THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

When Christopher Columbus
came over, the money here. It
was wampum. Mr.. Indian wore
a string of it around his neck.
And if Mr.. Indian rolled bis
own cigarettes, and his better
half did not hang out too much
at the beauty tepee, he would
maybe accumulate an extra
string or so-now and then. And
when he did so, he would hide
'em in a bee-tree or under a log,
for safe-keeping-and a RAINY
day.
And ! got to thinking about
wampum on account / see where
the Govt. is burying all the gold
it can get its hands on, down IN
Kentucky.
In Columbus time, if you dug
iup a string of wampum it was
coin of the realm, but if you dig
up a five dollar gold piece to-
day you are on a limb. 1t is use
less. Also you land in the Gala
bose.
Something is squee-gee some
place. Our Doctors of Finance
there at Headquarters on the old
Potomac, they should maybe call
, in a coupla Indian Medicine Men
for consultation.
Yours with the low down,
