Tho Champion Tightwad


The Champion Tightwad was de-
vising ways and means to save a
penny. He had a bright idea. He
walked into a backyard garden where
a man was hoeing. and he pointed to
a small green baby cucumber on a
vine.
TIL give you a penny for that lit
tie cucumber" said the Champion
Tightwad. -
"All right" said the man, as he ac-
cepted the penny.
"And now 1 am going to ask a
small favor of you" said the Cham
pion Tighwad. "Will you grant it?'
Sure" replied the man. What is
it?'
! "Just let that cucumber stay on
the vine for month or two." said
the Champion Tightwad. "and l will
call and get it when 1t is as large as
1t will grow"

Francois van Campenhout, the tenor

posing an anthem which would serve
as @ national song for the revolution
lists. The result was la Braban-
conne," which is still Belgium's ma

may again be aroused by the singing
of the song, the German governors of
