BCXLETIJi BOARD OF JAMBES POST AMERICAN LEGION The publicity chairman of the Jam bes Post is in receipt of the follow ing letter that Is, in itself, sufficient reason that now Is the time for all sensible Legionnaires to file their Ad justed Compensation Claims. Read It and then fill out your claim without FURTHER DELAY. Dear Buddy : I reset. ved your notise of the fact thet onlest our papers is rilled out to once, we air libel to cawse our benny fisheries a grate loss when they loae us both financially and endearlingly, and I tried my level best to git mine filled out last Sat, but It were in vane. I is what I calls a Agricultural Demmycrat. By thet I mean thet I is a Honest Tiller of the Soil, whereas a? Agricultural Republican is a Dis honest Soiler of the Till, Jedging frum the Teapot Dome Scandal. To yuse a everyday zpression I be a farm er. Well, last Sat. I went to Louisburg to git Sam Boddie to fill out my Ad-' Justed Con pensatior Claim, ai d to git a hair cu?. i de.-iided to git .1 hair cut both on my foce and head first. I kaint git to town cept on Sat. cause I am too busy endurin the week pickln cotton and strlppin tabaccer to sell on the best market in this hear sec tion, sed market bein Louisburg. I togather with a shop full uv other busy men (I counted twenty two bootleg gers in thar) had come to town to git our fortnitely tonsorial tribulations olleviated, and we had had all waited like our creditors, that Is to say a blamed long time. Suddenly auto sug gestun told me that I needed a bath, so 1 guv up my place in the line uv torture and retired to the slower bath. I give my shoes to the boot black and told him to make Sunday Shoes outen my every day ones by applyln that air stuff called Nu Shine. I thot thet by leavin my shoes thusly, I wood save a few minutes time, I thought. After I had trod my weary way inch by inch in my bear feet over a yard of live coals in front of the stove, I arrived at the bawth. After a inter mittent serease of fust scaldin hot and then ice cold water, I emerged to en. ter the shop and git trimmed up fer Sunday. When I started through the curtain pertition, I spied a covey of female gals in the barber shop, and thar I wuz in my socks with no shoes to putt on. It took an hour of broad castin to git tj)e boot blacks attention and recover my dog houses. After three more hours waitin I got a seat in a chair presided over by a neer wit. He said thet a barber in the next chair to him had a lady customer thet wanted a neck shave, and his friend didn't no how to shave a ladies neck, so he told him'ef he couldnt do It to let Clem Shaver. While laffln at his Jestful alibi, he clicked my neck with his clippers. I had got one forth of my hair cot and the barber had emtied his apron twist, when In comes Bill Overdue's grand ma to git her hair bobbed. T surrendered my seat to her, and waited another hour fer her to deslde whuther to git a boyish bob er a Dutch Cut. I felt like I was the one glttln dutched but dldnt say nuthln but I shore was glad thet she warnt a mind reader. I read the Ladles Home Journal, whilst a flapper In the next chair red the Police Oazette, and a little gnrl six yrs. old on the tother side uv me wuz readln Whiz Bangs. I resumed my -seat after two ours, and after the barber choked me half to death with the apron ( I was reward ed by glttin my locks shorn. Then I was laid ont fer a shave. Just as I was all lathered and purty well fed np on soap, In comes a K. O. Brunette, and onct more I done the Sir Walter Raleigh act and glv np my seat. She sot down and sed, "Ma Sells Waves." He replied, sayln "Nom, she Mil* flab." I still acted prelite and iaffed. She sot, and axed fur a Water Wave. Well, two men hi the chairs next to her was per il te enuf to swallow there chewln to baccer, when she set down, and purty soon they got so sea sick a watcbln her git a water wave and digestln of the terbaccer, that they had to be took to the doc?<#s office. By now I had missed my supper, and had de slded thet ef the women kept com in tn and takln my chair, 1 would die I of old age or starve to death, before I I could gat my Adjusted Compensation Claim filled out. I had Jes got all set agin and wjs peeping out (rum under the lather, when I saw a purty lalg clad In slk, peepin out (rom under a grey serge skirt. Boy, I jumped out uv thet chair determined to give the own er o f that leg every chair in the shop ef she wanted it. When I had bowed and ottered her my seat, and got so I could see, I was shore knocked cold The owner of the beauty pin was one of these hear durnded female hees, with its socks rolled, and dressed in ballon breeches. But for spilin my war record I wud a bumped him off on general principles. Finally I got out 11 P. M. with ten miles of bad roads in front of me. I had donated $1.75, three square inch es of skin, and had been stuck in the left eye by the barbers fraternity pip whut he got at the Barbers College where he grajewated. When I reach ed my Ford the night cop was waitln fer me and pulled me fer leavin my dumb beast parked fer 11 hours in one place. I tried to explain to him how come it, when he smelt the blamed hair tonick thet the Smart Alex had insisted on baptisin me with, and he arrested me again fer being drunk offeA distilled persimmon brandy. He then grafted me fer $27.00 additional, which wuz all that 1 had left, but I was mighty glad to git away frum town and back to nature. Still I hadnt had time to fill out my forms fer my Adjusted Compensation Insurance. When I got home my Old Lady was settin up awaitin fer me. She wuld not listen to my explanation of the Oil Scapdal on My Dome, no more than listened to Doiteriea, but Insisted I had been to the Demmycratic Conven tion. Well, she pulled out what few hairs on my haid that the barber miss ed, and ever sense I hav bin spendin $2 per week fur hair restorer, what that same barber sells me. Now, buddy, ef you has any influince in Louisburg, pleese ax the ladies to git their barberin done on Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., Fri., and fur the sake ot us pore workin folks, leave us one day In the week, namely Sat., when we can come to town and git our business tended too, and OUR barberin done. Comrade, we sympathise with you fully, but try it again and the next time get your Adjusted Compensation Blank filled out FIRST. The time is getting shorter, if your hair is not, and we are apparently more enxlous to fill out every Ex-Service man's blank ir our county, than they are anxious to get them filled out. Just remember that: So the wise folks say, a stitch in time, will save nine, But tomorrow is NOT today. We are anxious and willing to fill out all of them. Yours for promptness, THE JAMBES POST.
