AN APPEAL TO HOOVER
Dear Mr. Hoover: Can’t you arrange it to control
the price of Thanksgiving turkey? It is perhaps too early
to introduce the subject, and we know that you aie pei
haps the busiest man in the country: yet we leei the neet
of calling your attention to the matter so that you may
schedule it (now, please don’t pigeonhole it), and take it
up the next time you have a breathing spell.
Despite your years of residence abroad, you surely
know what the great American bird means to the average
American on the last Thursday in November. Think of
the children alone! If your memory needs refreshing,
recall the time when you were a boy. Was there any limit
to the quantity of white or dark meat, to say nothing oi
the stuffin’, you could stow away and still be hungry for
more? Did you ever, until you became a grown man, eat
turkey to complete satiety?
Notwithstanding the war, Mr. Hoover, we want to
celebrate Thanksgiving day in its old-time spirit. Wo
are willing and anxious to conserve food according to
your direction every other day of the year, but as loyal
Americans and true to the one gustatory American tra
dition. we do not wish to stint ourselves in the matter of
turkey on Tranksgiving Day.
Give this the once over. Mr. Hoover, and grant ihe
appeal.
The only thing we can’t understand is why news
print (paper) should go up and writing paper remain sta
tionerv.

The general manager of the American Red Cross says
that concerted efforts are being made in various sections
of the country to discredit and embarrass the organiza
tion. Rumors and innuendos are being industriously cir
culated as part of an unpatriotic propaganda. We won
der whether Von Bernstorff, before he left us, provided a
fund for carrying on this despicable work.
Hindenburg received a bust of the kaiser for a birth
day present; and the rest of us are hoping for a busted
kaiser as a Christmas present.
We would like to know if the line which the French
and British are punching full of holes is the same old Hin
denburg line or a brand new Prussian blue extension.
One of La Follette’s admirers thinks he can see some
thing like a halo about the Wisconsin senator’s head. That

nimbus-like appearance is merely the reflection from the
spiked helmet.
Some historical investigator has found that it cost
Columbus only $7000 to discover America. We make no
pretensions to prophecy, but it seems a safe prediction
that the kaiser will wish, ultimately, that lerdinand and
Isabella had never lent him the money.
The pet kiyis and the big do*s, beginning today, are
relegated to the backyards, kennels, or are tied to posts.
There is a fine of $2 if the authorities catch them and the
board bill is $1.50 per day. Doggone the dog if he is gone
these days and is caught.
It seems that the spy system keeps breaking out in
the United States. The arrest of a man in San Francisco,
who had stolen or was instrumental in securing plans of
l,'nited States submarines, is another case of the unexpect
ed. Soon the government of the United States must adopt
drastic measures to put a stop to this spy system and the
more drastic the measure the greater will it have a pro
nounced effect upon those who may contemplate some step
against the government.
