Our appeal to Santa Claus last week brought no results and now we are going to give up--not even going to make any New Year resolutions. We have been deceived. As the bitter tears burn our faded cheeks -and the sharp shaft of disappointment 134--447 pierces our aching breast, when all 125--375 our army of- razzers (the rats) have 122--366 deserted the sinking ship and got 90--270 sway with the only remaining lifeboat, leaving us to perish, there remains but one salvation--surrender to the enemy. It's hard to take! We realized that only too well this very afternoon when we presented to him our broken sword. On bended knee we begged his for* giveness for starting this rival col* umn. What did he do? With a contemptuous smile on his face, a look of scorn spreading over his hideous countenance, he threw back his stooping shoulders and shouted, "So 1 Hear." Oh, that gloating look in his beady eyes will linger with us to our dying day. Thoroughly crushed by his miserable attitude, we struggled to pull our prostrate form to a half-dignified position and started to wish him a "Happy New Year," but the beautiful 119 447 word» came only in a faint whisper 14g 4^8; and were unheard. Not even that customary "So I Hear" bubbled forth from his raspy throat. However, as he strode from the office a change came over his facial features and he shouted, as he slammed the door, "Victory is sweet. You Along with defeat come many re- Igrets. We had hoped to give our ' 1 eaders the real facts about that mys- ' terious club, being organized by the , RFC. Perhaps it is just aa well though that the expose be never pub* lished. We lest a faithful contributor when the "Lone Ranger" took to the road on his white horse, "Silver." His "Hi, Yo," might have turned the tide of battle. Desertions in our army were numerous and that's bad stuff. Among them could be mentioned a government agent, a barber (who joined, but never reported for duty), a co-operative leader, three or four drug clerks, a telephone lineman, public utility men, and last, but not least, a young automobile-salesman--others also ran. And, now, " Mr. So I Hear," we hope you will enjoy this page all to yourself during the coming year. If anyone ever attempts to steal your thunder again and push you around from column to column, just remember that any assistance we can render, weak aa it may be, will be cheerfully given. Maybe you could use some New Year resolutions. Just resolve from now on to be "Kinder to your enemies," "Generous with your victinui," "iMeek among the farmers," ° J "Fair with your policy holders," "True to your contributors."
