
beating.
