Secretary of War Baker tells a story of a country youth who was driving
to the county fair with his sweetheart when they passed a booth where
fresh popcorn was for sale.
"My! Abner, ain't that nice?" said the girl.
"Ain't what nice?" asked Abner.
"Why, the popcorn, it smells so awfully good," replied the girl.
"It does smell kind o' fine," drawled the youth. "I'll jest drive a
little closer so you can get a better smell."
