These harmonized and sent away,
Lord Did-More finished up his day
By focusing his cosmic brain
On our political campaign.

And night and morning, thro' the land,
The public prints at his command
Proclaimed, in type that fairly burst,
The doughty deeds of Did-More Hearst.

THE SECOND POST.

[From a genius in Geneseo, Ill.]

Dear sir: I am the champion Cornhusker I have given exhibitions in
different places and theater managers and moveing picture men have asked
me why I dont have my show put into moves (Film). I beleave it would
make a very interesting Picture. We could have it taken right in the
Cornfield and also on the stage. It would be very interesting for farmer
boys and would be a good drawing card in small towns. I beleave we could
make 1000 feet of it by showing me driveing into the field with my extra
made wagon. then show them my style and speed of husking and perheps let
a common husker husk a while. I could also give my exibition on the
stage in a theater includeing the playing of six or eight different
Instruments. For instence when I plow with a traction engine or tresh I
also lead bands and Orchestra's.

Mr. Shanks voxpops that traffic should be relieved, not prevented, as
"the automobile is absolutely important in modern business life." Now,
the fact is that the automobile has become a nuisance; one can get about
much faster and cheaper in the city on Mr. Shanks' w. k. mare. Life
to-day is scaled to the automobile, whereas, as our gossip Andy Rebori
contends, it ought to be scaled to the baby carriage. Many lines of
industry are short of labor because this labor has been withdrawn for
the care of automobiles.
