John Bull trying to sunk a U.S. Navy ship with a cannon made of paper (British diplomacy); an automobile (overtaxed motorist) covered in stickers (tax) approaching a box of tacks (gas tax); Calvin Coolidge fishing with a bait (solution of farm troubles) aimed to attract two fishes (farm vote and third term); and an injured pilot (college grad) who has just crashed his airplane (higher learning) and is apprached by an anthropomorphic globe (reception committee), telling him to get to work.
