Washington, ID. c., and crawled into
that same cozy bed at 4:30 a. m. the
next morning after having driven
about 400 miles, just "a hours and
As minutes of gadding about do you
believe your brain would function
normally enough to write column?
Neither do I, but since it doesn't take
any brains to write this, I might as
well go ahead.
But in case the mighty sandman
overtakes me, don't let it worry you
and thank your stars that Pm not
telling you any dreams or fairy tales.
Open up, eyes! I haven't even got
started and you begin to 60 back on
me! Oh. what's the use?
Tuesday morning: Archibaldson
(Armistice Day.: "And there, son, I
have told you the story of your daddy
and the great war;"
Son Bobby: eyes, daddy; but
what did they need all the other SOL
diers for?"
Wednesday morning-If 1. don't
soon hurry up and get something
written the Boss Editor won't be able
to get the paper out tomorrow. I be-
lieve I've caught up on my sleep.
Well, here goes. Once upon time

Thursday morning-The Boss Edi-
tor said we go to press in five min
utes, whether 1 have this column
written or not. I didn't think he could
do it. Well, I had a good trip, any
way.
The horsemen were reunited for
one big day. Reeves was the same as
ever. We inspected the Battlefield at
Gettysburg, and the people there
hadn't changed either. Then to the
City of Washington to see Herbie
Hoover, but met up with Mr.. A. S.
Ours instead, walking along G street.
Saw Bill Haines, movie actor, in per-
son. He looked human. Went eight
blocks looking for a place to eat
where you don't have to grab it and
put it on a tray where it is invaria-
bly, spilled before you are able to
find vacant seat. Finally wound up
in cigar store where they sold every
thing but the brand of cigars we
wanted.
Inquired of a cop about Froggie
Cross and Paul Shultz, but both were
off duty. We left our card. Had to
ask how to get out of the Fox thea
tire. Seems like the passageways led
to every place but the one we were
looking for. On the way back we got
to Winchester just in time for fire,
but it wasn't nearly as successful as
one the other night around these
parts.
| After the fire here was under con-
troll Jim fowler dropped back to nor
NAL. His blood pressure increased
enormously during those early morn
ing hours. A lot more people wear
pajamas than l had supposed. Ex-
IRENE styles were apparent among the
spectators from a bathrobe ensemble
worn by Joe Hinebaugh to collar, tie,
hat, top coat and all accessories worn
by Eddie Elias. Eddie will be excused
if he proves that he hadn't gone to
bed yet.
Yesterday Bob Hoffman was read
ing the Washington Post to see if our
names were in the personal column
proclaiming to one and all that we
had visited the city. 1t wasn't, and
Bob expressed his disgust.
Bill Mayfair has gone in for raising
pigs since catching the creased one at
the skating rink the other night. Go
ing coon hunting and bringing back a
skunk has been the fortune" Of Bill
Glotfelty and Frank Criss. Bring on
the Hush or Odorono.
Everytime the fire whistle bolws,
Jim Compton starts every pump at
the city water works. Last Friday
morning after playing five streams on
the fire for five hours, the water in
the reservoir was only four feet from
the overflow.
Frank Ross, Piqua, Ohio, says he
looks forward to reading The Repub-
lican and that Scoops column is good.
Now there's fellow who knows what
he is talking .about and is not afraid
to say what he thinks. Joe Kitzmiller
got sore last week because he couldn't
find the column. He wants a picture
of Scoop run at the head of the col
umn hereafter SO he can find it with
out looking.
