Hurrah! The greatest boon to man
kind has come to light in this world
OF tears and strife. Science has dis
lowered that grass contains all of the
vitamins that are necessary to main
tain life in man. / have been think
ling, ever since I read the article, of
that nice big lawn out at the Capitol
but, darn, if it doesn't always seem
that I am on the losing end of every
thing. If l had only known of this
ten years ago I could have layed out
there in the shade of some of those
nice big trees Chat so please and rest
the eyes of the politicians during their
day of labor and crop the grass and
grow fat. But now my teeth are get
ting in such bad shape that | can no
longer browse. l suppose / will have
to rustic me one of those old-time
coffee mills and run the grass through
that. That won't be so bad if | don't
have to grind up more than hundred
pounds of 1t in a day in order to get
my vitamins. Say, won't this grass
eating policy be a boon to the bosses?
All they will have to do is to come
out in the morning, or send out that
stool pigeons, round us up for work
and turn us out to crop the grass of
a night.
| think the man with an eye for
business will commence right now to
look up the best grass land in the
state and squat down there. Perhaps
the farther one would get from the
seat of activity the better off they
would be as it doesn't seem to me it
would be necessary for a man to serve
the boss as long as the grass held |
out Anyway it would be worth try |
until you got caught up with.
| hope the politicians at the Capitol |
haven't seen the article about the |
grass cure for the ills of this nation
or they will be wanting to capitalize
on it and start balancing the budget |
with it. Now you know the governor
and Mr. Brandjord can sure use a
scheme of that kind to good advan-
tage. They can run all the WPA and
out on the Capitol lawn and
let them browse the grass and then
they will have all that relief money
TO turn into the general fund. Maybe
then the governor wouldn't be in the
red every month.
But the governor has got a darned
hard job when 1t comes to keeping
he state out of the red, as big poll
.icians will mate and settle down and
eraf |
o be middle sized politicians then of
course they must be taken care of.
And they must have an office and
a desk and swivel chair
rhe telephone is to make dates and
'orm parties with. besides 1t gives
he telephone company a chance for a
little dig.) The chair is to relax in
ind the desk is to rest their feet on.
Oh yes, the chair is swivel one so
hey won't have to get up to turn
around With this crop of little fell
ows coming on every year you can
'eadily see that the governor hasn't
my snap at his office. And then
here are the old politicians that have
gotten so old and lottery they can't
wen spit over their own chin any
more. That must be taken care of.
t doesn't matter how much Of the {
ilthy lucre they have laid away they [
till must have their fingers in the I
lie, and if you try to take them away {
hey whimper like little blind pup a
boxing for the tit again. 1t is heart s
ending to even write about it.
