Story 263
The Utmost Party

Once on Maine's northernmost seacoast, we were in•vi•ted by a

most gra•cious host to a party that was truly the ut•ter•most.

Modest George Yost would not in the least boast, but his yard
would, with a lantern atop each post. We were served cav•i•ar on

toast and the tastiest roast. Every guest proposed a toast, which
was laughed down with a witty riposte.

The next day this foremost party was ballyhooed in The New York
Times and The Washington Post.

A VOTE FOR OATS WILL MAKE YOUR TAXES
EASY TO TOTE !

&

A DARK HORSE NEEDS HER VOTES AS WE THE
PEOPLE NEED OUR GOLDIE OATS !

1. A long shot, or an unlikely choice.
