W ~, .t,,J

tor of The Bumblee Bee, was called
to the stand.
"You are the editor of The Bum
bic Bee and, as such, famous all over
the world and in position to know
about the pencil situation" said At
torney Mossgreen.
Il know the pencil situation, hav-
ing used pencils all my life," re-
piled Mr.. Singer with dignity.
And what is the situation in
Omaha regarding lead pencils"
asked the attorney.
Il have sources of information
through which | have learned that
there are large stocks of lead pen
ellis in stationery and department
stores and Offices" said Mr..
Singer. The Omaha Printing Co.
has several gross; 'Megeath Sta
tionery company, number OF
gross; Klopp & Bartlett, numerous
gross. In great many Offices there
are stocks OF pencils ranging from
three to two Dozen"
The investigators gasped at the
startlingness of Mr.. SINGERS reve-
lations.
you have given US enough infor-
nation to justify this probe even If
we didn't find out another thing"
said Attorney Mossgreen.
Il only did my duty said Mr..
Singer.
The distinguished editor stepped
down and was surrounded immedi-
ately by crowd of, friends and 9TH
ers who wished to shake his hand.
One aged woman told Mr.. Singer
that she is paying 3 cents for a pen
Gil which she used to buy for cent.
She is compelled to pay this price
to get pencils with which to check
up on washing, as she makes her
living by laundry work.
Mr.. Singer was deeply touched.
Amazing Revelations.
The next witness called was
Charles Boggs who has conducted
a small stationery store here for
many years.
How many pencils have you in
stock?" demanded the attorney.
Il counted up and find about five
Dozen" said Mr., Boggs.
And how many did you have in
stock at this time last year? Now
think carefully" warned the attor-
ney.
Il had just about the same" said
Mr.. Boggs. Il always keep my
stock about the same"
We'll, haven't you ordered any
more pencils:"
Eyes, the salesman was in yester-
day and l ordered some"
"Ah, l thought I'd get the truth
if just kept on long enough. Now,
Mr.. Boggs, how many lead pencils
did you order yesterday"
"A dozen and half"
"Ah. And adding those to the
five dozen you had last year will
give you a stock of six and a half
dozen. Gentlemen l call your at
tention to the fact that this man is
carrying stock so per cent larger
than he carried last year"
Tnefficiener Binger arose at this
point.
The disclosures of this investi-
CATION are so startling that | feel
we should now adjourn this hear
ing until the feelings of the people
have a chance to cool. Evidences
of profiteering and boarding are apt
to stir up the people and we don't
want riots here"
After expressing thanks TO The
Bundle Bee for its great service to
the city and nation and humanity in
the probe of the lead pencil situa-
ton, the meeting was adjourned in
definitely.
The Bundle Bee is now looking
into alleged boarding of rubber
bands and erasers and may start a
probe of this situation soon.

J. B. Gossard was passenger
to Omaha Friday morning, and
thereby hangs tale. Missing
the trail, he cranks up the "li'l
Of Ford" and beats the train to
Wausa by margin of two
hours and a quarter. GOING

In the meantime, while J. B.
was driving like Sam Hill to
head the train off at Wausa, it
backed up to Bloomfield and
was waiting for Jeff. 1t took
the United States Railroad Ad-
ministration two hours to dis
cover that J. B. had beat them
to Wausa and was waiting for
them.

After all, this is one of the few
satisfactory raises that we hear
about, isn't it? II there is man that
would raise protest to such raise
we haven't been able TO raise him.
Here are few more of the III
raise yo's' that are now in current
usage:
A Few Raises.
Said the BARRIERS: Well raise you
on shaves an other things.
Protc sted the male population:
Then we'll raise beard
Shouted the Omaha police morals
squad: Wen raise HE'LL
Declared the Bolsheviks: Well
raze the world.
Asserted the profiteers: Well
raise the prices.
Expostulated the public: Well
raise protest.
Asserted the railroad men: We
want a raise.
Agreed MacAdoo: Alright, we'll
raise the rates.
And if inanimate objects could
speak the sun would say: III rays
the earth. and the tide would say:
I'll raise the earth
Yes, with all these raises going
on its kinda hard to figure out just
where the joker lies. but it doesn't
seem to lie with the public.

The suit filed in the United States
district court carries with II the as
suranCe that the constitutionality
OF the prohibition clause OF the aBri-
cultural appropriation act OF No
vemher 81, 1918. viii be thoroughly
tested It is time that the people OF
this country find out where they
stand In the matter. Among millions
OF law-abiding persons the strong
conviction prevails that only by sharp
practice and double dealing was the
present situation created. III they
have any rights loft, IT Is fact
worth knowing II they have lust
grievance 1t should be promptly
rcdressed,
The prohibition provision was put
through congress under false pre-
lenses as a war emergency measure
Al the time the war was literally over
and the armistice signed The Amer
ican neopIe had never taken prohihi-
ton seriously They had never looked
on 1t as possible. for. their wishes
had never been consulted. IL was
nut through on the sly. by the trick
OF lacking rider on an appropria-
tion bit
There never was any doubt OF the
readiness of the people To assent 10
any sacrifices required OF them IN
order to win the war. They were
prepared to deny themselves food or
drink or any nccessaries when oc-
casion demanded The prohibi-
tionists reasoned that they could take
advantage of this spirit 10 carry
through their scheme and even atter
the armisticc WAS signed ana thr
emergency was over beyond an
chance OF returning they persisted
In their game OF deception.
The war prohibition clause was
conceived in bad faith and ais-
hones,v It was written into the
statutes through a kind OF fraud not
10 be forgiven, II was foisted upon
the country through plain hypocrisy
masking as loyalty In time or war
when exposed. the authors OF inc
scheme hoasted " their cunning IN
