134 THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



The '' Booster^ s Cluh'' 



GEORGE W. WILLIAMS, Redkey, Indiana 



BE A BOOSTER 



If you see some feller tryin, 



For to make some project go, 

 You can boost it up a trifle ; 



That's your cue to let him know 

 That you're not a-goin' to knock it, 



Just because it ain't your "shout," 

 But you're goin' to boost a little 



'Cause he's got "the best thing out."

 with our knowledge, less than a penny postage stamp. Every 

 member must contribute something, if not more than his honest

 honor and reputation. The less words, the greater the reputation. 

 We are out for bigger and better business, but we will have some 

 fun along with the business. When we get a little older, we will 

 sentence some sucker to be "Booster-in-Chief" with assistant 

 boosters in each state, and 2nd assistant boosters in every county. 

 Then we can boost. The name "Booster's Club" fits the require- 

 ments, but if it causes any finicky bee doctor or lawyer to have 

 "fits," we will take a change of venue and stand trial under some 

 other name that smells sweeter. We are not particular about it, 

 we can be sentenced under any other alias just as well. I have 

 been compelled by force of circumstances to fill the pulpit and 

 give you the following sermon. It is every word of it true, and
