NEW CHAMPION LIAR DISCOVERED High honors have long been paid to the fisherman who always comes home with a story of "the whopper that got away." This man Is recognised as the champion liar of the neighborhood. Lying seems to go with fishing. But the fisherman that tradition has honored has been displaced from hla proud seat. He la no longer the admitted king of liars. There Is a new king. The champion liar of today is the nut with a new radio in his home. He hears all; knows all. Nothing gets sway. He heard the glasses clink In New York during the New Year's eve celebration. He had New York. Philadelphia. Newark, Schenectady. Pittsburgh. Chicago, San Francisco, Fort Worth, Montreal and B&mbergers. He llateneiLln on the big football game out In California and called In all his friends. Wonderful! Next day the friends learned that they didn’t have California at all. The football plays were simply being relayed from New York. It was the old story of the big fish that got away.
