Meet Uncle John, Folks

OF the few men in America today,
who are writing human interest,
honey poetry, DR.. John J. Gaines is
excelled by none. Quantity musical,
full of the human tone, disdainful of
the "highbrow'', they strike the re-
sponsive chord that is so charming to
the ears of the great mass of Ameri-
can people today.
This is the man and this is the
poetry that has been engaged to in
terest and entertain our readers thru
the Autocaster service, in which this
newspaper holds an exclusive fran
chise. We will, therefore, publish a
poem, or prose poem by DR.. Gaines
regularly during the next year. Watch
for it.
DR.. Gaines (''Uncle John") resides
and thrives at Excelsior Springs, Mo.
which he describes as "bein' as nigh
to the center Of the earth as you can
drive a stake.
Unlike other well-known newspa-
per poets, DR.. Gaines is country made
country bred and continues in the
country town life. Our readers will
soon realize that he is one of them
a plain American citizen.

enjoyable time was spent by all and
they left wishing him many such
