Description: The United States is full of people who are excitedly talking about Cannonball Bakers invention, which will allow cars to get 50 miles to the gallon. The elephant reminds everyone that today is Poppy Day, honoring veterans of World War I.

Indiana again! Always something doing there. The country is saved. Tell us. Sign him for a movie. Note of war to Hitler. Old race driver. Quit shoving! Run him for president. Hes a long distance driver. Cannonball Baker of Indianapolis. Dont push. Save one for me. Hes been in Evansville. Yeah--but how about tires? Ive invented a gadget that will get 50 miles per gallon for heavy autos. He drove for Graham brothers. Golly 150 mile on my 3 gallon. Hold it--Ill buy it. Dont shove. How much it cost. Will it go on old cars. Hes the one who always advocated a steady 50 miles per hour on road was best. The army will take it. Swim in and get the dope for Adolph. Whats the noise ashore? Poppy Day today--for those of that other war.
