Chapter --
Text `There's no doubt it's a grand idear!' exclaimed Didlum, `and I've just thought of something else that might be done to help it along.
We could arrange to 'ave a lot of letters sent "To the Editor of the Obscurer" and "To the Editor of the Ananias," and "To the Editor of the Weekly Chloroform" in favour of the scheme.'

`Yes, that's a very good idea,' said Grinder. `For that matter the editors could write them to themselves and sign them "Progress", "Ratepayer", Advance Mugsborough", and sich-like.'

`Yes, that's all right,' said the Chief, thoughtfully, `but we must be careful not to overdo it; of course there will have to be a certain amount of publicity, but we don't want to create too much interest in it.'
