Yesterday, If at any time, the
practical joker had license to turn his
talents loose to devise ways and means
to fool his friends, or possibly his
foes, and quite a number of local
jokesmiths tried their hands out in the
usual, approved. April LIST fashion.
While some persons were wise to the
calander and went prepared for the
worst, there were the usual number of
unsuspecting folks. who fell for the
jokes to the satisfaction of the jokers.
Most of the stunts of April LIST are of
an innocent nature, but some of them
are of the real fool nature that is al
most deserving of punishment at the
hands of the authorities.
