And how about a ship load of 'dry' gasoline? We heard that you had struck oil 'in Iraq, and if you could spare even 1,000,000,000 gallons of gas to keep our Fords running a little bit faster, you'd be doing us a kindness that would never be forgot, j If we can get enough help to keep our cars a-going?and just a fewj old clothes to last us till the next| MJ.. 1 -ll-jegg5gttBB"ll 111 lit iLU '-L,?-jL.U gLXJu. - J -1?? election, we'll be all right.

Now, Armenia Pear: We folks in' the south ain't in need of very much help, but the Yankees, that is ?the rich folks up north, are gradually learning how the gentle touch of poverty feels, so send them some stuff first, and after they are "relieved," you all may send us anything you might have left. You could put on a Big Drive for money to send us and we wouldn't think it amiss. That's what we did for you. You "Near East" folks recall how, good we were to you during your hunger and lamentation; therefore, you should return tit for tat. We sincerely hope that you will "go over the top" in our behalf, and by all means-?send some cash to Chicago for the school teachers, and 'lest I forget?1 wear a No. 0 shoe, a No. 7 hat, a No. 15 collar, and any sise old clothes will fit me now?just so's they will hang on.
