she says he gets in her garden and chases
her nasty old cat every day.
AUNT EM
Seventy -- Dorothy, please!

Oh, but he doesn't do it every day --
just once or twice a week. And he can't

Now look, here's something that really
has a heart. This is the best invention I
ever invented.

This?

Sure. It's to break up winds, so we don't
have no more dust storms. Can you imagine
what it'll mean to this section of the
country? I'll show you. It works
perfectly now. Here's the principle. You
