=Mary D.=--No, Mary. Do not worry. Bank examiners will not inspect your
“First National.” I fear when we reach that day there will be more
candidates for bank examiner than for president of this good old U. S. A.

=Knuts Gazoobus=--If you are certain your pet skunk has fleas there is
but one remedy I can suggest and that is the tying of a good hefty chunk
of dynamite to the tail of the animal. I’ve been up against the polecat
of Northern Minnesota and the flea of dear old Frisco and the devil save
me from meeting both at the same time.

=Beautiful Katie=--This is the army recipe for hash: See that the dog is
a fairly fat one. Hit him over the head with an axe and allow him to boil
three hours. Chop into mince meat and mix in a lot of potatoes, onions
and sage. Serve hot. Cats take only 20 minutes.

=Dan M.=--Should you accidentally upset a cup of coffee on the
tablecloth, do not stare at it in consternation and exclaim “This is a
hell of a note!” Laugh it off pleasantly and apologize to the hostess.
* * * * *
=Daffy Dill=--Your question is rather absurd and my answer is NO, I have
never heard a porcupine for its mate. But I have seen a gopher go for a
gopher.
* * * * *
=Oliver Towne=--I can’t quite agree with you as to the world’s greatest
historical event. How about the time that Antony made a date with
Cleopatra?
* * * * *
=J. C. R.=--Yes, you are correct. The women’s wearing apparel nowadays
are held up by nothing more than a string of beads on one side and the
kindness of heaven on the other.
* * * * *
=Happy Harriet=--It is quite true that a teakettle full of water sings,
but whoinel wants to be a teakettle.
* * * * *
=James B.=--I am not positive as to the number of years the government
has been trying to obliterate moonshining in Kentucky. I do know,
however, that they’re taking in lots of territory now.

Hubby: “Let’s name our darling baby ‘Prohibition.’”
Wifelets: “I should say not. He’ll never be a ‘dry’.”
