Town Kickers—The kickers on the

as the kickers in town, On the farm
there is the kicking cow and our long-
eared friend the mule, while in town
there is the old mossback who wants
all the municipal improvements with-
out paying for them. The cow may
be sold for beef, the mule traded for a
shotgun, but nothing but a funeral will
get rid of the town kicker, (Ed. note:
Times and customs may change but
kickers are the same in 1947—public
nuisance No. 1.)

ters to Great Britain, Egypt and all
parts of the Britian Empire, except

possible.
