ABNER COWPENS
This ferocious character, a loyal Webfoot booster, has volunteered his
services to the Oregon Federation. He wants to go to Corvallis to entice
Beavers—to tell them that being a Duck is ever so much more fun.
Problem Subtracted by Cowpens
Equals Glickman Plus Content
Harry Glickman has had it. For weeks the president of
the Oregon Federation has been tearing his hair. He had a
problem. He no longer has one. lie hasn t much hair left,
either, but he need tear no longer.
Abner C. Cowpens, loyal Oregon booster, has come. He
has volunteered his services to the Federation as representative
of that organization in the cow country up north a ways.
Cowpens' purposeful letter to Harry the Click follows:
Dear Mr. Glickman:

the Eugene Register-Guard for
today that you are seeking some
one to represent your organization
iu Benton county. I would like to
bo considered for the position.
Your advertisement specified
that you wanted an administrator,
public relations expert, fighter,
and intellectual, all in one. I be
lieve 1 am your man. in support
of this belief I am listing my qual
ifications.

As a member of the armed
forces I gained quite a reputation
as a fighter. The list of battles
in which I took part is both long,
and, I believe you will agree, im
posing. Included were the Battle
of the Long Beach Pike, the Battle
of the Brown Palace Hotel, the
Battle of the San Francisco Pepsi
Cola Center, and the Battle of
Wounded Elbow. For these I was
awarded the Order of Stalin and
was pledged to Junior Seabees.
After having gained this reputa
tion as a fighter, I was kicked up
stairs to an administrative post of
considerable importance. I ad
ministered the construction of
every latrine from Kwajalien to
Cairo.
Both in and out of the service I
1 acquired experience in public re
lations. At the time I was admin
istrator in charge of latrine con
struction, I was public relations
man for Kilroy. Before entering
the service, I suceeded in convinc
ing farmers they should plaster
Bull Durham advertising on the
roofs and walls of their barns.
I’m not so certain I can qualify
.as an intellectual. But you can
take it for what it's worth, I have
, a lifetime subscription to Greater
| Wow comics.
Your advertisement makes men
tion of the danger involved >n this
position, since Corvallis is located
in Benton county. To reassure
you, I am enclosing a picture of
me indicating the uniform I pro
pose to wear on the job.
Thank you,
Abner G. Cowpens
