Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-01-27

Howdy, Folks:
Well, this is the day Of the big
fight, the Lewis-Louis fight. Both
boys are swell and our race is proud
of them. When this hits the news
stands MARGE MASON and SAL
will either be eating a delicious box
of Fanny Farmers candy or we
will be paying off the carton of
cigarets we owe. So, may the best
man win and in this case we hope
it is John Henry, for that's whom
we are betting on.
heard one of the boys who ad-
mires ROZELLA GARDNER Sc
cretly and envies her hubby, say,
Gee, Rozella wouldn't ever look
my way, mebbe-mebbe if the new
little Rozella were 16 years older
she might look at me, but guess
I'll be too old by that time" q.
EVA LEE is loolin' quite smart in
page boy hairdress. HILDA
MOSES is wearing the Jezebel
hairdress. DON SESSION,
LAWRENCE BROWN and BOB
MARSHALL have just returned
from a rarin' good trip down to
Omaha, Neb. (The boys say the
weather" was just too grand :. {.
What very young and popular st.
Paul couple will be buying a new
high chair sometime late this sum-
mer for their first addition, which
is expected round and about that
time?
The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
banquet Thursday mite promises to
be a grand success. The Alpha men
usually come out with rawther fine
affairs, so / know their friends
won't be disappointed. We will see
some of you good folks there.
Did you know STERLING DO
YER, st. Paul man about town, has
taken that final step to the altar
with some girl in Seattle, Wash. ?
:. The Saturday night swing ses-
sions over at the Wheatley House
have gained quite a bit of popular
ity. The young folks think the ses-
sions are swell. =. Dan Cupid says
the BERT SHANNON and DORIS
COINS romance is doing OK. and
doesn't need any arrows shot in
their direction, but he has his eye
on another st. Paul couple who
need some attention. Tin fact, says
Cupid, that couple is on the verge
of a collapse.)
CHAS. BEASLEY, JR., one of
our Minneapolis youngsters, is, i
predict, going to be one of the up
and coming musicians of the day.
At his age, with the limited num-
Der of lessons he has had, the boy
can really play the clarinet and
we're expecting great things from
him. ~
Did you hear about the out-of-
town boy who applied for job in
one of st. Pauls business estab-
lishments? The young man said
he had had loads of experience and
had taught in one of our southern
colleges. The business firm thought
he looked quite good and was fair
prospect, so they wired down to the
school and found out by return mail
that our sweet out-of-towner had
worked at the college, not in the
position of teacher, however, but as
a janitor. So-he's still minus a
job!!!
Have you met Mrs. - Of
the Twin Cities, the fond wife who
went to the telegraph office and
asked the operator could she send
a kiss to her hubby in Chicago by
telegraph, or how could she do il
'Tis said the obliging operator re-
piled, That's the easiest thing In
the world, Miss, just give it to me
plus one dollar and I'll transmit il
right away" To this remark our
WHEY replied: eff that's the case
your company should employ
younger and handsomer men IN
your position and then / would en-
| joy the transmitting better"
And so life runs on and as space
is limited I'll have to be dashing
along myself, so, folks, until next
week, and always, am,
Your old pal,
SAL.
