Now, don't you fellows 60 and
hang up last years emblem to ward
off Red Cross statesmen for this years
membership!
Chairman Martin Dies, Democrat of
Texas, said recently that he will ask
Congress in its next session for $780,
600 to continue his investigation of
un-American activities. 1t seems that
political ammunition as some term it,
like regular ammunition, has adj
vanced in price.
War observers claim that the pres
ent war is less deadly than the World
so well armed that they delay start
ing the slaughter for fear that it will
end in destruction for everybody
In other words we are getting SO
strong we are afraid of ourselves
A teacher recently asked her class
where the elephant could be found
A little Democrat in the rear of the
room shouted: ''In Maine and YER
mont"
President Roosevelt made the state
ment after Congress had voted re-
peal of the Arms Embargo Act: 81
am very glad that the bill has re-
stored the historic position of neu-
trality of the United States" Oh
oh, I wouldn't be surprised now
since that is the case, that we will be
in the war in about six months.
We certainly can't brag too loudly
about our "historic neutrality" policy
seeing as how the grave of the un-
known soldier is still fresh.
I'll bet Thanksgiving will 60 into
effect earlier over in France anc
England, too, now that the Arms EN-.
barge has been repealed.
1t has happened again! DR.. George
Gallup, of Gallup poll fame, has come
out with the statement that SO per.
cent of the Democrats favor Frank.

l wonder if the Doctor asked the one:
who got jobs under the administra-
ton or those who did not there
really is difference, don't you know
Sunny how optimistic one can gel
on full stomach. You know some
of us would really vote Republican
if we were promised job by that
party that's how desperate 6
person can get once in a while
son, Republican member of the Min
nesota Railroad & Warehouse Com
mission. Investigating committees
just keep dragging him around while
they are trying to get something or
the two Farmer-Labor members OF
the Commission.
In Germany they're saying that
Stain has become Nazi. Nazi lead
ers, similar to the little boy who
whistled when he passed a grave
yard, are just trying to keep up
their courage.
Former Kaiser Wilhelm, who is in
exile, has refused, it is said, request
by Hitler that he sign a proclamation
approving the war against Great
Britain and France. He was prom
ised the return of his former allow
ance of S1750 per month which had
been reduced. Kaiser Bill, as the
rest of us should have, apparently
learned a lesson from the World war
Congressman Harold Knutson, when
the House was about to vote on re-
peal of the Embargo, said that wom-
ans suffrage must now be consid
cred. Congressman Knutson said:
1.-THE mothers of America now have
the ballot-something they did not
have back in 1917 when Congress
voted to cast our lot with the Allies
an act we regret most bitterly y
Shucks, Harold, I'll bet some of those
fellows even voted against giving
women the right to vote.
Yep, we're neutral now. England
has boosted to Germany that "we
have got you now, since America
has decided to place its enormous
war industry, unlimited resources of
raw materials, moral support and
material aid on the side of Britain
and France" Yep, we neutrals will
be great fighters, sure huff.
