Gus Kaessmacher in the De Soto
Press: "Oh, Mr.. Editor, what will
do9 I need your assistance to help
me through. For really I'm in = of
a fix. And sure as you're born, I've
got in mix: I've jumped from the
frying pan, into the fire. Because 13,
to my last weeks offer aspire. For 13
dear girlies want to go to the show,
So how'll l manage, oh please let me
know. Thirteen's unlucky and Fri
day they've picked, Say, Mr.. Editor.
I've surely been trickedi How can
tell Camp, the one that I meant, I
can't take them all, I'm too badly
beat: My trousers are ripped, my
rent is behind. Take the whole 13 l
wouldn't. To take the whole 13, /
wouldn't mind, But l spent all my
money, my taxes to pay, While pay
day seems off, long, long way. Oh
say, Mr.. Editor, I've got scheme,
Came all of a sudden, guess it's a
dream, -I'll get the 13, I'll do 'em right,
When Iget to the door, I'll tell 'em
goodnight"
Pennington News: "Rolla Cozsan,
secretary of the Pennington Chamber
of Commerce, this week returned to
the subscribers the money they had
donated for use in making an opening
in the Silver Dam obstruction across
the st. Francis river. The money
was contributed with the understand
ing that the obstruction would be re-
moved by March 1st The Game and
Fish Department are certainly not
doing their duty in regard to this
matter. We believe in obeying the
law. Every man who hunts and Ashes
ought to take out license-ought to
be glad to do so-but it is just as un-
lawful for the Game and Fish Depart
ment to permit distractions to re-
main in the streams as it is for per-
SON to hunt or fish without license
There can be no just denial of this
fact. Both are wrong and they ought
not to be. Clear out or open up this
obstruction so that the fish can past
upstream. Then let there be one
grand rush for hunting and fishing
licenses.n
