"Those are mile-posts," said the Seattle man.
A gentleman from Vermont was traveling west in a Pullman when a group
of men from Topeka, Kansas, boarded the train and began to praise
their city to the Vermonter, telling him of its wide streets and
beautiful avenues. Finally the Vermonter became tired and said
the only thing that would improve their city would be to make it a
seaport.
The enthusiastic Westerners laughed at him and asked how they could
make it a seaport, being so far from the ocean.
The Vermonter replied that it would be a very easy task.
"The only thing that you will have to do," said he, "is to lay a
two-inch pipe from your city to the Gulf of Mexico. Then if you
fellows can suck as hard as you can blow you will have it a seaport
inside half an hour."
BOLSHEVISM
"The reason you disapprove of Bolshevism is that you don't understand
it."
"Probably. Every time I get with Bolshevists and think I am beginning
to understand, they start a riot and take my mind off the subject."
There's just one thing the Bolshevik in America can do well--he can
dampen the fire under the Melting Pot!
Bolshevism--A blow-out on the tire of world-politics.
BOOKS AND READING
A student assistant, engaged in reading the shelves at the public
library, was accosted by a primly dressed middle-aged woman who said
that she had finished reading the last of Laura Jean Libby's writings,
and that she should like something just as good.
