Nobodys Business By GEE McGEE HIS LETTER 'OreenviUe. 8. C„ April 3. 1932 Gee McGee. Anderson, 8. C. Deer Oee: I have been wondering for some time but can’t figure out Just what a Hoover democrat tl Will you please write a few lines and give me your idea as to what you think SHE Is? yores truly Mack. M» ANSWER Dear Mack: There are two distinct types ol Hoover democrats, female and male. There are 5 different klntla of Hoover democrats, vizziy: Baptist. Methodist. Presbyterian, A R. Pres byterian and Foot Washers. The main reason why most of these conscientious church mem bers voted for Hoover was—A1 Smith was not only a Catholic— that In Itself being at least 15 rea sons—but he was a wet Catholic at that. Nobody meant any harm voting tor Mr. Hoover. There wasn't any body else to vote for nfter A1 told them which church he belonged to: They knew all the time that A1 would make a better president than Mr. Hoover, but think of the Pope of Rome sending him word every day what to do (That's what they heard down south). &>, Mack, it’s this way; A Hoover democrat Is a* lady or gentleman who takes her or his religious proc livities seriously. Politics didn’t cau«e our old, true and tried demo crats to vote wrong. They knew that, :*lr. "Hoover would keep church and qtote separate. Nobody ever thought to ask Mr. Hoover which church, if any, he belonged to—until after the election. t lots of good men and good wo men (democrats by Dlrth .nature, instinct. Inclination, an^ habit, vot ed for Mr. Hoover. Some of them still. think Mr .Hoorn does vary well to be an engineer and with no o.ne to help him except republicans. Why, have you noticed how much better he has been getting along since he got a bunch of fine demo crats in congress? That's all he needed to hurry on his prosperity program. Let's all encourage him jUll next March—when Mr. Roose velt will take over the "reigns”—or mebbe Ritchie or Baker. “Poor lit tle Hoover-lte don' you cry: you'll be a democrat buy-and-buy.” That's poctiy). Vow friend. Tlee McGee. V . First Reader Lesson No. 1. ; O, see the farmer! He Is out In the field with a mule. The mule, is ^pulling the plow while the farmer puahes. He is laying off a furrow to plant some cotton seed in. Watch the mule sweat as the far mer pertpires. The mule seems tired and worn out. His ribs are sore from rubbing against the backhand on the outside and nothing on the in side. The mule can not eat cotton. What I* in the sack at the end of the row? That is pine needles the farmer has raked up to use in I^ace of guano which he can not buy as hefhas no money. Why does he not have money? The guano man got it when he sold his cotton last faU. What Is the man going to plant In the field across the road? He will plant that field In cotton too. What will he plant behind the barn and la his other fields? He will plant them in cotton also. Can the farmer eat cotton? O. no. Cotton w made to sell and it can not be eaten. Has the farmer a cow and a pig? No, he has no cow and pig—he planted only cotton last year and cows and pigs do not eat cotton. Why does he plant cotton instead of com? He can always sell* cot ton and get some money to buy gasoline and tires with And he' thinks he will get a high price for tils cotton so's he can buy plenty feed for h# mule. Why Is he planting so much cot ton this year while it is so cheap? Because he thinks everybody but himself will reduce tnelr cotton acreage and he will get rich. Will the rest of the farmers reduce their acreage? No, they will expect the rest of th^ farmers to do that. Has the farmer got good sense? Yes, the farmer has good sense about everything except cotton. Does he know he is a fool when he plants his*entire acreage cotton? No. he ttjjfiks he Is smarter than the ether farmer*. ' Is the fanner poor? Yes. Why is he poor? Cotton. Does he know that all cotton and no , grain will keep him poor? Yes. Thei. why does he keep < n doin-r the same thing over end <wpi?
