the little cold spell suits me fine.
I didn’t believe Truman when he
Mid a few years ago that he was
going to make it hot for the Re
publicans, but he sure done it here
in the Gulch, what few of us there
are.”
“We’ll have winter all right be
fore spring comes and the base
ball season starts,” said the Man
Behind the Bar. “But what do
you know if anything. It’s been
quiet this morning, nobody drop
ping in not even to get a drink on
credit. I was sure glad to see
you, for even you are better’n
nothing. What’s going round town
or any place?”
“All I know is that some of the
Republicans have been giving
Acheson hell for trying to help
Alger Hiss out,” said the Old
Geezer. “But why shouldn’t he?
He learned it from his boss, Harry
Truman no less. You remember
how Truman stuck with Pendqr
fast when good old Tom was in
about the same spot that Hiss is
in now. Tom had sent Harry to
the U. S. Senate, politics in Mis
souri being what they were in
those days, and when U. S. Dis
trict Attorney Milligan sent Pen
dergast to the pen Harry didn’t
like it a little bit. He couldn’t do
much of anything about it until
Milligan came up for reappoint
ment and was up for confirma
tion by the Senate after Roosevelt
had named him for another four
year term.
“Well, Harry sure went to town
on that one. He did his darnedest
to have the Senate turn Milligan
down, and when some of the other
Senators wanted to know why he
had to stall around and give one
excuse or another. He said that
Milligan was from his state and
he ought to have something to say
about who should be U. S. Attor
ney. And he indicated that Milli
gan wasn’t a good Democrat, didn’t
go along with the party, which was
good old Tom. But they said that
Roosevelt wouldn’t have appoint
ed him if he wasn’t OK, and so
all the saisfaction Harry got out
of fighting Milligan was to make
himself look bad, for everybody
knew why he did it.
“Well, now don’t you think a
feller should stick with his
friends?” asked the Man in the
White Apron. “That’s what Ache
son is doing and that was just
what Truman did.”
“You’re absolutely right,” said
the Old Goof. “Harry flew out in

Elephants were getting scarce in Africa about the time of our ''
Civil War. They were slaughtered for their ivory tusks. An -3 - Xa
award of SIO,OOO was offered for a suitable substitute to replace ^k »x. \ LY\
ivory for billiard balls. John Wesley Hyatt, 24-year-old Albany X, njk
printer, wanted that award and his profit from a patent. He
set up a laboratory back of his house and spent all his spare HehL ..'
time piddling with explosive chemicals. He came up with cel-
luloid. That was the beginning of the enormous plastics indus- I J
try of today. A half-century later Dr. Leo H. Baekeland invented I V
bakelite. Plastic materials now surround us. Picture at right
shows plastic telephone, table top and lamp, tree ornaments, s, '"l'

the Sacred Cow at government ex
pense to Pendergast’s funeral and
he had his picture taken with his
arm around young Jim Pender
gast, old Tom’s nephew who is try
ing to be the Democratic boss in
Kansas City. But you can’t blame
him much at that, for if the old
crook, good old Tom that is,
hadn’t taken Harry up and made
him county commissioner and then
U. S. Senator where would Harry
Truman be now? Not in the White
House, you can bet your bottom
dollar on that. If you’re broke
and a guy comes along and gives
you a million dollars or any part
of it you’re going to be for him,
ain’t you? And any little favors
he wants from you, he’ll get ’em,
won’t he? And if some honest
guy says that the fellow that gave
you the money is a crook and
proves it you’ll punch him in the
nose, won’t you? Well, that’s just
what Harry did or tried to do.
And now the Republicans are
blaming Hiss and trying to get
Truman to fire Acheson for stick
ing with Alger Hiss. Fat chance,
huh?”
“Oh, well, that’s a long ways
from here and whatthehell do we
care?” said the Mixologist. “Say,
do you know what my wife paid
for potatoes yesterday? Six cents
a pound. Whaddye think of that?
And the government has fifty mil-
BREWERY QULOH GAZETTE
lion bushels of the spuds that it
hasn’t any use for.”
“I’ve got it all figgered out,”
said the Old Gulcher. “The rail
roads and steel mills are short of
coal because the miners are out
on strike, with a few of ’em work
ing three days a week. Now their
families are hungry because the
pay checks haven’t been coming in
and the stores can’t afford to give
’em credit. So the government
will sell the potatoes for one cent
a hundred pounds; why not make
a deal with the miners’ union to
give it the fifty million bushels of
spuds for a few million tons of
coal. The miners families eat the
spuds, the steel mills and rail
roads get the coal and everybody
will be happy for a little while
anyway. By the time the spuds
are all gone the government will
have bought a few hundred mil
lion dollars worth of whatever else
the farmers have raised too much
of and that can be traded for coal.
The farmers will be happy, the
people that need coal will be hap
py, the miners will be happy and
everybody will keep on voting the
Democratic ticket and that will
keep Truman happy. Ain’t that
a lovely thought to leave with
you, my fran? So long and adios
as we say on the Gulch.’
