Koldfeef s Predictions Come True and
Denver Suffers Weather Palpitations
■_ +■
Just as the enquiring reporter
was despairing of getting Profes-
sor Koldfeet's weekly letter on the
subject of weather, there came to
him. a bulky package .marked
"Fragile; either handle with care
or don't handle!" The package
was wrapped with' red 'wrapping
paper- The return address was as
follows: "Professor Koldfeet and
Company-Consolidated Weather
Bureau Company, Inc., 345' West
-Huntington Avenue, Zerotown,
Idaho." With trembling hands the
reporter unwrapped the package,
which turned out to be just a let-
ter, and a one-pager at that. Loads
of paper, confetti, cardboard and
weather has there been such frea-
portation, with a total postage cost
: of more than $10.
- The contents of the letter as re-
vealed by the reporter are as fol-
lows (The reader will please bear
with the eccentric style of Kold-
feet, who flunked all his college
courses in journalism):
' "Dear Reporter: My friends
back in StephenviUe, I am saved
it last from the horrors of hunger.
I . owe my present happy situation
not to Cousin Horace, who acted
most rude, but to a kindly set of
gentlemen Here in Zerotown,
Idaho, who are thoroughly iji ac-
cord with my weatherigtic formu-
lae.
"But I know you are eager to
hear my story. After leaving Cou-
sin Horace-last week, I set out im-
mediately northward, where I fig-
ured the ^climate would be warmer.
I had not been gone more than a
couple of days on my journey 'be-
fore I read the following newspa-
per article which very nobly bears
out my little predictoscope's pre-
dictions. 'Never in the history of
Denver, have been experiencing
here of late. A1L t h er mo me t e r s have
Denver have been exprincing here
of late. All thermometers have
long since1 been demolished by the
rapid changes in temperature. In
the vicinity of one Horace Kold-
feet Farm, for instance, the tem-
perature rose and fell more than
one hundred degrees- in less than
five minutes. Trees budded with
the ice hardly .melted pn their
branches; people gathered wood
for fires only to find the thermome-
ter past the (century marker ;
swimmers found themselves sud-
denly in icy waters; in fact, the
changes are' so rapid that many
; people are : hiring valets to carry
overcoats, mufflers, t and gloves
around with them s(o that they
will not be totally unprepared."'
The Professor continued "If you
* will remember, only last week I
predicted that such would be the
case in the vicinity of Denver. Bat
' no, they wouldn't listen to me, and
now they're having to take the
consequences. . . .. After I had
tramped far north into Idaho, and
almost to Canada, I arrived at the
little town of Zerotown, where I
have been ever since. Shortly after
my arrival here, I met a couple of
fine, intelligent, old -gentlemen of
about the same age who are mak-
ing weatheristic experiments in
, this part of the country. Able, and
Cable soon became my devoted fol-
lowers, and it was not long until
we decided to set up the Profes-
sor Koldfeet and Company Con-
solidated Weather Bureau Com-
pany, Inc. They invested their
► money. I invested my talents,
Soon we plan to solicit share hold-
ers in order that we may expand
into a nationally known orga-
nization., I shall write further de-
velopments next week. Sincerely,
Professor Koldfeet."

bies won over others by a margin
of three" to 6ne, and only one of the
questioned students refused to ad-
mit which, method he used. The
most alarming fact found was that
60 per cent of the students know
and sing "The Music Goes Round
and Round."

When Grandma Was A Girl
When Grandma was a miss,
She didn't paint her face;
She never smoked a cigarette,
She always knew her place.
She didn't wear her dresses

She didn't shock the world at
large, '
She didn't chase the "He's."
She didn't for auto rides
Way back in eighty seven;
She didn't do a>Iot of things
To keep her- out .of "Heaven.
She didn't do a lot of things
Her conscience wouldn't allow,
And since she couldn't do1 them
then—
That's why she does them now.

This picture shows how the Jamestown
Cobnuts exchanged tobacco for brides.
They paid "120 pounds of the best leaf"
for transportation ofeach future tiiifewho
cams to the New IVorld from England.
JL 1936
And here is a picture of the modern (Mo-
tion warehouse of today where the same
type of leaf tobacco is sold on the open
market to the highest bidder. ■

Ihere is no substitute for mild, ripe tobacco to
make a good cigarette—and there never will be
;
... and that is the kind we buy for Chesterfield Cigarettes.
In the tobacco buying sea-
son Liggett Sc Myers Tobac-
co Company buyers will be
found at 75 markets where
the Bright type of tobacco
is sold, and 46 markets where
Burley and other types of to-
bacco are sold.
All these tobacco men are
trained in the tobacco busi-
ness, and are schooled in the
Liggett & Myers tradition
that only mild, ripe tobacco
is good enough for Chester-
field Cigarettes.
