32 THE WADSWORTH GAS ATTACK a n d RIO GRANDE RATTLER The Next Number of The Gas Attack will be the IT WILL A P P E A R JANUARY 26 th From cover to cover it will contain a harvest of nuts, some ripe, some rich, others old and musty: nutty people, nutty sayings, nutty pictures, nutty poems. For weeks people have been saying to us in surprise: “I don’t see how you can get out such a magazine for only a nickel!” They were right. The reason we tried hard to keep the price down to five cents was be cause we didn’t want to sting the soldiers any more than possible. W e’re privates, ourselves. But now—The next number of the maga zine will cost Ten Cents. It had to be done. What’s ten cents among friends? In the next number the most distinctive features of the Gas Attack will be printed as usual. There will be: The Ideas of Ethelburt Jelly back, Private: VIII, on the Night of His Wild Adventure in Paris, After the War. There will be another Soldiefs Letter to His Sweetheart on the Incinerator Page;, a page of editorials, by no means depressing; and a sprinkling of general news, news of sport and Division Units. But for the most part the next number will bristle with the weirdest wit and most insane illustrations that a reading soldier-public e’er gazed upon. Two printers have already gone to padded cells as a result of working over this number, and nineteen contributing editors now screech their general orders from the Base Hospital. Get ready for the Nut Number. The Gas Attack is selling out every week 48 hours after it goes on the newstands. FOOTE & DAVIES CO., ATLANTA
