A fragment from The Oracle parodies public figures and pranksters. It mentions Albert Noffiz and his son Raymond with a joking take on politics and humorous jabs about John Kelly’s hair and electricity.
The Spectator column at Joliet in March 1937 riffs on age and gender riddles from readers Erna and Pohlers, praises the Y Players star Vic Rompel, and recalls last week’s broad county hoax involving Elmer Geissler Les DeGeus and Bill Deaton.
A fragment recounts a failed political gag during a 60 plus business crowd. The piece notes that the gag drew no line in the year of the election and predicts future attempts will be snapped up if bait is given again.
A fragment notes a large sale centered on Charlie McKeowal with a hint of involvement by Klint's Cleaners and a continuation on page 6. The readable bits imply a prominent figure tied to a major sale event.
