' WES SEE SAYS $S "H Once there waB a caroless golfor L i -j. Who would ne'er pay heed to "Foro:"s32v . M 1 It's tough it had .to happen rT But said golfer is no moro. vW ,.p jtf , Afvs?AJ j 1 had a dream the other night When everything was still. I dreamed that you could purchase shoes For ono five-dollar bill. I dreamed there .were a million stores Where sugar could be found, And grocers glad to sell tho stuff For seven cents a pound. I dreamed that bacon was reduced And eggs no longer high, That new potatoes were not sold For twenty cents an eye. I dreamed that silk sox were so cheap Twelve pairs I could afford: 1 woke and found that I was in I The psychopathic ward. According to the papers, 20 per cent reductions are all the rage. John Wanamaker set tongues to wagging; by cutting everything in his store. Now other merchants are using red! ink on their price tags and tho bar- gain hunters are being run ragged. This 20 per cent thing seems to be applying chiefly to clothing and allied al-lied merchandise. Booze prescriptions are still ?2 and there's no apparent inclination to write 'cm for $1.00. But undoubtedly great good will j como of the 20 per cent wave oi economy us soon aa Jack Dempsey! hears about it. He has been too busy getting ready to be tried as a slacker I In San Francisco to read the papers. As soon as Jack gets tho 20 per cent reduction in his bean ho will reduce re-duce his demand for big purses and fans will see him in some combats. Especially if the movio companies i start cutting his 20 per cent bonus. ' Maybe even a bout with Carpentler might be arrangod if Jack would cut I 20 per cent or half a million dollars off his purse. Wo can think of a1 lot of things that ought to be re-1 ducod among which aro the prices I demanded by boxing champions.
