Doyle attracts
SbLendid CrOq0dS

Steele, N. D.. Oct. 12.-Concluding
days tour of Ashley and Steele
county, S. ]. Doyle addressed large
crowd in Steele at an open air meet
ing. and he was most enthusiastically
received.
Mr.. Doyle spoke to full house at
Wishek. over 800 people, most of them
farmers, being present; at Ashley he
addressed 200; at Napoleon he ad-
dressed $50, and at Kintyre and here
he was greeted by very good crowds
The tour that Mr.. Doyle is making
is becoming increasingly successful,
and a greater number are turning out
each day. It is estimated now that
he is speaking to from 1000 to 1000
people every day.
Mr.. Doyle's policy Of discussing the
campaign issues is winning friends
for him wherever he goes. He is
staying away from personalities, and
has given his audiences some con-
crete facts as to what the Socialist
program means for North Dakotans,
particularly for those who own land
Desperate efforts still are being
made by the Socialists who direct the
affairs of the National Nonpartisan
league to keep their members from
attending the Doyle meetings, but The
effort apparently has fallen hat.

Tales ofthe Fr1endlyForeSt
BY DAVID CORY

If you're curious you will find
A lot OF things to do.
But. goodness me, you'll quickly see
They'll make q fool OF you.
So only do the things you ought
The things your mother always
taught. -.....
And, oh, dear me! Billy Bunny
almost ran his legs OF these busy
fall days trying to find out what
everybody was doing. And another
person, too, was trying to find out
what all the little people OF the
Friendly Forest were doing. and that
was the Miller's Boy. Yes, sir, he
certainly was a busy person. II he
didn't have his gun with him. he had
big stick, and II he didn't have a
big stick, he had shovel with which
he could dig out some Of the little
animals who had hidden themselves
away in the ground for a long win
ter's nap.
One day as Billy Bunny was look
ing out of the Old Brier Patch he
saw the Miller's Boy coming across
the Pleasant Meadow with a gun on
his shoulder, and right at his heels
was Sic'em, the farmers old dog.
"Ha. hal" laughed the little rabbit

he can't see me, for I've seen him
first, and then the little rabbit pop
ped into his burrow and told his
mother ali about it.
You had better close the back
door" said Mrs. Bunny. There's no
sense in being careless just because
the Miller's Boy is poor hunter and
old Sic'em hasn't got but one tooth,
and then she peeked out Of the little
window but there was nobody In
sight.
So pretty soon Billy Bunny hoped
outside and cautiously looked about
him. And would you believe 1t. there
was the Niller's Boy looking at him
not three feet away.
Well. sir! If you ever saw a bun
ny turn somersault backward you'd
have seen 1t just then. Why, that
little rabbits heels went over his
head so fast that the iollypops in his
knapsack didn't have time to fall
out. And then he closed the front

you'll wonder why the Miller's Boy
didn't break in the door. Well, I'll
tell you. When the little rabbit
jumped head over heels backward he
kicked up such cloud of snow that
it blinded the Miller's Boy and he
couldn't see thing until he took off
his red mittens and got out his poe
ket handkerchief and wiped his eyes,
and by that time the snow had fallen
down again and covered up the little
rabbits front door.
"shucks!" said the Miller's Boy.
Where did that pesky rabbit go?'
But Old Sic'em didn't answer, for he
didn't know either, and neither
would IL Sammy Snowbird who
was sitting close by and saw the
whole thing hadn't come to my win

You can catch a rabbit
You must learn each twist and turn,
Every little habit.
