There is more or less prominent in

And flirt with the mermaids--

WE are not disposed to believe that
the presidents vacation was harder
than the average, though his energies
were expended TO more purpose. The
average VacatiOnist returns. like the
galley slave, worn and wearied, TO his
task. His outing is the hardest two
weeks of the year. He has slept I'm
poor beds, eaten doubtful food and
suffered the inconveniences of COM
munity life. Yet Solomon in all his
hues with which the delights of an
outing are painted
THE difference between the presi-
dents outing and the average lies in
the imagination In their practical
aspects they are not unlike.
IF it were not for the war in Eu-
rope what a good time we would be
having. AS Chip Chaplin would say,
not wave of trouble would roll
across our peaceful breast. The rum
pus i'm Mexico would be only a little
irritant, or serve TO show by cOmpari-
son how fortunate we are as citizens
OF a sane. peace-loving country. Our
crops are abundant, our money is
worth 100 cents on the dollar at home
and more in some foreign lands. Our
friendship is sought by all nations and
we are REGARDED as the pinch hitter
when it comes to feeding the world.
Let's give another round for the flag
that made us free.
