Sammy Jay Learns What a
Bad Name Means.
ny THORNTON ". BURGESS.
Copyright. 1919. by J. G. LloydJ

Sammy Jay started out very hopefully
to make himself right with his neigh-
bors You see, he had made the mistake
of telling as a fact something that he
only thought was 4 fact. He had spread
the news all over the Green Meadows
and through the Green Forest that Old
Man Coyote had given up his home and
gone away and there had been great
rejoicing among the little people who
fear Old Nan Coyote. Sammy had real
ly thought it true when he had told
that story, but 1t wasn't, and now
everybody knew it and would have
nothing to do with Sammy. So he had
thought and thought until at last an
idea had come to him for making him
self right with his neighbors. He
would tell them some good news that
was true-that he knew was true. Then
they would be glad and would forget
about his mistake the other day.
So straight to the Smiling Pool flew
Sammy Jay and tried not to see that all
who were there turned their backs on
him when they saw him coming. Say"
he cried as soon as he reached the big
hickory tree on the edge of the Smil-
ing Pool, 1--WE got some news you'll all
like to hear. and it's really, truly true!'
''Chug- -rum" said Grandfather Frog
In his deepest voice.

said Jerry Muskrat to Billy Mink.
Billy nodded. "1t isn't exactly Jay

"Chug-a-rum: Ha, ha. ha! Chug "a

quickly to look at Grandfather Frog.
but Grandfather Frog was gazing up
at or Mistah Buzzard sailing round
and round. way up in the blue. blue
sky, and looked as solemn as if he
didn't know how to laugh. Sammy
swallowed bard to get rid of "A lump
in his throat.
IT'S about Farmer Browns Boy and
his traps-he's put 'em away. anyway,
he's taken up those he set for Old Man
Coyote and thrown them in a corner
just as if he didn't intend to use them
again" Sammy was trying to be Who'll

WISCONSIN MAY GET S752, 500
Measure Pending Before Congress
Calls for Yearly Appropriation
of Sum for Road Building.

Madison. will be emit
tied to $752,500 annually from the
United States government for use in
making and maintaining good roads,
if the Shackleford Roads bill becomes
a law. The big measure carries an
annual appropriation of $25,000,000, to
be expended in various states in pro-
portion to their road mileage, and the
state treasury is to match it with an
equal sum, if the state desires federal
aid.
Each state has the right to use the
money apportioned on any or a COM
bination of plans. The only condi-
tons are that the state provides an
equal amount of money to be expend-
ed with the amount of money furnished
by the federal government and that the
plans and specifications given by the
United States secretary of agriculture,
and so as to meet his approval. The
reward plan specified in the bill had to
be given to enable the states whose
constitutions do not permit of state
aid for road building, to receive aid.
If this bill becomes law it means
that the national government, with
expert engineers such as constructed
the Panama Canal, will take hand
in road building.

Iided head-on with freight train
about three miles from here.
The baggage car and one coach of
the passenger train were telescoped
and every passenger in the coach was
either killed or injured. All available
physicians were hurried to the scene
of the wreck from this city. Several
of the wounded were brought to hos
pitfalls here Oh an interurban car, the
line of which parallels the Michigan
Central tracks at that point.
Owing to the darkness the work OF
rescue was slow and difficult. Two
hours after the collision a number of
the passengers were still In the wreck
age and it was believed some of these
also might be dead.
Access to the wrecked coach--the
smoker-was DISTRACTED by the walls
of the baggage car, which completely
encased it, Inside this trap could be
seen from a dozen to a score OF pas
sengers. Some of them were moaning
or shrieking for aid, while others lay
still, evidently dead.
The only body identified up to two
o'clock Monday morning was that of
Engineer Cal Johnson of the passen-
ger train He was crushed to death
between the tender and his cab.
Through apertures in the smoker
could be seen "a man believed to be
James B. Cheney of Detroit. He sat
upright in seat which was damned
against the one In front of him. The
wreck apparently resulted from mis-
understanding of orders. The freight,
it is said, was supposed to take sid

Fond du Lac.-Attorney General
Owen will be asked to untangle the
complications arising from the action
of Mayor Wolff in calling a special
election to vote on the commission
plan at the latest date possible by the

This election is to be held on March
%. The law provides that at the cleo
ton held on the first Tuesday in April
next succeeding adoption of the COM
mission plan, there shall be elected a
council consisting of mayor and two
members. TIL law also provides that
candidates for these offices shall be
nominated at primary election to be
held two weeks before the general
election. This would throw the pri-
mary on March % or the day follow
ing the date on which the board plan
is adopted in event it wins. The law
further requires candidates to file
nomination papers twenty days before
the primary, which in this case would
be nearly three weeks before the vote
on the commission plan is taken.
So far as known this is the first
time such series of complications has
arisen in the state.
