TEXAS FARM AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS
E.P. COLE’S GROUCH AT
SALESMANSHIP CLUB
title holder of sugar land is
PEEVED AT A VISITOR.
Ford Car Figures in Feud and Local
Poet Attempts to Set Matters Right
by Setting Them to Rhyme.
E. P. Cole who traffics in a little bit
of everything, from Sugarland Indus-
tries to titles, and who takes high rank
as a practical .ioker, has been wearing
a lean and hungry, peeved and peaked
appearance for several days. Appar-
ently as Friday night dr * v r.Fit his
pique .increased, until finally his friends
began to associate his state of mind
with the Houston Salesmanship club’s
Sugar Land date. By using the deduc-
tive r.thods made plain by Sherlock
Holmes and Hr. Watson it was possible
to arive at the cause of -Cole’s com-
plaint.
It seems a member of the club recent-
ly sold Cple a car, of the kind that has
been the butt of many a ,jokp; one of
that variety which has been eillcc' such
harsh names as ‘ ‘ Tin Lizzie and Rna i
Louse," or perambulating Cootie, if you
are a stickler for the use of polite mili-
tary phrases.
In order that the general public, :n-
cluding the Salesmanship club visitors
vnav know just how legitimate is Cole’s
indignation, the following description of
the car is given for what it is worth,
which is at least n on than the val,:_- of
the aforesaid car:
Ford Car for Sale.
One Ford car, with a piston ring,
I wo rear wheels, one front spring,
Has no fenders; seat made of plank,
Burns lots of gas; hard to crank;
Carbureter busted halfway through;
Engine missing—hits on two.
Only three yea^s old, four in Spring;
Has shock absorbers ’n everything’
Ten spokes missing, front axle bent;
All tires punctured—not worth a cen*
Got lots o’ speed, will run like the deuce
Burns either oil or tobaccrf juice.
If you want this car, inquire Within
Helluva good car for the shape it’s in.

“I’ve Got Money InThe Bank and It’s Mine’’
Over in Fiance it was common for an American soldier to spend quite a little
monev, and frequently it became necessary for a man to cash a draft on a bank
at home. This was especially the case with men separated from their organiza-
tion* and who not been paid for several long months. But cashing a check was
not the easiest thing to do in France during the stay of the A. E. F.
A certain financial institution in Paris did a large business with these Am-
erican draft eashers. A knowing old man had charge of the window, and he
was wise to American ways. The usual line of lieutenants filed before his win
dow one night, trying to get a draft honored.
One of the men s«id that his firm at “home” was rated at a half million
dollars bv large financial a*eocies; another vouched that his firm had equal
credit, and so on. Each seeker for funds was SURE that HIS draft would be
accepted, and each laid great stress on the financial rating at home of the insti-
tution drawn upon, and the excellence of the paper.
But the window teller listened without enthusiasm. He had been there before
nnd, like men going over the top, the job had lost some of its excitement for
him. Finally the last lieutenant in line came along.
"How much is your firm rated fort” he asked the man.
"I don't get vou," said the officer.
"1 suppose you have a credit for half a million in Bradstreet, the man
ventured again without suspicion in his voice.
"Nope, said the lieutenant; "lay off that stuff. I ai« t rated anywhere
that 1 know of, but I’ve got eight hundred dollars in the bank at home and it s
MINE." , (
He got his money. ...... .
That fellow cashed in on his character, where others had failed to cash in
on their connection. It’s always the way. If you can name a sum of money,
,e„t, United State, currency, and say "It’s mine," your character speaks for
itself. You are on the road that bears a finger post pointing toward success.
A bank aceount is the beginning of the highway.—Thii;d District News.
