DEAR PETER:

DEAR PETER:
Last night we have a neighbor-
hood Indignation meeting at my
house. The neighbors all come
in and recited their troubles and
asked for advice and assistance.
The trouble all comes about
cause peaches are ripe, or gettin'
ripe pretty fast. You know there
are several little dollhouse back
yard peach groves out this part of
Lee street, and the Bad Boys
seem to know just to a second
when every peach is ready to
pull and devour.
Now, Dusty Burke, one of cur
City Daddies, has a orchard that's
the "apple of his eye"-but l
guess in this instance it is the
peach Of his eye," cept Dusty
don't get any peaches.
Now he's all het up over the
devastation that comes in the
wake of some bad boys that's pill
fering his peaches. And he says
openly that SOMEBODY conner
get spanked bout those peaches.
Well we all offered advice and
remedies, till somebody spoke up
and says: "Now honest, was there
ever anything made or thought Of
that would of kept all you fellows
out Of ripe peach orchard when
you were boys?" And every last
one of those fellows looked gull
ty.
But that didn't help the fellows
what have peach orchards. Tney
want peaches or some boys scalp.
Gee, Dusty amt the only one of
them that's loosing peaches. But
one thing l noticed. Every one of
those fellows what was daddies of
growing boys looked guilty when
ever accusations was made. And
every one of 'em knew HIS boy
MIGHT be the one what's caught.
"Well the more they argued the
hotter they got, till one Of 'enl
said: ooh, come on. Let the
peaches go. PauPs got somethin'
out in the Little Old Ice box that
better'n peaches and cream. Lead
US to a COLD FROSTY BOTTLE
OF CHERO-COLA. When the
case runs low We'll call Gene Hill
at 405 and he'll send out another.
| got the habit, now. | keep a
case on ice all the time and while
my boys don't steal peaches, they"
sure do play the dickens with my
Chero-Cola. But it good for EN-
when they are hot and tired.
Your old buddy,
PAUL.
