WHO PULLED THE BADGER?

Whenever there is q badger tt
pull, be sure to bet on either the
dog or the badger. It doesn't make
much difference whose dog 1t Is
but what the betting odds are. The
badger is always bigger than the
one In the last scrap. If one Of
them isn't there to win, the Other
is the dog.
To pull a badger is dangerous fol
you may get bit by the dog. II

After the chain moves, no one has

There should be an admittance
fee for each witness Of the fight;
but the one who pulls the badger
ought to pay for part Of 1t. He
gets all the applause which lasts
until the next badger is pulled. The
proceeds derived from the fight
may be applied on galvanized pipe
and leather gloves for the next en-
tree who reserves seat on the bar

The only difference between . a
Badger Pull and a dog is zero. The
humane society ought to pass q
law against pulling a badger for II

two legged crook, who with other
low brows manages to lose all the
money he never had In order to
misinform the one who pulls the
badger. After the fight all money
passes back again. TO bet on the
badger makes the dog a good SOLO

curtain.

the future when another Thumb

Don't Put Stickers
On Address Side Of
Christmas Packages

People who place gaily colored
stickers on the address side of their
Christmas packages previous to
mailing may not be aware of it but
they are adding considerably to the
burdens being borne by the hard
worked post office employees just
at this time.
For such additions are not al
lowed and must be removed before
the package bearing them can pro-
ceed to its destination. Place all
such stickers on the reverse side OF
the parcel and all will be well, but
not on the address side.
And do not place suckers on par
GELS going to foreign countries, for
the chances are that such will find
their way to the dead letter office.
And, also, parcels. are coming in
all sealed up tight.
This is another fatal error for a
sealed parcel calls for first class
postage-the same as letter.

The British government was charged
with "laxity, inefhciency, tncompetency
and criminal neglect" in failing to pre-
vent the organization and arming OF the
Arab mobS' in further resolutions
adopted by the meeting.

Senator King voiced his conviction
that Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon-

and replace officials who were vacillat-
ing or guilty of misconduct"
A member of the Senate foreign rela-
lions committee, Senator King declared:
There were not the proper steps taken
to protect the population, including
American citizens, who were rightfully
in Palestine" He called upon the Amer
lean Government to see that such
atrocities and butcheries shall never
again occur in Palestine. The American
Government, he insisted. is as much
justified in insisting upon this as any
other country in the world. The repre-
sensations must be made to Great Brit
ain, he added, because we cannot make
representations to the savages who COM
mitted the atrocities"
United States Attitude Is Lauded.
The principal resolution voted by the
meeting expressed appreciation OF those
assembled, as American citizens, at
this moment of grief and indignation,
of the action initiated up to the present
time by the American Government in
exerting the strength of its influence
upon the British government to protect
American lives and property in Pales-

taken by President Hoover and Secre-
