Kansas City, Mo. Chattanooga, Tenn, LITTLE TWISTER Belt Power Transmit- ters for Ford and Dodge DOCKAGE INVESTIGATING The price of food is up again, Said a solon in debate, Oh, that’s all right, another said, We'll just investigate. We’ll look into the cost of clothes In far off Timbuctoo, Perhaps we’ll ask why Eskimos Pay more for blubber stew. And then we’ll plobe the rising price Of Chinese birds’ nest soup, Of shoes among the cannibals And a circus loop the loop. And why the Filipinos pay Less for their pants than we, And why down in Afghanistan A show costs more to see. We'll try to find the reason why The Japs pay more for hats, And why the raise in prices to The Arab for his spats. We'll call some men from Chili, Some Mexicans and Turks, To help explain the price of grub And where the villain lurks. And then about a-year from now We'll issue our report— We probed this profiteering and Found ncthing of the sort! The Wall Street Journal is discuss- ing “salvage” in “derelict Mexico.” It wouldn’t be the first time that a ship was wrecked by those who wanted the salvage. = It seems that you can’t keep a good man or a Hapsburg down. Now Arch- duke Joseph is in the saddle in Hun- gary and is looking around for bar- gain prices on crowns. Let’s see whether the profiteer will wave the flag again in an effort to prevent congress from touching him. It has been his favorite method since- 1917. A scientist announces that he has discovered an ocean of beer. Further reading shows us it is on the planet Mars. Someone is always taking the joy out of life. the cost of living is going down.” We read a little farther and find that rice is cheaper in China; or that we can get all the ice we want free of charge Newspapers announce . LEGAL LIMERICKS Said a judge in a village in Minn,, “You can’t put your evidence in, I'm afraid our friend Nick Will be made to look sick, And I promised to see that he’d win.” Whether the United States should take that league of nations mandatory over Armenia does not create the slightest stir among Northwest politi- cians. But they are worried to des- peration about the mandatory the farmers and workers are going to take. over Minnesota and several other states in the 1920 election. Lost — Somewhere between Paris and Versailles, one war aim. Bears inscription, “To Make the World Safe for Democracy.” Valuable only as a relic. Finder please return to Amer- ica. Congress has finally decided that the profiteers are responmsible for the high cost of living. Congress has at last found out what-the people have known for a good deal more than a year. o American shoes are cheaper in Eng- land than at home, but an American can’t import them because of the duty. When the Prince of Wales comes to visit the United States it is to be hoped that no rude person will recall that one of his ancestors, George III. by name, was kicked out of the same ter- ritory. Little drops of water, s Little grains of sand, Cost more than they orter, Cost to beat the band— Especially when they are mixed in milk at 15 cents a quart and in sugar at 12 cents a pound. The only thing lacking in Nicholas’ letters to Teigen was the warning, “Burn this,” at the end of it. : Ferdinand Teigen seems to have acquired a reputation that even an I. V. A. might envy. Don’t you just love the old gang methods?

We have just purchased from the United States government $100,000.00 worth of army goods, consisting of harnesses, saddles, blankets, comforts, tents, knapsacks, haversacks, belte, granite cups, humane metal collars, leather collars, tank pumps, force pumps,. harrows and other articles too numerous to mention. The army tents are pyramid shaped. 16 feet square, 11 feet high, made of 12-ounce duck, equip- ped with hood and ropes, and cost the government from $856 to $100 each. Our price, while they last, only $27.560 each. New high-hipped rubber boots, $6.00 per pair, and new leather jer- kins, $6.00 each; Also good army_ cots. All of the above goods were bought by the government for its different camps ‘ and cantonments, and we can sell them at a fraction of their original.cost. Barrett & Zimmerman ~Midway Horse Market, St. Paul, Minn. They are " Isn’t it a strange coincidence that race riots broke out in Washington just when the anti-bolshevist com- mittee was at work? County Attorney Nicholas is just now finding out that love letters aren’t the only kind that are apt to get a man in trouble. THE PLAN OF THE PROFITEER If you think that bread is high, hit the farmer; if the costs are near the sky, hit the farmer; though the profit goes to me I can make you plainly see that is just as it should be, hit the farmer. Though ‘he’s making half enough, hit the farmer; though his going’s mighty tough, hit the farmer; it would hit the nation hard if my profit, say on lard, should be sent to the discard, hit the farmer. He has been our goat for years, hit the farmer; we’ll repay him with three cheers, hit the farmer; it’s the profiteering game to get and keep the same, let the hayseed take the blame; soak the farmer. And if he should organize, hit the farmer; we don’t want him to get wise, hit the farmer; he might stop our little plan to get profits while we can, he’s a most discerning man, hit the farmer. He should let politics alone, darn the farmer; it’s a game that’s all our own, blast the farmer; if the farmer should elect representatives direct, we would get it in the neck, beat the farmer. If you’ve got to take some dough, take the farm- er’s; we have always done it so, soak the farmer; while we’ve set the prices high, you just wink the other eye, if you must do somethmg, Why, hlt the farmer. { .
