Rather, he became a Patron of Radicals. A Patron of Radicals is a man who can not spend much of the time at the actual business of being a radical, and has other, reasons for not being much in the company of the rank and file of Radicals. He is their fiscal agent.” At this stage of the game Mr. Podd

nozzle plant, obtained the eight pilgrims, with the exception of his daughter, by letters written by those seeking the grand and glorious brotherhood. Podd saw no candidates until the ship was ready to sail from New York for around he world. The qualifications were based on the Intellectual qualities expressed in the letters. At the time of the sailing of the ship, Podd discovered that his company consisted of a half-wit who was selected by Intellectual merits as stated by the editor of a small town paper. The half-wit’s name was Mr. Dotsey. Also on board was a doctor who thought people should only eat nuts, fruit and vegetables. Another one was a failure, a restaurant keeper. Another was a mother who believed that children should never be suppressed and her darling example of being brought up on affirmatives only resulted in Freddie going with mother on the trip. Then another disciple was Miss Frale, a woman of uncertain occupation. Podd did not understand when he accepted her letter as a candidate Miss Frale is what Is known as a “street walker.” But she was interested in the brotherhood of man and stated her walk of life as being usually “on the right-hand side of Broadway, going downtown, between Twenty-third and Forty-seoond streets.” She also told Podd after the ship had sailed that she entered her walk of life because she wanted a piano and after getting that discovered that she couldn't play it, so she got a player piano and then a gramophone was wanted. A Labor Organizer Nearly Ruined Mr. Podd's Plans Also In the party was a labor organizer who only organized and collected dues. He organized so well that he organized the crew of Podd’s ship with the result that there was mutiny and the nozzle manufacturer and all of his disciples were left on a lonely Island. It is here we get acquainted with

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
some of the most delicious satire in modern day fiction when Podd attempts to establish his commonwealth kingdom. The greatest piece of satirical writing is that describing the election of mayor on the island when the half-wit Dotsey is elected mayor after he had bribed votes from the men by giving them cigars and votes from the women by giving them perfume and face powder. Isn’t this celicious? All happening in an ‘ideal” commonwealth. There is much tantalizing satire in this story that to tell you all about it would be to publish the entire book and I am sure that it would not be a bad idea at that. You will laugh at and with "Mr. Podd” and chuckle over the facts dressed up with some brilliant satire. ‘Mr. Podd” is dandy mental tonic. Podd will give you many real laughs and after the chuckle has rippled away, there will be some serious thought left. That is the test of effective writing. Meet Mr. Podd.
