Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-08-14

It takes ali kin of people TO make
world. Maybe you think it su !.
Perchance YOU couit- point out scv-
eral warped specimens OF humaa j>e
who would do this mortal coil ia
vor by jumping If the dock some
night with a large dornick tied around
their brisl1et. Or you know Of sew
eral dudes who are using up lot Of
good food by staying around. but then
who are you TO judge? Maybe there
is some distant relative of Did Cap
Kidd s who lives in the same block as
you who would rel sh the opportunity
# puiverizing your think tank some
brunette evening with a section Of 2
rch gas pipe. with a splicing filling Of
oncrete. According TO his viewnoint
on are as useful as q fifth ace il the
eek, and mortuary statistics prove
eyond the shadow Of a doubt thar
nth aces are not good form
All # which goes TO prove my con-
tention that il takes all kinds Of peo-
pie to make 4 world This old ter
restrial sphere is a lot ike a fivver,
it takes a lot OF warrior s parts to make
it run, including cranks. What good
is fivver without q crank. and along
the same line. what gooG is this world
without few crarks. There surely is
plenty Of nuts. 50 why not cranks.
Ola Isaac Watt was a crank and
the result was locomotive run by
steam Bob Fulton was called a
crank, also a nut. but if it wasn't for
old Bobby there wouldn't be much do
ing in the transport line at the present
time You know a lot Of them so why
Increase the bill for printers ink by
enumerating them here. Any how this
thesis has nothing . DO with crsnks
but is merely an opening 10 e fable,
nd who ever saw a fable without an
openilg2 A fable without an opening
would be ike q can OF corned beef
without an opening. all the meat would
be inside.
After proving so conclusively that 1t
takes all kinds Of people TO make a
world. we now venture the statement
that it takes all kinds of men to make
an army. AS TO the cranks. you can
Judge for yourself. and as TO there
being nuts in the army. who ever heard
of an army without a colonel. which
as you know is some part Of a nut.
There is one or two kinds Of folks.

would undoubtedly -orry sling with,
