Citizens also find in their mail a handbill with a picture of Uncle Sam holding out a chair and advising "Let lJncle Sam help you when you select your furniture."

What a man. What an uncle. He cherishes his people. He is with them when they get up. He is around the house at night. He is in the kitchen and the basement. He is getting a nose like an anteater's and it is everywhere. He is water boy and medicine man. He sells coffee and he buys wheat. He digs up barberry bushes. He cuts weeds and takes mortgages on crops. Ife chases fruit flies and slops around in the cow barn. He feels the pulse, teaches kindergarten, censors books, and runs the custom houses to prevent card games.

If you want a kitchen table, a set of false teeth, some nasturtium seeds, a teething ring, a bit of cash, or another baby, ask your Uncle Sam. He is going loco-and broke.
