UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE RED BERRIES.

III take her a big bunch Of the red
berries
1t did not AXE Uncle Wiggily long to
pick the red berries on their long stems.
Certainly they did look most attractive
and artistic. Perhaps you have seen
the teacher bring red berries to school,
and you know how beautiful they are.
With the bunch of berries In his paw,
Uncle Wiggily was hopping home to
his hollow stump bungalow and Nurse
Jane, when, all OF a sudden, he looked
out through some bushes, and at the
end of the path the bunny saw a bad
old fox coming toward him.
"oh, dear!" sighed Mr.. Longears.
This surely Is bad luck! To think Of
being caught Just when / nave picked,
these nice, red berries for Nurse Jane,
What shall l do? How can l fool the
fox and get away? He has already
seen, me, I'm afraid"
Indeed, the fox did appear to have
seen the bunny, for the bad chap began
to run faster toward Mr., LongeaTs;
Uncle Wiggily looked around, holding
the red berries in his paw, At one side
of him was a prickly brier bush, full Of
stickers. On the other side was a he'll
low log.
'Tll crawl inside the hollow log and
hide" said the bunny to himself. THE
fox may not see me and he may go
away"
Uncle Wiggily started to get. inside
the hollow log, but It was not large
enough for himself and also the bunch
Of red berries. 49,,
'PH have to leave them outside" said
Uncle Wiggily. But III hide them
under the brier bush so the fox won't
get them" Quickly he showed the red
berries under the prickly brier bush, and
then crawled away inside the hollow
stump, so that not even his ears
showed.
Along came the fox. He shifted and
he snuffed and he said: Il saw Uncle
Wiggily here a moment ago. wonder
where he went? All, l see his pink nose
down under that bush He's hiding
from me! But you can't get away so
easilyl'' howled the fox,
Then he gave a jump, and he landed
right in the middle of the prickly brier
bush, and he was cut and so scratched
and so tangled up that he couldn't get
loose.
"HoL Ho!" laughed Uncle Wiggily as
he crawled out of the hollow log! That
wasn't my pink nose you saw! 1t was

And so he had! The fox, thinking a
red berry was the bunny's nose, mad
jumped right in the stlckers. Then
Mr.. Longears, leaving the fox still stuck
in the bush, went home n Nurse Jane

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1919,

paper Syndicate.)
This Is not an important DAY in plane
tafy direction, according to astrology.
Mercury and Mars are mildly adverse.
During this sway 1t is well to pur-
sue routine matters. for he planetary
government that stimulates and ex-
hilarates is held to have supreme in
fluence on the affairs of men.
While nations are suffering from the
disturbing after-effects Of the war,
warning is given that the mental con-
ditions should be watched, for ideas
that are destructive and dangerous are
poison to the mind.
Because Of the reaction after recent
emotional stress 1t is held by the seers
as exceedingly dangerous to give reign
to any enthusiasm that may lead to an
extreme of thought or action.
The stars that are held to disturb
the brain are said to affect many who
investigate psychic phenomena, making
for strange obsessions and increase OF
insanity.
According to ancient lore this should
be a favorable sway for hunters,
Domestic conditions come under a
government of the stars tending toward
many changes, in which simpler Gus
toms will be introduced.
Hotels and boarding houses continue
under a direction of the stars making
for prosperity. Cooperative living will
greatly increase. New methods OF re-
ducing expenses will be introduced in
Western states and will be adopted in
the East.
One of the many reactionary tenden-
cies that will be apparent soon will be
toward Victorian standards of social
conduct. 1t will be fashionable to be
modest and domestic, the seers predict,
and a famous society woman will In
troduce reforms.
After this month modistes and mill
liners will not be so fortunate as they
have been, II Is prognosticated, for
there is a threatening sign interpreted
as ~presaging dress economy among
women
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the forecast of a quiet year.
Children porn on this day may be
hasty, erratic and difficult to man
age. These subjects of Scorpio with
traits OF Sagittarius often have many
talents.

II. II. F.-Where did the custom Of
the wedding cake originate?
Ans. The wedding cake Is a develop
ment of the three ears Of wheat car
ried by the bride In very olden times
as Il presage Of plenty Of the good
things of life. In time the grain thus
carried was ground and made into small
cakes, which were thrown over the
brides head as she entered her first
house, A pile Of these cakes were laid
upon one another, after the Of
shew bread in old illustrations Of Bible
times,

devil among the pretty girls. Women
look askance at her.
He gets out Of the situation the graf
ification of the moment, which Is all
he cares for, She gets out of it a
soiled reputation and an utter dis
illusionment and disappointment. She
sees the years go by in bitter and hope
less waiting while her beauty fades,
and her faith, and her belief, and her
Illusions die, and she becomes an un-
loved and unloyely old spinster.
The married man has wasted for her
the years of her youth in which she
might have made a good marriage, and
in the end he casts her aside and
passes on to some newer and fresher
plaything,
There are no words strong enough
with which to stigmatize the folly OF
the girl who permits herself to be
drawn into n love affair with a mar
riod man, No good can come Of II to
her. No happiness Is in 1t for her,
There Is nothing but anxiety, and cor
roding jealousy that eats out the very
soul Of n woman and fills her days and
her nights with torture,
or course there are many men who
are unhappily married. There are many
men married to nagging wives, to un-
worthy wives, to wives who do not un-
derstand them, And there are many
men who do meet the women who are
their real soul mates while they arc
bound to the unfortunate marriages
they contracted In their youth. This
happens very very often In the close
companionship that springs up in bust
ness houses, where the men and womer
who work together come to know each
other as men and women who only
meet socially never do.

KNOX ASSAlLS LEAGUE
Penn. Senator Proposes New
World Organization.
Declares Society or Nations Would
Strike Down American constitu-
tional Principles.

Washington, March 3.-Senator Knox
state. speaking in the senate, assailed
the league of nations as striking down
American constitutional principles and
proposed new world organization
which, he said, "would preserve the
Monroe doctrine and save America
from the results of European intrigue
and aggression"
Senator Knox, who attended the
White House dinner conference last
Wednesday night with other members
Of the senate foreign relations commit
tee, said the constitution of the league
as presented to the peace conference
sanctions, breeds and commands war;"
and after criticizing various clauses of
the document, asked:
"Why this feverish anxiety for the
adoption of this plan? Why this rae
ing up and down the land by propa-
gandists urging it's adoption? What
benefit is to come from such sale of
the country as is urged upon us? Who
are the beneficiaries Of this betrayal
of our peoples?
The Pennsylvania senator said that
II the people of the United States de-
sired what he termed real league
Of nations to prevent war and mot
merly build coalition to further trade
or preserve and expand territorial pos
sessions" it might be secured through
| the formation of an international or
ganization comprising all the nations
Of the world.
| Senator Knox said the constitution OF
such an international coalition should
primarily declare war an international
crime and stipulate that any nation en-
gaging in it except in self-defense be
punished by the world as an interna-
tional criminal.
He also suggested that the constitu-
ton provide that international disputes
/ be decided by an international court,
according to an international code de-
fining war.

MAKE TEST OF YOUNG BULLS
Some Of Best Breeders Loan Out An
finals to Dairymen in commu-
nifty to Try Them Out.

Some Of the best breeders follow the
practice of lending out number Of
the young bulls to dairymen in the
community merely for the purpose of
trying them out. OF course, many Of
these bulls prove to be mediocre, but
when a valuable one is found he is the
property of the lender and will repay
any expense involved in his discovery.
A sire that has proved his worth al
ways is in demand and can be sold
readily if the public knows of his
whereabouts. The purchaser can be
found by advertising.

Palatability is Of great Importance
in successful feeding. The best results
can not be obtained with any feed
which is not well relished by the COW;
consequently any unpalatable feed to
be used should be mixed with those
that are appetizing. q
In making the grain mixture care
should be exercised that too large a
quantity Of either constipating or
laxative feed is not included. Cotton
seed meal, for example, is decidedly
constipating and should be fed with
laxative grains or succulents, such as
silage or roots. For ordinary feeding
in most parts of the United States not
more than one-third of the grain
should be cottonseed meal. In some
sections larger quantities have been
fed, but this practice is not be recon-
mended. On the other hand, linseed-oil
meal, because Of it's distinctly laxative
action, should not be fed ordinarily In
greater quantities than TX pounds a
day.
