FITZGERALD’S
DICTIONARY
■J
PETTIT
Assessor-Collector, Comanche County
Comanche, Texas ^——
Si
In which Joe Fttxgeraia defines
words as he sees them.
HUSTLE: A word.:that comes In
the dictionary before success.
INVESTIGATOR: A fellow who
examines the locks and the; door
after the horses are stolen. If
all the Investigators were laid
end to end I would be In favor
of letting them lie there. , —
STATUE: The funniest -.evidence
of the fqlly of the imaginary
great. It is an acknowledgment I
of the power nature has over
the greatest strutter that ever
strutted. *
SOLDIER VOTE: Some misun-
derstood my definition when I|
said it was a scheme to make 1
dictators out of ' scoundrels
Well, they don’t allow, soldiers
to write h6me about the soldier
vote, apt even to congressmen.
In that case the powers in the
saddle can make a vote count
for very little.
HEMP: A material that may be
in great demand after the war.
It will be used to arrange things
so a man can stand on nothing1
BUTTER' A part of a cow you
can eat without killing the cow.
It is different to a man—the
older It gets the stronger it is.
Many years ago I had a pecu-
liar encounter with- a pound of
butter on the table. It seemed
clothed In deep thought; also
it looked gloomy and resentful.
1 stuck my knife fco tt and Jt
jumped out of the dish and hit |
me on -the head with the cream j
pitcher. A Joke has recently 1
been - played on citizens of i
America. Some English mer-!
chants bought half a million'
pounds of bhtter from Argen-;
Una and shipped It,to„England.
Wh^h- it reached England the j
English said it had a “barnyard'' j
flavor. It was too strong to kive j
the starv ing in Europe in their,
weakened condition. So Sit, was
decided to ship it back to Am- I
erica for the citizens of this
country. It seems this has creat-
ed quite a resentment in Ameri-
ca against the Arentine. If we
get in a war with . Argentina i
' J want the privilegevof naming
■ the war. I will call It "TheJ,
Rancid Butter War,'*’-*--——r—^
FALSE PROMISE: The promise
that was made - to .soldiers pf
Bataan to send them aid and
then not send it Then to keep
their death a secret for two t
years to appease someone's con-
science.
