: before, but right now there
thousands who do not have a pen-
ny. But with that pressing need
they are guided by that still small
voice that says “don’t do It” and
somehow they get along, though
sometimes it is hard. And there
are others who have more money
than they will ever spend and are
moving everything to get all the
rest of it. They love it.

With all the things this govern-
ment is trying to do, I think they
had better let up on some of it and
try to do something about
cold weather. The thing is
evened up right. The city
has a little gadget on the
called a thermostat that he can
set at night and the next morning
while he is in the land* of night-
mares it kicks on, and when he
gets up the room is nice and warm.
There is no occasion for that man
not living a life of sinless perfec-
tion, when the old country rube
has to crawl out on an ice-cold
floor, run over a chair and back-
slide before he gets his pants on.
Of course the government has not
got far enough along that they
can control the weather—they are
working at it—but they could pro-
vide more thermostats.
