Mr.Wallace's Circus
Barnum and Bailey missed a good bet this year when they failed to sign up Henry Wallace as a featured attraction in their circus. Always on the look-out for some bizarre act which will draw in the curious and make the cash register ring, the circus should have recognized that Henry is the best crowd puller since Gargantua.
Mr. Wallace may not get many votes this fall, but he has shown that people like to be entertained and they are not particular who does the entertaining. The Progressive party has reported more campaign funds than their Democratic opponents. Most of this money comes from admission fees for Progressive party rallies where Mr. Wallace speaks.
It used to be the worry of politicians than no one would bother to listen to their speeches. To think of expecting voters to pay for the privilege of being told how to vote was unthinkable. Now Mr. Wallace comes along and starts charging admission. Instead of ending the campaign heavily in debt, the Progressives may turn the unheard of trick of coming out with money in the bank, although it is doubtful if Henry would trust "those capitalist bankers" with his money.
Why do people pay money to hear Henry Wallace speak? Perhaps they go in hopes of seeing him get hit in the head with a rotten egg. On the other hand, they may be attracted by the same morbid curiosity which always assures a crowd at a public execution. More than likely, they just want to be entertained. There is nothing like a good Wallace speech for laughs.
For a couple of dollars you can see the public spectacle of a man calling himself an "apostle of peace." The same man was a propagandist for World War II. He is an ardent apologist for all Stalin's crimes, including the displacement of more millions of people than Hitler had time to displace. At best his program would sacrifice decency in Europe, not for peace, but to a postponement of atomic war.
Henry has had a varied career. He has been an editor, corn grower,
public official, and now presidential candidate. After the November
election he will be looking for another job. Maybe this time he will
find his true calling—circus clown.

Vet Needs No Tubes For Built-In Radio.
Pittsfield, Mass.—(UP)—Robert C. Nelson, a World War II veteran studying at a business college here, says his hearing aid works too well. It keeps picking up programs of radio station WBEC, located in the same building as the school. He said radio engineers told him the only things they could suggest was to "turn the volume down."
Never Too Late To Fly

Melbourne, Australia — (UF) — A sudden worm shortage has hit here, but no one minds much except Barligan, the zoo's platypsum. Barligan eats nearly a quarter of his own weight in worms every day. The zoo is offering a shilling a pound for wrigglers.
Memphis, Tenn.—(UP)—Mrs. R. G. Draughor treated herself when a filling in a tooth came out. Her dentist was out of town, so she used a toothpick to apply glue to the cavity. The dentist told her later he never had seen a filling stick so tightly.
