Felix McKusick is back in town.
AS soon as he learned of the proposed
trip to Fairmont, Felix pawned every
thing he possessed except his reputa-
ton which is below par and is some
thing he couldn't realize thirty cents
on, and purchasing reservation on
the blind baggage" he started for
Mankato, hoping TO reach here in
time to participate in all the festivi-
ties incident to the sojourn at the
water carnival. Felix has an extreme
fondness for water. He is like Louie
| Collins-in favor of the enforcement
of the eighteenth amendment-with
reservations. Felix had not long been
in the city when he received COM
munication from an individual who
signs himself Dub" After reading
the following you will agree with Felix
that the writer thereof named him
self correctly:

Some communication, Felix tells
the world.
Speaking of queens and their chap
erone, Felix Is ready to accept the
! job-and he guarantees that his wife
will not make any noise about 1t eth
err She always has said that X Felix
could get any other woman to
"fall'' for him she would Willingly and
gracefully apply for divorce on gen
liant and immaterial" She would cali
in Maggie Jiggs to testify as to his
general cussedness.

Felix says that Jiggs and sweet.
faced Maggie are going on the trip to
Fairmont, and Maggie will keep a
) watch on the old man, thus prevent
ing him from striking up an acquain-
lance with the Bathing Beauties"
Poor Jiggs He has written letter
to Felix requesting his help to get
him in some secluded spot when the
party reaches Fairmont. Felix has
promised to do what he can for Jiggs.
At that Felix Is not very strong on
making getaways. He likes to stick
around, especially when anyone is
buying grape juice. .

those going to Fairmont has sent an
8. o. S. cali to Felix for place on

passed up to the transportation com
mittee with power 70 act. Andy
