"Real English hothouse peaches ... and ob- serve, my dear, the Cunard Line serves them with the proper preciousness. Each one wrapped in cotton wool, as the slight- est touch would make a bruise... they are so delicate. And that juiciness and quite special flavour... very superior... very superior...” You see, he was a May Sinclair Divine . .. and he knew his peaches. The Cunard Line takes its peaches with the utmost seriousness and pursues them through all the seasons and to all corners of the globe. The Yuletide brings in the first peaches from South Africa...

Great things could be accomplished by this means, not the least of which will be the restoration of popular interest in national problems," Mr. Rogers, who has already begun a political career as mayor of Beverly Hills, good-will am- bassador to foreign countries and special delegate to all conventions, has already proved of immense value to the nation. His daily comments on political questions, humorous as most of them are, have a foundation of firm common sense that their witty setting only makes more im- pressive. There is no reason why Will Rogers should not be given a governmental position where his saving grace of humor might be of the utmost value. For instance, if he is not elected Presi- dent, his presence on the Senate floor might do much to make that august body less august and more common-sensical, Again we ask in all seri- ousness, why not? —Wilmington (N. C.) News. * AN INSULT A canpipare for President on the no-bunk ticket, Will Rogers deals in just about as much bunk as the average politician. There is a great deal of bunk in him when he ulks about agriculture. In his lecture at Cedar Falls he remarked that there would be no agricultural problem if the farmer would ‘go to work."” The other day, in winding up his views, sent from his old home town in Oklahoma, he remarked that if there were no new automobiles made this year the farmer would be out of debt this fall. Will Rogers rode range at one time. He was a cowboy. He knew how to ride a horse. He knew how to throw a lasso. He knew how to round up the cattle on the range. But he knows nothing about farming. If he were around here for a time he would not deliver himself of the bunk that the farmer takes his breakfast in bed; or the bunk that the farmer is riding around in his automobile when he should be working. When debunking is going around, Will should be one of the first subjects. —Waterloo (lowa) Times-Tribune. LAUGH IT OFF Henry Foro says he’s serious about supporting Will Rogers for President—but some of us think that's the biggest Ford joke yet. —Camden (Ark.) Beacon-Herald. HANDICAPS I've read my paper outdoors With the east wind blowing; I've talked of secret matters With the radio going. I've written rhythmic subletics And metrical tales While a lady in the next room Was practicing scales, I've explained the hidden humor Of Mutt and Jeff To a Japanese clergyman Who was very deaf. I've addressed a letter To a friend's abode While my flivver was detouring On a temporary road. And I've done a dreariness More futile than all— I've made love to Polly While she dreamed of Paul! —Ted Robinson, in Cleveland Plain Dealer Dw it ever strike you that your smoking taste might need a little first aid? A little health- ful help? Surely, sometimes, that taste gives you warning that it does. Just a bit of prevention adds such a lot to smoking en- joyment—just the daily use of Squibb’s Dental Cream. It fights destructive acids, keeps the delicate tissues healthy, and leaves your mouth pleas- antly soothed. The minute, clinging particles of the Milk of Magnesia it contains, keep your breath sweet and react to prevent your smoking taste from growing sullen and wa disgruntled. The next time you buy your favorite smoke, buy a first aid kit of Squibb’s. That “ounce of prevention” will put a new delight in smoking. Guard The Danger Line © 1928 by E. R.
