Dear Captain Bill—We are organizing a new lodge in ’Frisco to be known as the “Ancient Order of Modern Cavemen.” Will you kindly suggest a motto for our lodge? Yours truly—Rough on Cats.
My suggestion is: “Catch ’em young; treat ’em rough, and tell ’em nothin’.”

Dear Captain Billy—Why do they use castor oil in racing automobiles and aeroplanes?—Eunice.
To make them run, of course, Eunice.

Dear Bilious Billy—What would you write about if the country went wet again and you didn’t have the dry reformers to poke fun at and kid about?—Reginald Pewter.
We cannot tell a lie—we wouldn’t be able to write during the first few weeks.
