Show AT THE BAT some sort of across a cross eyed nemesis has been hot on oil the trail of the reaper since three weeks ago causing its publisher deep seated anguish and adding no prestige to the office force the reaper was delayed the week that it gave publication to the delinquent tax list and every week since some unavoidable happening has occurred to delay delay the issue it is no longer possible to purchase print paper in car lots under the old regime but stock has to be bought of local caper paper firms that half the time are unable to rill fill an order calling for more than two or three reams this was the case again last week when we were unable to issue until monday and even then were obliged to curtail the edition until a later date perhaps things will adjust themselves after a while and the paper situation cease to be such vexation to publishers but there is a nemesis or a hoodoo or a jinx hovering about the reaper plant and nothing but a rabbits foot or a black cat captured in the cemetery is going to break the efficacy of the spell which seems to have been put upon this periodical by psychological re incarnations of meddling busybodies busy bodies from some other sphere |
