uncie Wiggily Longesrs, the bunny
rabbit gentleman, was hopping through
the woods one day, when, as he hap
pened to skip behind a high sassatras
bush, he heard some voices,
Here he now spoke one
voice. -.
Let's ask him Il he has any" said
another.

But, g momen later, he knew every
thing was all right, fer NJ saw Johnnis
and Billie Bushytail, the two squirrel
boys ~scampering toward him.
you ask him. said Johnnie 10 his
brother.
ooh, l d'wanter," mumbled Billie,
meaning that he didn't want TO.
Then ! will" chartered Johnnie. So
he skipped a little closer to the rabbit
gentleman, and asked: Have you any
pennies in your pocket, Uncle Wiggilys
don't mean for you to give US any
he added quickly. But Billie n !
we're just wondering. u you had IN
extra pennies and he looked at Mr.,
LonRears sweetly like and popc0TneFy.
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink noss,
and put his paw inside his pocket.
Something jinEled and ratified.
Yes, 7 have some pennies" said the
bunny,
III thought you had = few spoke
Johnnie. Course we don't want any, -
he went on, and mother wouldn't let

"'Well, what's the good OF looking at

III guess maybe we can do more than
look at ~lollypops,' laughed Uncle Wig

the pennies in his pocket. The eyer
of Billie and Johnnie frightened az they
heard this music and soon they were
sesmpering along with Uncle Wlgstly
What kind would you get II you

GIRLS PAID $4 WAGE
PITCHING HAY IN Elk0

Last year it was the proper thing
for the women to don overalls and go
out into the hay fields to supply the
shortage of men, who had gone to
the army, says the Elko Free Press.
In almost every instance they gave
splended satisfaction. and in one par
ticular case the farmer says that his
crew of girls did better work than
any crew of men he ever had. and
this year he is paying high wages for a
crew of girls. mower-girls and rake
girls drawing down 81 per day and
board, while the regular wage for
these positions is but $3.50. Mr..
Glaser is the man, and recently he
came to town and took out his crew,
consisting of Misses Allene Wright.

PRICE OF SILVER IS
ESTABLISHED FOR YEARS
United States Mint Director Ray
Baker Visits Reno and Dis
cusses White Metals
Future

That the price of silver will not go
below one dollar per ounce within
the next seven years. and probably
for some time after that, is some of
the good news brought to Nevada by
Ray Baker. director of the United
States mint, who stopped off in Reno
en- route to San Francisco for the
annual accounting of the lint at
that place.
in accordance with the I rms Of
the Pittman silver BILL" sale Baker,
Il have melted 270, 200, 900 silver dol
lars, and of this amount zoo, 900, 900
ounces have been shipped abroad.
mostly to India. having been pur-
chased by England for the Indian ac-
count in the war with Germany.
up to the present time have not
purchased single unce of silver to
replace the silver that has been melt
ed and shipped abroad.
''The Pittman silver bill provides
that $50. 900. 900 ounces of silver shall
be melted for shipment abroad and
other purposes and that it shall be
replaced by silver purchased from
American producers at a price not
less than one dollar an ounce. To
replace this silver. should | pur-
chase every ounce produced in the
United States, would require at least
five years. But it would be utterly
impossible for the Government to
purchase all the silver produced in
the United States. For this reason
it will require somewhat longer
period of time than Eve years. My
estimate is that the price of silver
will be stabilized at one dollar an
ounce for at least seven years.
This. of course, is based or the
assumption that Congress does not
repeal the Pittman silver bill. And
my judgment. based upon personal
observations at Washington and my
relations with leaders in Congress, is
that such a contingency is not at all
likely to arise.
Whoever, or whatever element
attempts to repeal the Pittman bill
or endeavors to fix the price of silver
is going to run up against snag
that cannot be overcome"

WHAT TWO cows ON
EVERY FARM WOULD MEAN

Two good mich cows on every
farm in Arkansas would mean 480,-
900 cows, and If they were good
cows each would produce not less
than three gallons of milk day,
which at 10 cents a quart would be
$4,000 a day, or $209, 100000 a
year, which is more than we get
from all our grain crops, corn,
wheat, oats, rice, peanuts and sor-
ghum, and is as much as wet get
from our cotton at the present high
prices, writes Jim G. Ferguson,
commissioner of mines, manufac-
lures and agriculture.
And those same cows would
raise every year at least 1000
calves, from good sires, that would
be worth a few more millions of
dollars, and they would produce ma
nure to fertilize the soil so that
the farmer could get bigger yields
of grains and cotton. But the

Skins are a good source of reve-

should be Invested of loose fat and

without deterioration until conve-

are cured by being stretched free

In moist atmosphere or where
haste is imperative, the flesh side

always be circulation of air on
