Shifting the Loan

A Chicago small time gambler went over to New York to "buck the tiger," and ended up broke. So he decided to phone a big shot gambler back in Chicago, and ask for help. He got the big shot on the phone, and said:

"They cleaned me up in a crap game here last night. How about sending me twenty-five hundred, and I'll pay you when I get back?"

The big shot said: "I can't understand you."

Plywood Fcrrm Inlormcrtion

Throughout the lvar-and even before-an extensive research program has been conducted by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association devoted to the development of more useful construction with plywood on the farms of the nation. State universities and colleges have published at least 149 blueprint plans and bulletins for plywood farm buildings The Plywood Association will promptly furnish a catalog listing such literature upon request. Write the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

So the other said it over again, louder. Again the big shot replied that he couldn't understand a word he said. Again the other raised his voice and shouted into the phone. Again the big shot said he couldn't hear him. Then the telephone operator cut in and said:

"I can hear him as plainly as can be."

"Okay," said the big shot. "Then YOU PAY HIM."
