POP GOES THE WEASEL
AND ALSO THE POP AS
PRICE POPS UP A DIME

All "soda-pop" dealers in Arlmore
have popped the pop up to ten cents
per pop, and the thirsty ones who
desire TO pop down bottle Of pop
will have TO pop up a thin dime, in
stead Of the buffalo nickle which
wa wont TO produce said pop.
The reason attributed for the pho.
nominal raise in the price Of pop is
given that the price Of sugar and
other ingredients have popped up in
price to such an extent that it was
impossible to produce pop at a nickle
and stay in tho pop business.
Therefore when customer desires
his fayoritc brand Of pop in tho 1u-
turc, il will avail naught for him to
get pop-cycd when the clerk asks

However, 50 long as the wind con
