The squirrel does a comedy scene
with a pet bulldog that is delightfully."-
natural. Mickey's bull terrier makes
one dive for the squirrel and Brer
Squirrel stands not on the order of
his going. He beats it for dear life.
Mickey wears boys clothing during
the first part of the play and the
squirrel sprints up her Gus leg.
The hero tries to save the lady
from the squirming squirrel, and his
gallant efforts look very peculiar to
Mickey's foster father, who hastens
up bent IN murder and sudden death.
And then he see the squirrel and
joins the rescue party.
And, by the way, Mickey ought to
get the Iron Cross for her courage.
Pshaw! Any girl might lead an army
like Jeanne Dare, or just save chill
dren in burning houses, or jump off
cliffs, or any little thing like that.
But let a rat or a squirrel run up
your clothes! 100000! If there were
a call for volunteers to save the
country by letting rats run up dresses
the only answer would be a yell fad
ing away in the distance.

Reports of hail at Lake Madison
and farther south came to this city
early this forenoon. Mr.. Hurley,
manager of the Lake Madison hotel,
stated that the storm came UP short
ly after s o'clock and that the pei
lets of ice were larger than hickory
nuts. Those who were in the lake
bathing were forced to seek shelter.
The extent of the hail area farther
south has not been ascertained.
Miss leila Sears, who left this city
some time ago to join her mother in
the new home at Newberg, Ore,
writes her father that she had arrived
safely after the long trip. Mr.. Sears
is in receipt Of a box of fine Oregon
cherries shipped by his wife. They
are indeed luscious. In the box were
several varieties, the Royal Anne, the
Early Richmond and the Bing. Mr..
Sears is whetting his appetite on
them and awaiting the time when he
can sell his interests here and go to
that land of abundant fruit.
There has been noticed in this
locality a small destructive worm
that travels in army mass attacking
garden vegetables and certain kinds
of plants. In fact, some have been
caught and many inquiries concern
ing the pest have been made. The
in length. is commonly seer at work
boring into the heart of radishes. Its
scientific name is scirara fraterna
and it's mode Of travelling in groups
of thousands makes the term fraterna

stincts as regards the life habits.
The adults are a small species of
gnat. I'm European countries these
creatures are known as worm snakes.
The continuous wet weather is quite
favorable to their rapid development,
So far they have not been destroying
vegetables wholesale but there's nc
telling what an increase in their mum
bers may do later. The records dc
not reveal any destruction to wheat
through the specific migrations oil
these tiny army worms from place to
place.

PAPER CUTS Forced

Mills Already Bound to Pro-
duce so Per Cent. More
Than Capacity
ACTION
NOW ASSURED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O-Immediate
reduction In the size Of newspapers,
magazines and other publications. by
government action Is necessary because
already the mills have accepted con-
tracts for next year calling for 80 per
cent. more paper than can be pro-
dueed. Representative Anthony, Kansas,
himself newspaper publisher, de-
clared last night.
Many papers, particularly those in
the smaller cities, will soon be forced
out of business unless "a general re-
duction order is enforced, he stated.
Mr. Anthony took steps to press the
consideration of his bill designed TO
accomplish this reduction through an
order Of Congress to the Post ONCE
Department to refuse to accept as mail
volumin0us publications.
The House Post ONCE and Post Roads
Committee promised Mr. Anthony CON
scideration Of the bill next Monday, at
which time he, Jason Rogers, Of the
New York Globe, and possibly other
publishers would appear in support Of
the plan
The paper situation has been made
'ANN"A VII FhEA q -AhnAAf lnNAtu1fu nc
mand. due 10 an unexpected volume
Of advertising, and at the same time
a decrease in production" Mr.. Anthony
said.
THE trouble apparently is that no
one newspaper or group Of newspapers
or publications is willing to take real
steps to conserve paper. fearing its
action will drive advertising to its
competitors. In that case 10 il the
duty Of the Government 10 stem IN.
Many papers in smaller cities have !
wired me they are unable to make con- |
tracts at any price for next year. The
paper simply cannot be had. and the 4
price has jumped from about . cents |
a pound before the war tax up to 10
and even IS cents now /
Il have not compiled definite fig
ures, but in general I believe nv hin /
will cut down the paper used in week /

An Extra Guest for Christmas
BY Alice Manning Dickey

Holly in the window, turkey in the
oven, presents weighing down the gilt
tering tree, Christmas cheer in the
air
Can't you make room for one more
guest in your Christmas heart-espe-
cially If it happens to be a little child
whose eyes are big aud lonesome. and
whose little body looks as If il had
been hungry for a good long time?
For just~fO cents you can feed the
hungry stomach OF such a child on
Christmas Day. For 50 you can care
for 10 for the whole Of the Christmas
month. And II you can dig down in
your Christmas pOcketboOk and pull
out $3.50 all in one lump, you can be
god parent TO a little boy or girl for
whole year, being put In touch with it
through correspondence.
What kind Of a child? Well, what
do you think about a little ten-year-
old boy who for three years worked
every day from sunup to shutdown.
saving up branches OF trees for fuel?
He must support one crippled leg with
a huge stone while he worked One
end Of a huge cross-cut saw was press
ed against his tiny chest. the other
braced against the ground, as with
arms he drew toward him
the branches which were TO make fuel
and earn 40 cents a week for himself
and an old grandfather.
Or how about a little six-year-old
girl who. when the Germans carried
away every boy baby from her town.
was thrown to the pavement by burly
German when she proved to be a girl2
She is permanently crippled. Her
mother was taken AWAY by the Ger
mans, her father was killed in the
var.

orphans of the war. Every cent con-
tributed for a child goes directly &,
1t. Not one penny is used either in,
this country or in France for any

work are borne by generous friends
Can't you add one Of these children
to your Christmas list? Not only tho
money but your friendship will mean
to a child a new belief in the Provi-
dence Of God, a new love and thank-
fulness, and will help TO wipe out the
