There are times wen a
feller can make a: rele big .
mistake... an last week I pulit
a dandy! _

I went up to the ranch fer
to see Pete Svensen, an I tuk
along the Big Paper, wich
Pete don’t normal get. We
wus settin’ on the porch,
watchin’ the sunset and
enjoyin’ a hot rum... lease-.
wise, I wus. Pete gets his
snoot buried in that paper an
it’s the first time I ever seen’
Pete fergit about his rum fer
dang near an hour!

Finally, Pete throws her —
down an ses. he jest don’t ©

Te)

believe it. He ses jest about -
ev "ty country in the world is
goin’ at it hammer an tongs,
tryin’ to kill each other off...
an he asts me wot about all .
them Treaties.an them sorta

things, wot wus sposed to.

give a feller a littel peace an‘
quiet?

Well, I ses, near as. I ‘can.
tell all them Agreements an
solemn Declarations don’t .
mean a tinker’s cuss, becus: -
the quickest way to get into a
guvmint is to be a lawyer...
an they know how to put
together a contract wot can’t
be bustid - an then turn
arount an bust it, jest to show
_ they are real smart.

Pete thinks her over a spell
an then he ses he figgers I
aim rite, becus thinkin’ her
over an countin’ on his
fingers he finds most of them
fancy puvmint fellers is
lawyers an he asts how cum?

_It’s real simple, I ses. In
private practice they can
fleece ony one feller at one
time. In the. guvmint, they
* got their hand in ev’ry pockit
in the country at the same
_ time... an they get a fat
salary to boot. Pete ses that’s
shur as hell got chicken
fermin’ or raisin; hay beat
all holler.

‘It’s like the littel story in
that there paper, I ses, wot
tells about the whales. Pete
asts wot the heck whales has
gotta do with lawyers an
bustin’ Treaties, so I tells
bam.

Them big countries killt off
whales so fast they wus

gettin’ extink, -J. ses, an-
decent ‘folks wus startin to —

get real upset wen the news
leaked out.

Weil, sir, I ses, the big
countries got righteous . as

; hell all of.a ‘sudden: an:sined. ]-

up wot.’ they.” call: = the ~

International: Whaling Con--f |
venshun... but they kept. ‘Tite -

on killin’ whales... : - ;

Purty soon it got. so there i q

wus. nuthin, left, but. strage-

lers ‘it - wusn’t too §-.-
profitable runnin’ big’ ‘whal: . re
ing fieets,:so you. know wot ; oo

. they are gonna. do?. — So -

“Ym scairt to ‘ask, ses Pete. : i
They: are gonna “sell the

whaling: ships. to littel coun- §.
tries wot ain’t members of |

the International Conven-

shun, I ses, an them littel _

countries figger two bits an
hour is gud. pay an they will
kill off the whales wot is left.

You jest gotta be kiddin’!
ses Pete.

- Nope, I ses, becus if you
read that there paper real
careful, you will see where a
littel place wot ain’t more’n a
year old has sorta got tired
killin’ each other off... an
they is pickin’ up the whaling

. Ships now. It’s a place callt

-Angola, wot has got killin’
down to a science in jest a
cupple years.

Pete asts me wot happens

then? an I looks at him quiet
an then I ses it’s real

simple... Wen they kills off - :

the last whale, they will sign
the Convenshun.

So Pete; asts: me wud I
leave the Big Paper behint,
next time I cum up.
