THE LOW DOWN FROM
HICKORY GROVE
For having your feet on the
ground you will find people who
will say it is just the Republicans
who do eo. And also ytu will
find another bunch who will claim
I' • Republicans, they are just as
flighty as the Democrats.
But I just been reading about
this here Senator Pat Harrison
from down there around Winona
r>: Jackson, or wherever it is he
h?ils fn {m, in the old mud-cat
Mate And I take off my chapeau
t • him.
| Patrick, he is one Democrat who
: does not just tip toe around in
i ;:ho clouds, or touch the ground
| with one foot now and then—he
has fcMth feet smack-dab on terra
t firma.
He says it is time to take off
tho tinted glasses, if we expect
to get out of the bog or get our
jofoH back. And also, he says we
gotta stop living on borrowed
money, right now—rv ft manana.
And by doing so, he says, we may
be able yet, to avoid the Sheriff.
Maybe you do not like Demo
crats and maybe you do, but
whichever it is, you gotta hand it
to this Old Boy from Mississippi.
'Amrs, with the low down.

When Wallace Beery, America's favorite movie "heavy” “gets away from it all" he pilots his own
dane to his lodge in the wildest part of Idaho. To reach the Beery camp overland requires a pack -
rain trip of several days. Mr. Beery is chairman of Idaho’s Wildlife Week committee, and an ardent
portsman-conservationist. He is shown with a twelve-and-a-half pound rainbow trout, with the scales
o prove it. The mountains, bear climbing tree and moose in the lake were photographed in the neigh
