THE MARBLE TRUST,
SHE CAME TO BUST
tPy JOSEPH I S)
During these times of price regula
tion of coal by the government, as
well as the time and attention, and
unkind words, directed at food spec
ulators and others who attempt to
corner markets, it does not seem amiss
to turn an investigating eye upon a
local situation which has been over
looked by most of us while busily en
gaged in the tasks of our daily life.
The person who attempts to control
all of the available supply of any
product and thereby regulate the
price of the same, especially during
times when the world is at war and
millions of people starving and >v
9 need of everything, characterizes h*e.
self as being se’fish and undesirable
That Seward should come in contact
and realize at close range the abnor
0
nial workings of a monopolistic mama
ir particularly sad because of .ts
truth.
The inner workings of a local err*
bination has just been exposed, the
calcium of publicity has been thrown
upon the cringing octopus; th<% cards
aie upon the table, face up—witness
the plot in detail:
With the passing of winter and the
subsequent birth of spring all Seward
put forth its new regalia anti engaged
in ^he outdoor activities usual to such
a Season. The snow melted, as snow
usually docs; the leaves and buds
sprouted in a manner becoming to
tVm; the little children bounced from
their winter havens and engaged in
the sports of the new season; Aey
skated on their skates, kiddied on their
cars, and in due time marbled with
their marbles.
Tis at this point that the two vil
lains enter and we witness their plots
of monopoly and control. With their
sombreros strapped firmly to their
heads, with their heels and necks well
rubbered, they approached quietly
upon the marble arena on the thor
oughfare. Challenge after challenge
was hurled by them against the com
peting athletes, with finally an ac
ceptance by the lilliputian champions
who paced the proper distances and
the c4iflict began.
The battle of the marbles was on
and for the villains Hammy Graff
shot first, followed by Joe Bradshaw
of the Champions, then in quick suc
cession the other villain, Billy Ellis,
throws his taw, and Ted Fathers does,
the same.
* The contest was one sided, the vil
lains. bent on controlling the current
supply of marbles, were succeeding
and the ruin of the little champions
was imminent when on the distant
horizon appeared the dark shadows of
two fast approaching warriors. Heroes
they*were, and they swooped upon the
villains, throwing challenges upon
them. The villains turned upon them
and recognized the heroes as being
Doctors Romig and Keating.
They knew the “stuff was off." but
realizing that they could not retreat
with the huge stakes they had won,
they had to stand and battle the
heroes. For an hour the air was rent
with the piercing commands of
•‘knuckle down boney-tight, “vent
dubs,” “vent scrapes,” “three fingers
flat,” and both sides showed the exe
cution and technique of champions,
which was equalled only by their var
ied interpretation of rules and their
extemporaneous announcements o.
vital marble law. It was evident that
the heroes were besting the villains
who were forced time after time to
borrow “stakes” or “dakes” from the

lilliputian champions and the contest
ended with the complete routing and
financial ruin of the villains.
The two doctors walked from the
scene of battle arm in arm with their
grips rattling with “chinies,” “comps”
and every other kind of ammunition
known to the marble world and later
divided them among the kids, while
the two villains were attacked on the
scene of battle by their creditors who
had loaned thtvn comp after comp and
chinie after chinie, in an effort to
stay their defeat. They settled their
indebtedness on *.he basis of one cent]
for every marble borrowed and with
drew to their spring training camp to
condition themselves for a counter at
tat k later upon two doctor heroes. And
thus the marble trust came to bust.
