Editors asked for more. Dave invented Rochester's Mayor Walter Tripp (in real life proprietor of the Jiffy Lunch), had him announce a Reduced Production County Fair, dedicated to New Deal crop control. Prizes were offered for the scrawniest pig, puniest pumpkin, cow yielding the least milk, the most sterile quart of soil. A special prize awaited the farmer entering fewest exhibits. Appreciative, Associated Press sent the tale over its wires. From all over the U. S. letters poured...
...student organization is now under the management of Mr. R.T. Sharpe of the Student Employment Office, who has already appointed a manager and one distributor for each of the three Houses. Sandwiches, milk, Coca-Cola, etc. will be distributed to the students' rooms each evening.

But in advanced cases the breast must be amputated, all the lymph glands leading to the shoulder and arm must be carefully tied off or removed...
...British tar will tell you that the Nazis have their hands full now, and for a long time to come. English babies are fed on a mixture of milk, pap, and Britannia-rules-the-waves; and the grown babies are not likely to surrender the guiding principle of their life without a struggle. The Empire will fight to the last ship, and with her fleet will go to Davy Jones many a German vessel as well. One may then reasonably wonder how dangerous to American liberty an enervated and depleted Nazi navy will prove, even assuming English defeat...
