POOR LITTLE OUIJA—When asked about a rumor that be was about to enter tbe presidential race, either as a Democrat or a progressive Repub! lean,nobody seems to knur.- which, Herbert Hoover, expounder of the theory of “Pood For Europe First.” answered that there was nothing to It. “Some one’s been fooling with a ouljaboard." he replied. From Herb’s knowledge of the oulja board It would look as though he had been consulting one himself. It will take more than the advice and assurance of the wee small voices of the spirit world to put you across. Herb.
