It's just another afternoon in
the Rag office. The typewriters
bang merrily and the staff goes
to work.
"Do you want me to write that
feature on anything in parti
cular, Jeanne?"
"Huh-uh."
"That's mean. I can't think"
"Stop talking and start writ
ing" Cub Clem stops whistling.
"Fritzer! What did you get in
Ec?"
"Eight."
Cub laughs.
"What did you get a nine?"
"Yeah."
Chair Shortage
There is a "discomzobulating"
shortage of chairs in the Rag of
fice. One of the workers quiet
ly steals into the Cornhusker of
fice and slips out with a chair.
"Wliere are you going with
that chair?" somebody booms.
The worker pays no attention
and walks out, dragging the chair
through the door.
"How about Friday?"
"No, somebody has to be able
to work here Saturday morning."
"Why don't you refresh your
mind with something exciting?"
"Why don't you refresh your

Rag Staff Works
Workers stroll into the Corn

Rag staff as they go by. The

"Does this make sense? A

twenty-four drums.' I'd like to
see that. Nancy, how can a
twelve piece band feature
twenty-four drums?"
"Drums, not drummers."
"Oh, I see. There are twenty
four drums right beside each
other with their little "gizmots".
Every man has a drum."
"I want a rabbit Look at this
cute rabbit."
"A Mrs. Santa Claus now."

The chatter continues on late
