Story of Balky Horse
Makes ME think of story about
fellow by the name of John Smith who
sold his brother, Bill, balky horse
for hundred dollars, but did not tell
him anything about the horse. After
Bill got the horse home he found out
it was no good so he took it back to
his brother and asked him if he knew
the horse was balky, John replied,
Eyes" Bill then asked John why he
didn't tell him when he bought the
horse. John replied, that the fellow
he bought the horse from did not tell
him and he thought maybe it was
secret"

that some day we will find we have

Fundamentally Wrong.
Fundamentally it is. wrong in its
construction. We represent we are

democracy and at the same time help

undcmocratic. Our President says the
only league he is in favor of is one

become members but they can't have
any power unless the five nations per

Taft in Bad.
Another funny thing that is anu
