WHALE BIT OFF TOO MUCH
Cable Proved End of Spor-
tive Creature.

The direct descendant of the whale
that swallowed Jonah Tapped his huge
tail through the tranquil waters of the
Pacific, Off Mexico. He was hungry
hungry for new sensation. All the
thrills In that neck of the ocean were
on land. where the Mexicans were con-
quering Mexico. Idly he shot column
of water through his nose into the air.
What with the submarines out of the
sea, life had lost all zest for whale.
The submarine idea flashed through
his brain and tickled his ambergris.
What jolly lark, to be sure! He
would dive below and scare the sau-
Ger and octopus into fit. Down he
went.
Now, the All-American Cable COM
pany, which took over the Mexican
Telegraph company, hos some valu-
able rubber-wound copper wires ly-
ing on the bottom of the ocean Off
Mexican headlands. They met the
gaze Of our hero.
He seized the long thing in his
recorded any whale who ever attempt
ed to eat Pacific cable and got away
with It. Our hero was no exception.
He struggled. and finally wound him
self up In several thousand dollars
worth of interrupted messages. When
the cable repair ships hove to and
grappled for the cable to find out what
had interrupted communication be-
tween Vera Cruz and Valparaiso,
Chile. they dragged to the surface a
very dead whale, wound up in sew
eral hundred feet of hopelessly COM
plicated cable.
Chief Engineer James Mowat. who
went ashore, and lives In New York.
says this is the first whale he ever
heard of that tried to eat cable. And
other members of the crew of his ship
youch for the story.

FAIRNESS OF AMERICAN MEN.

One of the few things of which one
may he sure IN this country is that the
American man is Just. No matter what
the conditions. what the criticism
what the attack. the final verdict Is
generally just with the American man,
The arraignment OF another on any
kind of charge seldom carries weight
unless proof positive he presented,
The American man must be shown. He
may listen. but he win not condemn,
Happily for him and well for justice
he strikes the law Of average and is
governed by IL. He takes no snap
Judgment, but gives every one the ben
eft of the doubt, This is as il should
be.

Dear Mr.. Perkins -
September 8, 1920


am glad to give you full support in your contest for
the Congressional Nomination, in district think
you will be able to do things for at Washington as
you did at Trenton. I have lived in Bergen County
nearly 35 years and in all that time do not recall
single representative who has put the real essential
terests of this district at the front Bergen always
will be county of farms and suburban homes Sussex
and Warren agricultural counties The district u.s.
therefore, made up almost entirely of commuters and
farmers. It is not manufacturing district but our great
dominating problem is the production and distribution of
food. Our people, both farmers and commuters
held up by the middlemen and handlers Farmers are
being robbed through low prices and
bed through extoronate charges for the goods.
Every farmer in the district knows that he is being rob-
bed and every knows he being exploited It
is largely due to the feeble and cowardy actions of the
present administration at Washington We have never
been represented by any bid and strong enough
recognize and face this great issue and force it
nence No one expects any single to settle it but
the only of settlement lies in making Congress
derStand it.
I am going to support you because feel that you
understand this problem and that you will tackle with
out fear favor You did great things for our Schools
when put through the Railroad Tax Law with it's
distribution of funds to Public Schools. believe you will
find to force this criminal high cost of living prob
lem into the lime light and put in the way of settle
ment would earnestly advise every farmer who pro-
duces food and who must buy food give you
full support in this contest.
Yours very truly,
