I
T TP before the milkman, and heard
X-' a camera click (1) while I wan
stretching In bed. Thoee shutter
bugs are everywhere. No privacy
at all. A goHHip columnist had me
“Infanticipatlng" in the morning
paper. A celebrity can't even chew
her cud In peace nowadays. I^et's
see, today I leave for Hollywood to
act In the movies. I'm the cow Kay
Francis is going to milk In IxHiisa

Oakie and Charles Winnlnger. Won-

my breakfast hay?
(2) Say, what’s this? A new secre-
tary? Well, dust my dewlap! Pretty,
isn’t she? What’s your name?
*'Vera,” eh? Read me my part In
the movie, Vera. What’s my stage
name? O, yes — “Buttercup”?
Mm-m-mm. Three times they’ve
changed my name In my eight
years. Over at the American Jer-
sey Cattle Club they have me regis-
tered as “You’ll Do IiObella.” That’s
my father’s and mother’s family
names put together. Then, when

New York World’s Fair to lire In
this bovine boudoir, so that city
folks could see what a cow looks
like, everybody started calling me
"Elsie.” So now it’s “Buttercup.”
O, well, by any udder name my
milk would be just as creamy.
(3) Take a letter to my fans,
Vera. Put it on that new letterhead
paper with my picture at the top,
and always address them by their
first names—nice and intimate, you
know. “Dear So-and-So: Thank you
for your note asking for my auto-
graph. That isn't a smudge at the
bottom of this picture. It’s my
autograph—my muzzleprlnt. My an-
cestors came here six generations
ago, from the Island of Jersey in
the English Channel, and there
are thousands of my relatives in
America now, but we all have
different muzzleprints. Just like
your fingerprints are different from
any other person’s. Hoping that
you are drinking lots of milk and.
with love from moo to you, I am.
Very truly yours. Elsie (nee You’ll

let’s see what you’ve got, Vera.
(4) Got to hoof along, now. I'm
the guest star at a war relief fund
charity bazaar this afternon. Why.
whisk my withers, there’s Lee
Boyce, my old boss up at Elm Hill
Farm in Brookfield, Mass., where
I was born. Hello, Mr. Boyce! How
are things back home? Please tell
the other cows that all this pub-
licity hasn’t turned my head a bit.
I can still fill up the milkpail twice
a day. Just stick around 'til I
finish this alfalfa salad, and see
me do it. A little closer with that
feed bucket, please. Say, if you see
that ‘husband of mine, tell him
I’ll write from Hollywood. ’Bye,
now! See you in the movies.
• Editor's Note — Elsie’s current
husband is Norman of Oaklands,
purebred Jersey sire whose great-
aunt, Brampton Basilua, will be re-
membered as the row that produced
ISIS pounds of butterfat (more than
her own body weight) in a year,
and by that feat became widely
known as "The Cow that Jumped

HOW
WORLD CAME OUT OF A VACUUM
X T 7T1EN Thomas A. Edison pumped all the air out of his laboratory
* » bell jar and shot a feeble electric current through a charred cotton
string, he witnessed the beginning of a new world ... a world that
came out of a vacuum.
The electric light which came out of that vacuum built the great
electric industry of the United States, an industry which today puts
behind the American workingman more cheap electric power than is
available in any other nation. Because of this abundance of power
American workingmen produce more goods, and earn more money, and
work shorter hours than any other men in the world.
We’ve a new world. We Americans have developed it ourselves:
with initiative, with courage, with intelligence and ingenuity, and with
hard work.
Thomas Edison slaved because he knew the world would welcome
something better. We his followers feel that it is our responsibility to
protect and expand the usefulness of that great man’s contribution. For
example, because of our unceasing progress, this company is able to give
better service now than was possible ten years ago—at about half the
rate! The average customer can now use about twice as much electricity
as he did then for the tame amount of money.
Today we’re the best lighted nation on earth. And we enjoy more
of the many other electrical conveniences—radios, washers, irons, re-
frigerators—than any other nation. We’ve a freedom—a freedom from
drudgery, from inconvenience—that can’t even be approached any-
where else!
The next time you turn on an electric light or tune in a
dance band, think how much you get for so little. And
remember that it is the goal of this company and its em-
ployees to bring you greater value this year than last; and
bring more of the good things of life to more people at
less cost.
