The Toriff Question

It was in the mountains of old Tennessee.

ft was what is there called a "political speakin'."

The folks had gathered from the entire countryside in their wagons, their buggies, and their fivvers, to hear the political questions of the campaign discussed.

The speakin' place was greensward in an oak grove, and the speaker's platform was a wagon beneath a great oak.

A candidate for public office had been introduced, and he stuck his right hand in front of his long black coat where it was buttoned, and began:

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Old State of Tennessee, I come before you today to discuss the sovereign principles of that great type of Jeffersonian Democracy for which the South shed its blood, an' which are now bein' outrageously attacked by them dern Republicans. I feel it to be my duty-"

Just then an old man rose in the crowd and shouted: "IIow do you stand on the Tarifr question?"

"What's that?" asked the speaker, as though he did not hear.

"f say, tell us how you stand on the Tariff question," repeated the questioner.

"Well," said the speaker nervously, hemming and hawing for a minute, "I don't come here today to discuss that subject as I don't consider it of vital imlortance like I do Jeffersonian Democracy, but if you must know, I'M IN FAVOR OF PAYIN' HER OFF AND LETTIN' HER GO."

Egg on Their Foces? No, Foces on the Egg!

The Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 1, Los Angeles, nominated a committee to prepare Easter Eggs for girls at the Ramona School for Girls. Instead of the committee merely coloring the eggs, they decided to make an Easter hat on each one. Every kind of hat was represented from the harem-type to the Grandmother type-and the gals really had fun whipping these into shape as a gift to the unfortunate young girls in this school.

The committee consisted of Sallye Bissel, Betty Morrill, Mabel Staser, Corrine Adams, Fay Bolmer, Norma Boyce, Marguerite Dixon and the gal who painted all of the faces on the Easter Eggs-Elizabeth Dixon, sister of Marguerite. These eggs were to be used as table decorations for a school tea the girls were having.
