The Cover
- John J. Camp and family are putting up the big top, but they aren’t exactly having a circus. They will come out better if they fold the thing up and start all over again, if they can dope out how to fold it up. Let’s hope that before papa Camp falls on the hatchet, Mrs. C. solves the puzzle chart and shows them how to put up old Easy Up; let’s hope that her superior know-how won’t make her husband any madder than he already is. Later, if he can do a few chores without her help (such as light the lamp), his wrath will dwindle; and his composure will be fully restored by the serenity of the everlasting mountains massaging his soul. Artist Thornton Utz successfully installed one of these swell tents in his back yard, but his neighbors say that his early struggles were pretty funny.
