would be a pretty good thing
to fuss about in itself if we
were in a fussin’ mood, es-

in our opinion is such a good
joke that it should be good for
a laugh any old time. With
commodity prices and union

it presents such a good show
that a large percent of the pub-
lic just sits back and pays the
bill for the show to go on and
on. A good cartoonist could
draw a swell picture of a bug
crawling up a weed out in the
middle of a stream, moving up

be that the cartoonist wouldn’t
know what to label the bug and
