The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1919-11-21

Booze is still easy to get-in your
dreams.
Coin another word. Strike" has
been worn to afrazzle.
Tomorrow is the lucky day of some
people. 1t never comes.
Take life as 1t comes and keep NOV
ing. 1t will not hustle for you.
Laugh, and the world laughs with
you, Weep and 1t kicks you out.
About the best way to rio yourself
of an unwelcome income tax is to pay
1t.
When your husband gets peeved
let him alone. He expects to be cod
died.
The wise man greets his friend
with a smile. The fool gives him a
grunt.
When husband and wife disagree
the lawyer begins to figure his divi-
dends.
Ar~istocratic bootlegg gers object TO
the name. They prefer not to be
recognized at all.
Honest labor Is an abomination to
the bum. That, however, Is the
reason he Is a bum.
Another national calamity threat
ems. The thanksgiving turkey Is be-
coming restless and may go on strike
Booze is nosing around at $4,000 a
gallon, with millions Of seekers and
mighty few finders. Some lid, that.
Present conditions indicate that
industrial chaos Is headed our way,
and the fellow who can't get from
under may go under.
There's at least n consolation In
these days Of sky prices. When your
money gives out the protiteer Is too
proud to wear your shirt.
Each day we look e~xpectantly for
another Illuminating remark from
the governor Of North Carolina to

Mr.. Wilson has achieved at least
one distinction. He is the only mi
who has ever presidented here and in
a foreign country at the same time.
1t Is no longer stylish for a rich Am
erican girl to marry a foreign noble
man. European titles are about the
only things on eaeth that have not
advanced in price.
Having saved Europe from itself,
America will again come to the front
and save it feom starvation. They
always come to the fellow who has
and is willing to give.
In his golden dreams the optomist
achieves fortunes which never ma
terialize, while the pessamist converts
into a shadow Of gloom the brightest
rays of the sun. The wise mar walks
between.
Apparently. however, that much
heralded drive against the high cost
Of living is still in the heralding
stage. More action and less bluf1ing
would be welcomed by the man who
pays the freight.
Professional agitators are a menace
to democracy, and democracy Is the
foundation stone OF every free and
self-governed people. The remedy is
obvious, II we would preserve this
country from the fate OF Russia.
American millionaires make their
money Ia this country and blow It III
over In Europe. European aristocrats
pauperiEe themselves at home and
marry American money to recuperate
The pauper gets something for moth
ing, and the ~plutocrat gets nothing
for something.
