The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-10-18

ON behalf of Friend Bill the Op. and Friend
Bill the Foreman OF the composing ROOM we
serve notice on Oatmeal that more PONIES
or such intricate typographical arrangement
will be printed in this colyum. We assume
the twisted tipping of the lines was intentional
but if the typewriter is at fault we suggest that
Oatmeal have it adjusted before Offering an
other contribution.
Believe This or Not, As You Like

Dewart, Pa, Oct 14.-Charles Reich
enbach was proud of his barrel of cider,
which he kept in his barn. He was
| equally proud of his flock of turkeys
which roamed the farm. The barrel
sprung leak and the cider ran out over
stock of rye grain The turkeys found
the grain and Mrs Reichenbach found
the turkeys dead to the world. She de-
cfded to salvage the feathers. The tur-
keys were plucked "dry" but fnterment
of the nude carcasses was delayed. On
the following day the Reichenbachs were
astonshed to behold the entire flock trot-
ting about with nothing on. Mrs. Reich
enbach and the daughters have made
blankets for the trotters.
WE suspect the author of the stewed tur-
key story had just read the old poem concern
ing the ducks who had a similar experience
E F., who sent US the clipping, wonders
If you would be interested in knowing that Mr.
Egerman is in the poultry and egg business in
Pittsburgh, Pa, while Mr. Sauer sells lemons
and oranges in the same city.
C0ISES-DEEP COISES!!
We're writing this in breathless haste
And more concerned with volume
Than quality, cause we can't waste
Much time on this here cofyum
We had some stuff In type today
That scintillated brightly;
1t came frem Cal-ifor-ni-ay,
II we remainder rightly.
But twas too long, the makeup said,
And SO we had to kill it
The colyums short-we scratch our head
For something else to fill it
Our old typewriter we have fayed
That we may feed this Pillar,
And thanks to it we've made the grade
This here's the needed filler!
