Well, Sir, you can believe it
or not, Mr.. Editor, but we re-
ceived a note the other day
from that person who masquer-
AIDES under the non nom nond-
= = (oh you know what we mean
of Rosebud Rambler. Surprls-
ing as it may seem, he seems to
have given birth to ar idea an
he thought so we'll of it that
he included in his note to us "a
three cent stamp so that we
could pass 1.-THE idea-on to
you, an if we know anything at
all about this Rambler guy-ltS
a double barreled cinch that ne
wouldn't voluntarily give up a
three cent stamn with out a
helluva struggle. OF course he
showed a lot of consideration
of us about this stamp thing
he explained, that knowing that
we worked for the Sugar corpse,
three cents would be like a
days work to us, an he didn't
want to hang that on us.
1t seems that he saw several
congratulatory ads in your
paper last week put in by some
of the boys who nicked you for
the material for your new build
ing an he thought it would be
a nice idea if he'd sort of spread
a little of the same stuff. Nat
urally, we think it's silly as the
devil but on the other hand 1t
won't do any harm to humor
him a bit-he isn't such a bad
sort, he really isn't-even If he
is a democrat. We must re-
member that every one is "oft'
a little in some way. But to get
back to the idea-you under
stand of course, that he engin-
eered this, not us.
We furnished neither lumber
nor brick.
We took not a cent of your
money.
But if you don't mind, we
furnished in kind
A varied and fertile Bull-uney.
We're glad to join in the
chorus
In applaudin' your building
success.
We hope you grow bigger an
cut quite a figger
May your shadows never

Rhode Island Red.
There was something else
that we were gonna mention
Oh, yes-We noted that up and
Down the Street" sorta slipped
on the ice an drew blood the
first round. Boy, we're right
with you. We started down that
beautiful White Way, known as
Center street. We started stop
pin a block south of the high
way but didn't get stopped till
we got to the post office, a block
north of the highway: If a
Teller managed to make the
stop sign at the highway-he
was stuck-If he didn't make it
he was pinched. Nice bust
ness.
It seems that sand cutters up
the sewerS-an' cinderS muSS up
the linoleums, an salt'sI too
damn expensive. So - what?
Suggestions have been askef for
so-here goes. They WON'T cost
anybody a cent, Ladies an gen.
tlemen-they're free.
Wed suggest that if cinders
are used on the icy intersec-
tons the stores could keep their
floors clean by closing up until
the street is dried and cleaned
what's a little business COM
pared to clean floors. II that
isn't satisfactory, we'd suggest
that you pour gasoline on the
streets and set it afire-that
ought to melt it. If that don't
work why not hang loud speak
ers at the street intersections
and tune in on "Fireside Chats"
They'd not only melt the ice
but will eventually, start the
grass to CROWN. You can try
these few suggestions an by
that time it'll be Spring an
there won't be any ice.
Ho, Hum. Anyhow. Mr.. Editor,
it's nice work-you furnish the
duck an we'll furnish the stuff
fin.
