While poor little Mrs. Peter wor-

along through the Green Forest with
out thought OF the worry he was
causing little Mrs. Peter. It was SO
long since he had been over in the
Green Forest that he wanted to visit

on Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. He
called on Mrs. Grouse, who told him

Bobby Coon and Unc' Billy Possum,

kept a sharp watch for Reddy Fox
and Old Man Coyote. Also he took
pains to inquire if Shadow the w easel
had been seen lately. He hadn't. and
that took a great load from Peters
mind.
There was one part of the Green
Forest Peter took great care to avoid.
This was the dark and lonesome part
where for several years Hooty the
Owl had lived. Once Peter had been
over there, and peeping out from a
safe hiding place had gazed with
round-eyed fear up a Hooty's nest
Ever since then he had kept away
from this place.

WIDE VARIATION IN QUALITY AND
CONDITION OF PRODUCE.
At the present time there is wide
.ariation in the quality and condition
of carrots, caulifower, kale, lettuce
and onions. Lettuce and caulifiower
vary a great deal in the size of indi-
vidual heads, while delayed transport
alton, in some instances, has resulted
in these products losing much of their
original freshness. The Warm weather
has caused carrots to decay and wilt
while onions have felt the effects of
coming spring by sprouting.
APPLE PRICES UNCHANGED.
The high price level reached by ap-
pies has remained with practically no
change in wholesale quotations for
the past week or SO. Albemarle Pip
pins and Ben Davis are the two. va
largely for cooking purposes. The
Delicious and Winesap varieties. with
few Spitzenburgs and Newtown
Pippins, are the common varieties to
be found on the fruit stands.
The fair prices to consumers given
below cover those that should be
charged by cash -and-carry" as well
as 'credit-and- delivery retailers.

People who like to tramp about and

simply that they are not contented to

of this kind.
Peter had been pretty good during
the winter. He had seldom gone far
from the dear Old Briar Patch, and
this had lifted great load of anxiety
from timid little Mrs. Peter. But as
it got toward the end of winter Peter
felt great desire to roam far and

Losing her way in the thick fog that

Jones Inlet, near Point Lookout, L. |.
AS soon as her keel crunched on the

Tugs were sent out to her from this

Coast Guard service, sent the cutter

wind comes up to drive her further
into the shoal, the vessel will probably
be pulled off at high tide this morning
She carries crew of about forty

The steamship Messina, according t.
radio message received from her al
this port yesterday, was hard hit b,

was in need of assistance. No further
details were given in the S O call
but the Messina's position was giver

The announcement by Mr.. Nixon that

effective at once the restrictions

use Of heat, light and power generated
by public utilities companies from

removed until further notice. This
does not cancel any of the existing

Mr.. Nixon Immediately took steps to
brighten Broadway and to restore gen
orally the city's lighting and heating
to a normal basis
All restrictions as to heat, light
and power as given in DR.. Garfeld's
order are for the time being sus-
pended" Mr.. Nixon said. "a confer

Take,, IL, Coaluila Raid

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Dec. 13-Frank
Hugo, an American citizen, manager
of the ]. M. Dobies ranch, near Muz-
quiz, State Of Coahuila, is being held
for ransom by the Villistas, who raided
Muzquiz last Tuesday.
No other American was taken by the
bandits, and an Englishman seized by
them was later released, according to
word received here to-day.
Hugo is held for $4,000 ransom, it
was said, and several prominent Mex
leans are held for $4,000 ransom each.
The Englishman released was R. B.
Rawson, representative of the Eagle
Pass Lumber Company.
One Of the Mexicans held is Don
Miguel Muzquiz Pena, one of the
wealthiest ranchmen in Mexico, it is
said. His wife escaped by running to
Rosita, several miles distant, where
she telegraphed her son to send the
ransom money to Pine Solo, 12O miles
from Muzquiz, the point designated by
the bandits.
The Villistas, who we're reported to
be led by Pancho Villa himself, left
Muzquiz Friday at p. M, taking the
same direction over the hills toward
Chihuahua State, whence they came,
according to Mexican Consul G. M. Sc
gum, of Eagle Pass
Much uneasiness was felt in Piedras
Negras, the Mexican town opposite
here, and fearing a return of the ban
dts and possible attack upon their
town the residents did not go to bed
last night. In every house light was
burning, it was said.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Sheppard, of Texas, to-day asked the
State Department to investigate re-
ports that Fred G. Hugo, manager of
the j. M. Dobies ranch in Mexico, had
been kidnapped and held for ransom by
the Villistas, who raided Muzquiz last
Tuesday. The Senator made no men,
ton of any other Anne rican captured.

day from the American Consul at
Juarez said no Americans had been

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 13.-The
police of Atlantic City and Ventnor, a
suburb, are conducting search for
James Blake jr., year-old mute,
and two negroes vaguely described by
his mother, who says they kidnapped
the boy and robbed her last night as
she was walking with her son in South
Cambridge Avenue, near the boardwalk
in Ventnor
more energetic search will be made
for the boys body along the Ventnor
Beach front just as soon as the fog
lifts tomorrow, according to Chief of
Police Sprague, Of Ventnor, who says
he believes the boy was thrown into
the ocean from the end of the Ventnor
fishing pier.
Mrs. Agnes Miller Blake, the mother,
has been separated from her husband
tor four years, and much of that time
has been treated by physicians for a
nervous ailment. Mr.. Blake, who con-
ducts an insurance brokerage business
in Philadelphia, has made his home
with his wife's mother, Mrs. Clara
Miller, and her sister, Miss Maude Mil
Ter. The children, Esther, ten, and
James, or Buddy as they called him,
also lived there, and when the father
wasn't home the mother has been ac-
customed to visit the children. Last
fall Blake and his wife's family moved
here from Germantown, Pa, taking an
apartment in 1913 Vermont Avenue, At

she wanted to take Buddy" for a ride.
She told her sister she was planning
to ride down to Ventnor, about five
miles south, in a jitney automobile and
visit a Mrs. Rifle. with whom she for

a sweater suit of gray wool and a hat
of similar material.
Mrs. Blake went from her mothers

not far away. He has been treating
her since she has lived in Atlantic
City. 1t was 4:45 p. M, according to
DR.. Fox, when Mrs. Blake and the boy
left his Office.
Woman Gives Alarm
1t was about 6 o'clock last night
when the women in the household of
Benjamin Fox, 100 South Cambridge
Avenue, were alarmed by some one
pounding on the front door. Fox, u
building contractor, had not returned
home from his Office. His sister, Mrs.
Annie Clavey, middle-aged woman,
opened the front door. A woman, hat
less and with long black hair in a
