Billy Sunday Prays That The
Germans Starve.

Billy Sunday awoke Thursda,
hating the kaiser as much as
ever. even if Franz Won Rintelen
did refuse to shake hands with
him in the Tombs.
NO." said the alleged relative
of Billy Hohenzollern, "Tve heard
of your attacks on the kaiser anC
Germany, and | don't want t.

and bribe our officials you've got
us wrong. | consider it an honor
that you won't touch my hand
Then Billy went out and made
this prayer at the tabernacle:
"Oh, Jesus, don't let a singl,

by human bones. Damn a coun
try like that. | don't pray fo
them. The sooner we damn
them, the better off we are. -

Cooperation.

Now on my soul, said Farmer
Lagg, it beats the very nation to
hear some farmers blow and
brag about cooperation. There's
young Jim Jones and old Tom
Brown and quite bunch of
others who hang together, up or
down, the same as they were
brothers. They sell their milk
all in a lot, likewise their spuds
and peaches, and claim that this
plan helps a lot and that expert
ence teaches that farmers should
unite to sell the stuff they grow;
moreover, that they can join to
buy as well and soon be deep in

of eight acres for snakes alone,

sixty men and twelve women.
