Dear Editor:

Lear EQlCOr:
Excuse me please if this is little
late, but I want to congratulate you
upon your success in winning the
campaign for the new school house.
Not that the real issue in hand has
any bearing on the case. We have
always had school houses and al
ways building new ones, and the in
creased debt is of small Importance
because no one ever seriously con-
siders paying that. We always kick
about our obligations and high
taxes but break our promises to keep
from paying up and break our
necks to vote for bigger and better
ones. But the point I wish to con-
graduate you about is the stupen-
dous, irresistible, magnificent
drawing power of your paper as an
advertising medium. When your un-
comparable, irreproachable paper
came out boldly for increased tax
alton, extravagant spending and I
believe the political term is Boom
doggling," it was just too bar for the
opposition.
More power to you and I presume
that with this new victory to your
credit, resting as it does among so
many other hard-won trophies, it is
a waste of time to warn you to use
your power wisely lest you get us
something that might not be for
our best interest. It must be a ter
rible responsibility for one man to
have resting on his shoulders. And
now while you are resting on your
hard learned laurels, signing for
more worlds to conquer, would it be
asking too much to have you turn
your attention to another small
item that is of interest to a great
many people of this community. I
really hate to speak about this for
fear of being misunderstood for be-
ing the only staunch Republican
left in the community, some folks
might infer that was trying to
play politics, but you tell them such
is not the case as never run for
office in my life. But the subject is
to try to get the post office to stay
open long enough SO us farmers
when we come to town on Saturday
afternoon, don't have to buy our
stamps at the drug stores and pool
halls. Now I don't wish to impose
on anyone and I know that the
postal employees are a much-abused
and over-worked bunch Of boys. It
wouldn't do to ruin their young lives
with this added burden, but this
community has a man who is our
avowed servant of the people, who
put him self on record as being will
ing to do anything possible to fur
ther the cause of liberty for this
district and who is now idle, but still
on the payroll. "a.
I refer to our noble u. S. Repre-
sentative. See if you can get him to
come down here and keep the stamp
window open on Saturday after
moons. 49, .-......E

Mr.. Smith had the average mans
reluctance about flying under false
colors, but this situation seemed to
call. for something a bit out of the

"Of Course, 1 Am"
"Of course, I'm Santa Claus, but
who are you?"
"Oh, Martha, just Martha"

Mrs. Smith had joined him at the

you live?" Mr.. Smith was having a

Martha, although more than reluc-

gave the address.

and rang off.
