YOU KNOW
I'VE BEEN THINKING
Three monkeys once dining in
a coeoanut tree,
Were discussing some things
they had heard true to be.
"What do you think, now lis
ten you two, -
Here monkeys, ia something
that cannot be true,
That humans descend from our
pure race,
Why, it’s simply shocking, a
terrible disgrace.
Who ever heard «of a monkey
deserting his wife?
Leave a baby to starve and
ruin its life?
And you ever known of a moth
er monk
To leave her darling,. with
strangers to bunk?
Their babies are handled from0
one to another,
And scarce ever known the
love of a mother.
And I’ve never known a monkey
so selfish to be
As to build a big fence
.around a cocoanut tree, •
So other monkeys canTt get a
wee taste
But would let all the cocoa
nuts there go to waiste#
why, if I’d put a fence
around thi3 cocoanut tree,
Starvation would force you to
steal from me.
Here is another thing a mon
key won’t do,
Go to a tavern and get on a
stew,
. Carouse and get on a whoopee,
disgrace his life,
Then madly rush home and beat
up his wife,
They call this all pleasure
and make a big fuss,
They’ve descended from some
thing, but not from us.”

TO REMIND YOU TO TRADE AT HOME
A string on the finger is for the absent
minded. Most Homer folks have learned by
this time that in the long run they get the
best of the deal every time if they trade at
home.#*they don't need the string.
But for those rho do need the string on their
finger* trading at home keeps Alaskan money
