From Serbia to Dublin Bay;

Unless We furnish them with bread

And shear off sixteen of their heads;

And who is who, we cannot guess;
There is a movement in old Rome
Because Orland has come home;

We hope those boObs will quickly die ;

To lick old King Emmanuel's band;

Or sell them for billion beans?
Three cheers for the Victory Loan!
Don't be stingy-dig a bone.
The Armenians must have quick relief
In cheese and sugar and corn beef
The eX-kaiser is sick in bed
With a vacuum in his head:
The Reds in our own country rise.
And strike for cheaper socks and ties;

beware AUTO DEALER WHO
TRADES HIS HEAD OFF"

The customer paid less cash for the
new car than would have been re-
quired for either of the others. But
in at least two cases he would have
gotten a real 81. 500 car The car he
actually bought was a 1900 automo-
bile masquerading as a $500 ma
chine.
Yet no salesman for either of the
two concerns could convince the buyer
OF the facts in the case. All he could
see was the $500 for his old car. He
thought he had made a smart deal
when he sold his second hand ma
chine high.
But there are even greater discrep-
ancies than this in some deals. A
man 1 know of took a car three years
old to several dealers in f1igh-priced
machines. most of them properly high
priced. The offers he got ranged from
$500 up to $1,000. which surely rep
resents some difference of opinion. if
you want to call it that.
