ember 21, 1918 Drawa by Caveat Suan F—Stanps ror Future anp Atso For Finis The Truth About Truth By Dovctas Matrocu OME women don’t come in on the offering but are glad to add their mite to the story that is passed around after service. Some of us make sure of our facts before speaking, but most of us only that we cannot be contradicted. The only way to, lie successfully is first to build up a reputation for telling the truth. One reason why the liar gets away with it is because the liar is generally a better fellow. The truth is mighty and shall prevail, but the truth is mighty slow prevailing. The truth is not always welcome, but few slam the door in the face of flattery. The man who always tells the truth has hard work getting himself be- lieved. A stone gathers mo- mentum, a snowball size, as it rolls—a story both. Truth crushed to earth may rise again, but look at the darned thing. Telling the truth may not shame the devil but it must surprise him. Many a person who won’t give to a beggar is glad to give a lift to a lie. Few men are as good or women as bad as it is said they are. You must thresh a lot of straw to get a grain of truth. Few things are told as happened, and none retold. Men have been hanged by liars who believed themselves. Better look ahead at a hope than back at a fact. Truth is stranger than fiction, in fact, unusual. Nothing is lost by repetition, except a reputation. You are somewhat of a liar to believe a lie. The biggest liar in the world is They Say. There is more truth than people believe. Scandal is a lie with the poison added. Dreams are the lovely liars of night. If figures don’t lie why corsetieres? Lips may lie, but cheeks talk truth.

Some unsolicited letters from soldiers at home end “Over There.” A Gloom Disperser Dear Sir: Just a few lines of congratula- tion on behalf of my soldier friends and my- self in the 64th Balloon Co. who read your magazine from the first to the last page, so full of witty sayings and good jokes. JupcE is really the best monotony driver and gloom disperser we find. My brother has been one of your subscribers since 1914 and he sends me his copy every week. When the mail train is delayed most every one of my soldier friends knows it because they miss the magazine which I read to our boys after the day’s toil is done. Keep up the good work. I’d like you to put in an extra line or two in your magazine to encourage all of your subscribers to send JUDGE to our boys in the U. S. A. and “over there.” I thank you. Private Henry J. CONTRERAS, 64th Balloon Co., Arcadia, Cal. They Fight For It Dear Sir: A copy of your magazine found its way into my company and the fellows were almost fighting one another to get it next. Jupce is the most appreciated publication in this neck of the woods. We like the “Tent and Deck” page. PrIvaTE JosePH Kowatska, Co. B, 125th Inf., A. P. O., 734, A. E. F., France. On Top Dear Sirs: I am one of your regular sub- scribers in New York City, but being now in England with the British Army I sort of miss the week’s fun, except when I am lucky enough to get mine from the folks at home. The boys enjoy JupGE very much and are always eager to listen to the jokes on the soldiers’ page. . . . Junce is the most popular American magazine in this camp. I have had all the rest and a vote was taken which showed my favorite on top. Private H. W. Rosi, 159901, A.C., ath Platoon, M (Grad.)
