' .-'- A-1 A.f' s-ELL s e -r The l-lfoclge-Podge Empire was resuming the litful throes of discontent which had been prevalent there since 1940 when the territory once known as California seceded from the United States. In the late 3O,s a politician of drastic tendencies, Lamar jackson, had persuaded the peaceful people of California, by suave misrepresentation of the existing conditions through- out the country, that great opportunities confronted California as a sov- ereign state. 1 A stringent civil war of twenty years endured thereafter, and great agony was felt in all the countries of the world due to the resulting lack of trade with the budding nationality. The rebellion of California was Successful and this great success was credited to General Oliver Nelson, who repeatedly led his forces directly into the fire of the enemy only to finish victoriously. ln the decisive battle of the war fought near Reno one late afternoon in '61 General Nelson was struck from his war plane by a bolt of lightning sent by Commander Sidney Olson who was directing the opposing forces from a position on the bank of a consolidated cloud. Lieutenant-General john Fredericks, upon witnessing the death of the valiant Nelson immedi- ately assumed leadership of the rebelling' forces and directed at General Olsonis cloud a great quantity of cloud-condenser discovered and perfected by Einstein's successor, Mr. Harold Elsen, As a result the cloud immedi- ately condensed and Commander Olson with his staff of officers among which the most prominent were Karl Claes, john Peterson, George Niday and Hubert Thompson, began a seventeen thousand mile drop toward the earth. But unfortunately, as luck would have it, a terrific wind storm was encountered at the ten thousand mile elevation which completely altered the course of the falling party so that it passed the earth in its descent. ln later years the nearer planets in the vicinity of the earth were searched but nothing was ever heard of the party. Following the disappearance of the enemy's commanders the war ended and jackson proclaimed himself dictator of the newly established country. Through the secret service of the Coolds Betterment Society, headed by Addie Barricklow, universally known as the Cops' delight, Francis Tyck, an eminent matinee idol was captured and found guilty of high treason to the new country during the war. He was sentenced to death and was executed by the chief high executioner, Carmen Olson. Miss Olson was I Page 26 1
