DOUBLING VOI R MONEY "* j Dear Mister Editor: II you stop to think about it. ■ people is mighty queer. They get in a rut, fall in behind the leader, and stay there. They all wear the -ante style elothes, git the same kind of haircut. They all have to have a old-fashioned lamppost or a wagon wheel at the driveway, all have to have a picture window. It's a mighty pretty thing if it looks out on anything that is pret t.\. like a wooded hillside or a nice sh pe or lawn. But most of them look out on a busy street, a brick j wall, or the neighbor's clothes j line People iust don’t think.! Everybody has a picture window! so they got to have one We fol low the same rut in polities, re ligion. and most all walks of life. That.'- -ere ■1 never had much faith in Eist-nho. er winning the election People stay in the rut until some great disaster fetches them into doing a little, thinking of their own I heard some of the Wimmen folk saying that dresses was to be: longer this winter. They didn't say longer on which end. Both ends could do with a little morel cloth. Ed Doolittle was lamenting the fact that he could have doubled lus money if he had knovved how the election was coming out I've always found that the best way l > double your money is to fold it over and put il back in your pocket.
