JUST ONE THNG AFTEIT ANOTHER
You remember we were late yesterday, and we might
be late again today, or tomorrow, but it was this way—
yesterday morning everything started out beautifully, as
the girls say, and we thought that sure enough we were
going to get out the edition away ahead of time. Well, Dr.
Keating came down the street wearing a straw hat, the
til'st of the season. The word “hat” was being set on one
of the machines and there was a strike. The h and the
t got mixed with the a and all wanted to get down the C.
channel to C the new straw hat. Finally disorder was
brought about trying to settle the niixup but after half an
hour everything moved 0. K. again. Then the Alaska
whistled and disturbed the atmosphere and both machines
protested. If the Alaska had not l>een delayed, she would!
have whistled the other day and would not have disturbed
the air yesterday, causing the second trouble to the mach
ines. Again the difficulties were remedied, then — those
French names are tough ones anyway — and the type
couldn t see to make them out in the war articles and there
was another stop on that machine. The other one stopped .
out of cussed sympathy. After leading them out to water .
and back again, they started off. Then the gas became
watery or something and the heat under the pot went off. |
We put candles around the pot but they only melted. Then ,

bumping around the shop. Somebody cussed out loud and
the religious parts of the belting stopped work. This was
about 3 o’clock and the weather report hadn’t been set,, or
anything. Following more moral persuasion all parts of
the machinery moved together. Then we began exceed h tg
the speed limit and had a blow-out. Four o’clock by Ul.iis
time. Somebody wanted to know what time the pohper
was katning out — he lives, lvecause he ducked just in t’dne.
Well, we put the forms on the press at o:30 o’clock and. the
belts slipped. After putting sand on the track we ski dried
the edition out about G:30 o’clock and perhaps the same
thing will happen today — and if you know what the trou'
ble was yesterday, you know more than we do — except
the one thing—something happened, in fact several, things
and there you are ,GOOD AFTERNOON.

Just a lew more weeks and we will have the longest
