FREAK POLITICAL LETTER

Dear Bill
It's so easy to slip free advertising
over on publishers now days that I've
gone into it as regular thing, 'spe-
cially since opposition has been sug-
gested in my baliwick.
The one thing we who send out
these letters must be very careful
about is not to say anything. I've be-
come really expert at that, you know,
Bill, and talk for hours for the ere
cord" and not commit myself to a
single thing.
Take the service men proposition,
for instance. Notice how neat
handle that? Same of them know, OF
course, that / haven't tried to do a
thing for them in the matter of legis-
lation-fact is I've voted against the
one and only measure that ever gave
them a ghost of a chance. But in my
letters, notice, | rave about the in

we pretended to support. Slick work
I calls it.

The most reasonable creature in
the world is the American business
man. When it comes to the matter of
profits he is a believer in reciprocity.
He comes pretty nearly being a prac-
teal believer in the Golden Rule. This
may sound like heresey, or even like
a joke, but it isn't. Think over the
worthwhile business men that you
know-falmers, merchants, bankers,
manl cacturers, no matter what their
line and perhaps your experience will
agree with ours. Of course there are
unfortunate people who believe they
can afford to cheat-profiteers, sub
shutters, tricksters. You discover
these in all businesses, even in ayr
culture. But in the main, do you not
find that the fellows who carry on III
a big way are honestly in favor Of the
square deal Farm Life.

Here is a way you can "pull''
cold air into your house:
Provide yourself with a plain
box with a lid. The box should
be one foot wide, eighteen inches
deep, and long enough to fit into
one Of your upstairs windows.
Bore twelve one-inch holes
through the outer wall of the
box, two inches from it's top,
and a similar dow of holes
through it's inner wall nine
inches from the top. It would
be convenience to have a little
drain in the bottom Of the box. :
Then, having simply fitted this
box in the upstairs window by
putting the sash down upon 1t,
proceed as follows:
Leave all the windows Of your
house freely open during the
night.
Early in the morning, by sum
rise If possible, open all interior
doors, pull down all the windows,
close all outside doors and keep
them closed except to go in and
out.

in the box in the upstairs win.

coming over the ice, and the used

tention to some Of the fundamen-
tai laws of nature.
The law with which you are
dealing in the present instance
is that heat expands and cold
contracts all gases. The atmos-
phere consists of gases, therefore
heat expands.
In other words, hot air is light
and cold air is heavy.
This law is demonstrated every
day in winter. when, as you know,
cold air comes IN through an
opening in or near the floor and
escapes through the window that
is lowereCl a little from the top.
If the tOrrid sun is heating the
air clear down to the earth and
Is also heating the surface of the
earth, it follows that none but
heated air can find it's way into
your house and that as a conse-
quence you must suffer from the
heat.

To the girl who absolutely knew
nothing of business the story
sounded plausible. She had heard
her father speak of men who
bought pieces of land one month
and sold them the next at twice
the sum they paid for them. She
remembered vaguely that some one
had bought property in the Bronx

money on it the next year-or was
it five years later?
