GOOFY TO HIM
ThIk Is tho gooflost war I'vo over
noon or road about, hh far an our
aide Ih concerned, especially here In
those Disunited States. I'm kept gog
kJo eyed and punch drunk from llst
en In* to tho news tryln' to find out
wIiiiI'h going on and how many rutin
our hI?1 o Ih vhalkln' up. ItoHt of tho
tlmo I Mot with a cold towel around
my head lo get my mind cleared for
tho next iiowh bout.
It's taken mo about six tnonthH to
flgger HiIh thing out ami I may bo
wrong, but It appear* to mo what
we're Uoln' Is raisin' two big armies?J
one a tlghtln' army made up of men'
armed with guns and tanks and airplancH
and a aocoud army niado up'
of workin' men to make tho gun*
and tanks and airplane* for the fight-j
In' army. We've already drafted the .
lirst army and put 'em to tlghtln' a
little hit and got a lot of tho other*.
Kiiardltf Important hases and strategic i
points. We pay the lowest price feller J
In the tlghtln' army $5<) a month and
we don't let 'em observe tho union'
hours of eight a day nor pay 'em
overtime when they tight.
We've been huvlu' a lot of trouble
raisin' our workin' army. Its not a
draft army and It's really three armies,
one known as AFL, (ienerul William
Green, commamlin'; CIO Army,
Gen. Phil Murray, commandln', and
n sort of a cow milkin' outfit, also
claimiu' to he a CIO army, commanded
by (leii. John L. Lew he
I understand the President doesn't
like so many armies and that ho
doesn't like (5 e n era 1 Lewis' outfit, HO
he and (ieneral ("Jreen and General
Murray have kind of ganged up on
General Lewis and are tryln' to glvo
him the gate and get his other men
in the other two armies. The great
headache in consolidat In' General
?Green's finny?with Gelleru! Murray'#
uruiy Is that each one wants to ho
the four-star gtmeral that will command
tho whole outfit unci neither
one has a* yet stepped hack, polite
like, and said: "After you, my dear
Alphonsc."
I understand our tlghtln' army generals
like Mai-Arthur and Marshall
and the other top notchers get $8,000
a year but Generals Green, Murray
?
and Low la and a flock of these labor
army generals got $25,000 a year and
a big expense account to boot.
There seems to have been a lot
of trouble In gettln' thin labor army
organized. They won't accept volunteers
In any of theae armies unless
the poor Kink can dlK up a membership
fee as high as $100 or more and
then pay a few dollars of his pay
every month foi the privilege of workin'
In the labor generals' armies. If
the poor Kink moves from one place
where he has been workln' to another
lie has to start all over again and
pay another membership duos. It's
hard on the poor gink but labor generals
must live In stylo and some
of them maintain racin' stables and
all this costs a lot of potatoes.
We hear a lot of talk about a second
front In Europe, but to a hillbilly
looks like we have given Hitler already
a second front goln' pretty well right
here.?C. Browning Smith in the Charlotte
Observer.

MR. 8LIM CHANCE, UK., ?? TALKINQ
ABOUT OPENING UP A SECOND
FRONT ON HIS FARM
?mr. bllm chance, sr., la t*till thlnkipg
ubout opening up a second front on
IiIh crop of cotton and coin, which he
plnnted In march, aprll and may. at
which time he opened up the Hist
front.
hIIui and his wife und 4 boys have
hell meeting ufter meeting to discuss |
opening up ?,fecont-front on the cot-1
ton field behlng the burn, but they j
have newer agreed that the time wan,
ripe for such a froitt. they have ullso|
talked ubout dally about opening up
a. aocoul-frout on thu corn patch In
the bottoms, but no decision has benn
reached.
?inre. chance has argued that It will
be to late to open up a seeont-front
on unny part of the cropa If they don't,
open It at once. gen. green graaa and
mujor-genoral jtmaon weeds h^ve alreddy
blllzkrelged Aru the beat portion
of the cotton und they aeem to
have put a plncer movement about the
corn.
?mr. chance and hla boya have benn
getting reddy for this aecont-front
for 3 montha, but they can't agree
which Held to atrike at first, ao they
meet and adjourn and then meet and
adjourn again, they have plenty of
toola to begin thla aecont-front with,
but It aoeina more pleasant to meet
and tulk about it than It do to actually
open It.
?mr. chance's 4 boya aay that If their
paw will wait long enough, u aecontfront
mought not be" necessary, the
hot sun will kill the weeds and graaa I
and thus have a up rising in their |
own ranks, mr. chance haa called an-1
other aecont-front meeting for next|
tueaday, allao one for next thuraday;)
and if they don't agree at anny of j
these meetings aa to when the said
front will take place, another meeting
will be hell the following monday.
the nabors have all worked out
their cropa and lakl them by; they
started aecont and third and fourth
fronts when their cropa needed such
fronts, they haven't had time to talk
about auch fronts: they have fought
their enemies (grass, weeds and Insects)
every day.

do It without the need for such cauulng
