" You think you have problems? While walking down the water front the other morning, some one hollered, Hello Captain Jer ry." There behind a building were seven men, most of whom I knew and they were all having the same trouble. It seems that there must have been a big party going on the day before, and these seven men all needed a drink, but bad. Now they had two problems: first it being 7:15 a.m. and it had to get 7:30 because that was when a store would open that sold wine; and second, they had to raise one buck, which the cheapest bottle costs. Now these boys were in bad shape and they turned on their charms to any and all who would listen. When I got there they al ready had 21 cents, but the min utes were flying by fast, so they went to work on me. What an experience! They men tioned all my friends that they had at one time or another bor rowed a bit from for other occa sions, (seems that this happens quite frequently), and went into great detail about how it was paid back promptly, with everyone backing up the spokesman of the moment. Now to raise the amount for the first bottle is the major problem; their resistance is so lowered at that time of the morning, with a head as big as all outdoors, but after that first bottle, and every one has had one, then that inner glow gives them more sparkle and personality and the second bottle is much easier to promote, and so it goes all day. Only trouble is, of course, that tomorrow morning always comes. Now 1 have often wondered why men will drink wine, so I asked them. Well, the answer was that wine can be bought when whis key can't, at earlier hours that is, and of course it's cheaper. Now I asked, "Do you like wine?" The answer in a chorus was, "No, whiskey. But no whis key, then wine, beer, or what have you in that order." Now this was such an entertaining and en lightening experience, that I con tributed 50 cents and believe me, it was better than any movie that I have spent a like amount on in years! Now they had another victim on the string. I knew he was going to contribute because he winked at me, but they didn't. What a hassel passel! Well anyway, at one minute to 7:30 he gave in, so they had their buck and off to the store went the one most trusted and nimble-footed. Now all they had to do was sweat out that terrible three or four minutes 'til he got back and Oie world would suddenly be come all right again. You think you have problems? Harvey and Betty Hamilton have two dogs. One oi them is just ? pup, so Harvey said, "Jerry, isn't he beautiful?" Looked like just another mutt to me. Well anyway, this dog just came back from a training period of three months, cost him $45 per month, or a grand total of some $150, including pos tage. Now this is all right. I realize that dogs, like humans, need train ing, especially Harvey, excuse me his dog. So Harvey said, "Here, (1 forgot what his name was), COME here!" Well this mutt sleeps on. So alter much hand slapping and feet stamping, the mutt raises one ear and opens his eyes, but doesn't move another muscle, looking at Harvey as much as to say, "Take a powder bub, you're bothering me." So then, after finally getting this animal awake and on its feet, comes the climax of all the expen sive training. "Now show Jerry how you can shake hands." Well I got news for you, dear reader, this mutt will never make a politician! Anyway, 45 minutes later, when Harvey had forked himself into a lather, he finally got What's His Name to give the left paw when the right one was pleaded for. Maybe Harvey should have gone away for the training? Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 1. Injur* & Engage for service 9 Brazilian timber tree 12. Region 13. Grandson of Eve 14. Twice five 1$. Pouch 16.
