"Ha, hal" shouted Old Man Weasel
again, as he ran toward the two little
rabbits. who i told you in the last
story had run the Luckysnowbile
right into q great big steel trap.
Oh, dear me! Now we're goners!''
said the old gentleman rabbit, and he
wiped his eyes which his blue silk

how dreadful it would be, after he
was dead and gone. to have Old Man
Weasel wear his old wedding stove
pipe hat.
Take hold of the Buffalo robe
whispered Billy Bunny, and help me
drop it over Old Man Weasel when
he gets close enough to the Lucky
mobile" Well, this sort of cheered
up the old gentleman rabbit, and
when the wicked weasel was just
going to get inside, the two little
rabbits dropped the big Buffalo Robe
right on top of him, and then Billy
Bunny, quicker than a wink, drove
wooden pegs in the four corners OF
the robe so that the wicked weasel
couldn't even squeeze out.
"Ha, ha, no, ho!" said Billy Bunny.
and he poked the lunpy part of the
Buffalo robe with the end of his
popgun, for the lumpy part was Old
Man Weasel, you see. And every
time Old Man Weasel crawIed to an
other place Billy Bunny poked Kim
a little harder, SO after a while the
wicked weasel kept perfectly still.
And then Uncle Lucky got out the
wrench and the screw driver
and by and by he managed to get

Gerald Hubert&
Dies of Wounds

Lieut.. Gerald Hubertz, %. son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Hubertz, 6121s
Front street, is dead of wounds re-
ceived in action in Belgium Novem-
her 6, according to a telegram re-
ceived by his parents at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon from the war de-
partment. The last letter received
from him was dated October 80, and
told that he had been assigned as one
of three officers to lead charge on
strong German positions.
Lieut.. Hubertz was raised and ed
ucated in Fargo and was corporal
in Co. B when he served on the Mex
lean border. He went to France with
the company last December, but after
the breakup of the company was as
signed to a bayonet school, where he
received his commission early in the
fall. His parents, one brother. Her
bert, in the army vocational training
detachment at the Agricultural col
lege; and two sisters. the Misses Rita
and Ramona at home, survive.
In civilian life, Lieut.. Huberts was
employed by D. D. Sullivan, optician
on Front street.

the Luckymobile out OF the steel
trap.
Il hate to leave that nice Buffalo
robe said the old gentleman rab-
bit, but what can we do?"
S-ssh!" whispered the little rab-
bit, and then he took a long rope and
tied one end to the Buffalo robe and
then he tied the other end to the
Luckymobile and then the two little
rabbits got in and rode off, and after
they had gone maybe a mile or q
little less, the rope frightened up and
gave a terrible jerk, and the Lucky
mobile almost stopped, and then it
plunged forward again.
So Billy Bunny pulled the robe in
as fast as he could while the Lucky
snowmible kept on going, and after
two hours and forty nine minutes
nine hundred and sixty-second Sec
onds he came to the end, which was
tied to the Buffalo, robe, and then
he pulled the BuffaIo robe, which
was pretty dirty by that time, into
the Luckysnowbile. u
well, I guess that was the only
thing to do" said Uncle Lucky, but
it's too bad that Old Man Weasel is
free again, for there's no telling
when he'll get us into another
scrape."
Don't worry, Uncle Lucky" said
Billy Bunny, land don't go TO the
bridge unless you want to cross It,"
and pretty soon after they came
to the Old Brier Patch where Mrs.
Bunny had nice carrot stew steam
ing hot and lettuce salad and baked
lollypops and lots more nice things
which 1 haven't room to mention in
this story.

ommendation by State Auditor Carl
Kositzlky that the state tax commits
sion be abolished by the legislature.
and the work centered into the Office
of the state auditor, was discussed
by II. H. Steele, OF the state tax COM

Steele declaring he could see no rea-
son for the proposal. :
Mr. Steele said that the tax COM
mission had been responsible for the
enactment OF the state moneys and
credits act that viii yield 100000

additional taxation this year, that it
is responsible for the state inheritance
tax and administers that law, under
which $4,000 will be collected this
year, and that it alsi is responsible
for the increased assessment of rail-
