After Mrs. Bunny had hniehed hug
ging her little boy, as told you IN
the last story, she got the supper and
then they all sat down to eat. And
after that they sat out on the front
porch and listened to the tree-toads
singing. And every now and then they
could hear Uncle Bullfrog from the Old
Mill Pond go ker-chunk in his deep
bass voice.
And by and by, when the sky was all
covered with twinkling stars and the
big round moon shone, bright and clear.
Uncle Lucky sang his favorite song,
called Meet Me in the Garden, Where
the Carrots Blush So Red" and this 10
the way 1t goes:
Oh, meet me In the garden, where the
carrots blush SO red,
Where the carrots blush SO red,
And the lettuce leaves are trembling
And the cabbage mods it's head.
For tits there love to wander
With a lusty appetite
When the silver moon is shining
In the calm and peaceful night.
And. as Uncle Lucky had very
beautiful voice and the music was very
sweet, Billy Bunny fell fast asleep.
Then his mother picked him up and
carried him to his little room and
tucked him in bed. And wasn't she
glad to have her little boy traveller
home again! And IL you don't think
so, just call her up tonight on the
telephone-O o 0. Snake Fence Corner
and find out for yourself.
Then she came downstairs ana

the HARDING. HAvnER c RusADt.

The blue law" crusade is 10 be on all
! over the state next Sunday with county
attorneys under orders to enforce the
laws.
1t is Harding and Havner, governor
and attorney general who are to share
he responsibility for the crusade. Hav-
ner, it appears. considers the strict en-
forcement as a fuifilment of an ad-
ministration pledge.
Havner is due to earn great deal OF
unpopularity with those who view en-
forcement With disfavor but it is to be
recalled that Havner was Harding 5
choice in the convention and that a
candidate who had been pledged by
Scott county at least to non enforce
ment was politically electrocuted in
order that Havner might be running
mate for the candidate for the govern
orship. After election Governor Hard
ing in a message to the legislature told
the assembly that it was there TO make
and repeal laws and in an assurance
that was as much threat as assurance
pledged the administration to enforce
strictly all laws the assembly left on
the statute books Havner stood by the
governor and said me too that he
would enforce all laws the legislature
left
When Havner attempts to do as he
and his chief agreed he is being faith
full TO the administration; he is car
rying out the announced policy Of the
governor What else can the man do?
Of course this is hard on many who
rose early and stayed up late in the
interests Of Governor Hardins's can
didacy. but what can the governor do:
His word is out along with that Of his
subordinate. the attorney general.
Such credit or blame. approval or
disapproval as is TO be given the en-
forcement campaign must be divided.
This movement is dignfied by the open
pledges of the governor in guberna-
torial message and by the open an
nouncement of the executive and pros
ecuting brdnches of the administration.
So why center all disapproval on Hav-
ner?
How il Will turn out is not al all
certain except that such CrliSaGeS have
so far never fully attained their an
nounced objective However that is not
the subject of discussion. The point be-
fore us is that the crusade Is not Hav-
ner's, but Harding and Havner's, an
agreed policy and an announced pur-
pose by both officials.
