Craziest City in Mississippi and Daily Growing Nuttier ' PHONE! QASK CUTIE! O MEMBER OF UNASSOCIATED PRESS Thought for the Day: ' KEEP YOUR CHIN UP OR SOMEONE WILL STEP ON IT I THE PIXILATED JOURNAL Say It With Grapefruit Within two days our fair city has become the grapefruit-rais- ingest city on the globe. Ever since Lawyer DeWitt Denton washed the gold dust out of his right eye men, women and child- ren have been begging for grapefruit. The giant seeds distributed by the Growemquik Seed Co. will produce fruit that will fit nicely into the smallest bathtub. Eu- phemism: Don't be small change. Whether your coffee can, your sherbert dishes or flower bowls are empty or not doesn't matterg plant grapefruit, anyway. Remember your civic pride-you know, the stuff your grand- father parked in the closet. Pull it out and make it talk the breakfast-bath lingo. Poor Punk No longer will he pester innocent young damsels with amorous tales of valor and bosh, ,nor will he charge sodas on his sister-in- law's drug bill. The cat won't get kicked and the dog can bark whether it's alka seltzer or not. The family can take all the rides it wants, even go to town on Saturdays. If someone besides his majesty wants to croon bathtub blues, it'll be all right 'cause he won't know, anyhow. The preacher no longer will have to applaud when he comes to services 'cause he won't be a-coming for a long stretch. Them lmtruments will run the neighbors crazy by themselves 'cause he ain't agonna blow 'em no more. In fact, even if itq will be a. tech of heaven, the community ex- tends its soul-felt, sincerest, dutiful sympathy to the entire Cren- shew family on their son's recent trip to the land behind the bars. He didn't mean to put snuff in his girl friend's papa's pipe that night anyway. Of this we are certain, for he solemnly swore he wished it had been inhalable cyanide. War? Yes, and we boys at home must do our part to win the cause for which our damsels are scratching in ten-carat gold armor. Our duties are triple-fold. First, to secure bigger and better per- fumed bombs and they are pleading for lavender. Are we to deny them the scents for which they yeam? Second, to pursue the gallavanting peacock till we bring home the plumes fa feather in her head-gearl. Third, when we are not occupied with house- hold duties, to confiscate every butcher's fingernail file for a radius of two markets. Too, before we take that little trek to the night clubs of our blossoming metropolis, we should save out at least nickle one for a hershey bar for her. The morning after we should hock our tux at the cleaners so that she can have her hair curled be- tween rounds. All in all we must, we can't, we won't shave until she brings our prize razors back. Before you lull to slumberland the kid in the polygon pants, remember his mother on the battlefield. Pillsborough Politics Driving Town Daffier Poli.icians in Pillsborough! And the crowd ran amuck when Mr. De- Witt Denton, manager of the notor- ious Mr. James Quinnelly, candidate for the coveted position of chief trash disposer in the city of Pillsborough, announced that his candidate would throw the ball for decorative bottom- less trash containers of hues in direct contrast to the general color scheme of the homes. Whereupon Mr. David Griffin, supporer of Mr. Robert Fra- sier, retaliated that his man for the job would even furnish said containers and challenged the furor on. Like a charging bull Mr. William Felknor snortingly acquiesced and stormed that his nominee, Mr. Roger Cameron had the essential knowledge for hold- ing the position conferred on him by the degree of MDR fMaster Dirt Re- moverl. The meeting ended in an open massacre of ejaculation: . . Mr. James Donald, one of the first sena- tors to be chosen by the hat drawing method, introduced a bill in the Sen- ate today for the declaration of bank night as a national holinight. A most ardent opposer to the idea, Senator James Hale of Hunktown, lows, gave conse- nation by the Hale's Hayes Donald a frantic dissertation of the quent evils of turning the loose on any night. Swayed potent eloquence of Senator noble address, Senator Frank withdrew his support from the Bill and firmly declared that he pre- ferred to holler in the broad open daylight. 191. Hackinet To Make Debut At Jubilee The Picklepeeno, Inc. announces that its first Jubliee will be the offi- cial debut of an unusual ind in the way of musical instruments - the hackinet. No one will claim the inven- tion, but its sale is astounding since its uses are so manifold. It is a five-cornered red and yellow collapsible object which can be used as a musical driver's seat, screw driv- er, can opener, razor, and to clean old tapestries and knot shoestrings. If you press the raised hicky on its left side, it will play orchestral jazz, the green nub on its right and any- thing you ask for will ejaculate. lt's de-lirious, it's de-versatile, it' de- gip, but buy yours now! Suspended Sky Port Hangar Done. Say Nitwit Engineers The hangar for the Suspended Sky Port has been completed according to Engineers John Unger, James Walkcr and Frank E. Smith. This being the first of its kind to prevent the aviator from getting lost in the fog and to enable him to settle down, Engineer B. E.
