ASTONISHING TALES
Sir—l am quite inclined to believe your tale of Magnus's golf ball. There is another talc, of a dog and a golf ball, which if not true would be incredible; how tho intelligent beast swallowed his master's lost ball and later on, with the aid of a grass emetic, delivered it on the drawing-room floor, to the great admiration of his master's guests. There is also the astonishing talo about the good Yankee who gives satisfaction to both producer and consumer while not forgetting a very modest competence for himself! Why not import a shipload of such good Yankee 'benefactors to run the Government, stop our beer and tobacco, save our souls and make us all virtuous, healthy, wealthy, and wise?

Only ,£1,000,000 a year to at once wipe out an effete' administration and the army of profiteering middlcmou. v-lmle«ale and retail, who now oppress this down-trodden country! Sheep farmers, merchants, shopkeepers, and other superfluous persons could then he made to work with their own hands m our mines a.nd fields, producing cheap coal, food, and milk for the people !-••! am, etc., UTOPIA. August 1, 1920.
