Pop Powell Comes
To Relief Of Shot
Mechanism, Again!

Pop" Powell, the old-good-for-
something (many things, in fact) ,
pulled another OK out of a ditch,
this week, and set the old bovine on
his pins to go some more.
An intricate part of The Ex-
aminer's typecasting machine took
a notion to make break for. liberty
after many years of faithful service,
and if it hadn't been for Pop
lending his table leaf clamp
,(twenty-four inches too long but
not an inch too short), this issue
of The Examiner would have had
to bide it's time until wires, postage
stamps, etc, got to work.
At that, Pops" a. pretty good
scout if you have the right cue to
approach him. And at that the cue
is not so difficult-just go at him On
a fifty-fifty basis and he5llghelp you
make hay wether the sun shines or
not. ~.'..
