THE WEEKLY JAZZ


Colonel Richardson has directed
Major Wright. OF the Capitol police
department, TO have all the Keep off

Square. For why? Because the leg
islature will be in session this week.
and you got to let them walk on the
grass.
No, as we have said before, one does
not have to have whiskers to be a
member of the legislature.
IT costs more to have your boots
shined than II does to have your
shoes shined. and brass toe tips cost
still more.
Can't some member OF the legisla-
ture ind i crop of something that was
not a failure this year?
Brains used to get more money for
its product than brawn--for instance.
when Corbett licked Sullivan it was
a case OF brains against Drawn.
The Jazz was sold out last week. ten
minutes after 1t was placed on the news
stands. so you'd better always order
in advance. and see that your dealer
saves one FOR you.
We notice the cool weather Of the
past few days has had tendency to
lower the price OF Palm Beaches.
With the price OF sugar and coal
out OF sight, we suggest that we all
