Friends of little Nell will be veddy

was supposed to have consumed 19
hamburgers I! /! INQUISITIVE
SAL, lucky chile, will go East to

J. e. Perry, the printing man (the

an OhsmObile these days.
Jewel Mann, the Office secretary,
will go to Detroit for a few days.
Some people have all of the luck!
Ben Wilson is back in Minneap-
oils! Moulden's Cafe was redeco-
rated several weeks ago and tardily
we write the place looks fine and
the beer is ice cold. 4. Police Of
icer Robert Williams "retort per-
feet" to critics is, II live on my
salary" Erskine Smith says
he is in favor of im-Crowing peo-
pie in the Ramsey County Jail. E.
We also understand that the wom-
ems detention home in Minneapolis
operates the most unique jim Crow
system on record. The Mill
City preacher who told his congre-
cation last Easter that he wasn't
going to visit the hospitals unless
they bought him a car is still
walking or riding Lowry cabs. :.
cap" Crowder, Minneapolis in
stitution, off from his duties at the
MINNEAPOLIS ATHLETIC
CLUB for several months, is still
not well enough to go back on the
job.
Minneapolis and st. Paul society
is going slow on entertaining out
of-tOwners this summer. Reason:
Lack of reciprOcatiOn when Twin
Ctians visit other towns. The
home folks are waking up. The
money they spend throwing par
ties for school teachers, doctors,
etc, from the other sections, they
keep to meet the coal or oil man
who, by the way, is not far away
at that. Chicago must be los
ing its reputation. A popular
young fellow and his wife who
went to the Windy City for two
weeks came back pounds heavier.
You would expect that if they had
gone to a country town, but for a
city where the visitors are sup
posed to train on mite clubs, plenty
of giggle water, etc., the return of
the natives with increased weight
is down right remarkable.
RUDE Warren, the barber man,
is one of the few barber shop
proprietors in the Twin Towns
who favored the state codes which
set a wage minimum for barber
shop employees. Bill Freeman,
former boxer and baseball pitcher,
is proprietor of the Acme Smoke
Shop on the Mill City Northside.
Reservations are pouring in
for the Chicago Northwestern spe-
cial train to the Associated Iowa
Clubs convention in Milwaukee. e..
Advance sale of tickets for the
Chick Webb Dance indicate a rec
ord breaking crowd of 5000. This
Ella Fitzgerald person has no COM
petition for swing singing among
the femme torch warblers except
Maxine Sullivan who has style
of her own. The Webb band on
midwestern swing will come here
from K. C. where it will play on
July rs. The Twin City engage
ment will be played in the st. Paul
Auditorium Main Arena which is
air-cooled.
It's said that C. NJ, the old dick
ems, has been after adding another
female scalp to his belt. Better
be careful, friend, you can't run as
fast as you used to and her hus-
band is a much younger man than
you are!!!
Well, children, you see we
couldn't resist digging up a little
dirt. If it were not for that you
wouldn't turn to this column hur-
riedly each week, now wouldja
now?
