UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE NUT CAKE.

Uncle Wiggly knew something about
cooking, and the like Of that, once
having gone camping, So he stirred up
.'in a pan a lot of flour and water and
sugar and molasses and other things
whatever goes into a cake, you know
and then Uncle Butter asked:
Where did you say the nuts were? p
In a bag, out in the w~OOdshed,"
answered Uncle -Wigsily. IF you'H
bring them here I'll put them in the
cake and wen bake it,"
Uncle Butter brought in a bag that
the squitTel boys had left for the rab-
bit gentleman. He opened il over the
pan Of batter, and Uncle Wiggily stir
red the nuts in with a big spoon.
Now wen pop the cake into the
oven, and when ii is baked wen each
have a slice, whether Nurse Jane is
home or not the bunny said.
They waited for the cake to bake.
It smelled most s~crumptious whenever
the oven door was opened. S
II guess it's baked now said Uncle
Wiggily, as he took a last look. Its
nice and brown on top"
And when the CAKE was taken out 1t
was baked just right. Waiting a little
while for 1t to cool, Uncle Wiggily cut
off two slices, one for himself and n
for Uncle Butter. They were sitting
down to eat, when all Of a sudden the
door Of the kitchen opened and in
popped the bad old Skuddlemagoon.
"oh, ho!' cried the Skuddlemagoon.
81 am just in time!"
YES, just in time to have a nice slice
OF the new cake l have baked" spoke
and good to the bad chap perhaps the
Skuddle might be made better.
Cake! Who said anything about
cake@ cried the unpleasant visitor.
"Souse l want, and souse ! shall have.
But I'll take the cake, too"
WITH that hn rNnGt fpnnnlifaIV h
Uncle Wiggily's slice and Uncle But
ter's slice, and, still more impolitely,
stuffed them into his mouth. And
ooh, wow! oh, double WOW! oh,
red pepper nash and baked horse rad
"That cake is full of pins and needless
and out of the door he ran as fast as
he could go,
Dear me! 1 wonder If / made a
mistake, and dropped n of Nurse
James pin cushions in that cake by
Uncle Butter looked at the cake, that
was left. They saw a lot Of stickers
in it, Then Uncle Butter said: .
"Oh. l see! We put a lot Of chest
nuts in the cake without taking the
stickery, prickly burrs off the nuts
You baked the cake full OF stickers'
Did n Well. it's a good thing we
didn't eat any of it, spoke the bunny.
THE Sk~uddlemagoon came along JUS
in time, as l said" Then the stickery
chestnut cake was given to Charlie
and Arabella Chick, who, with their
bills, could easily pick out the prickly
chestnut burrs, and Nurse Jane came
home and made a proper cake.

BY HOWARD r. GARis,
Once upon a time, when Uncle Wig
gily L~ongears, the bunny rabbit gentle
man, was reading the cabbage leaf
newspaper in his hollow stump bum
galow, he heard a knock at the door.
Il guess Nurse Jane will answer,
thought the bunny to himself, as he
went on reading. But pretty o the
Knock came again.
Perhaps my muskrat lady house
keeper doesn't hear" said Mr.. Long
ears to himself. Il hope she isn't get
ting deaf and he twinkled his pink
nose sympathetical-like. Again came
the Knock, louder than before, and
Uncle Wiggily said:
Wen I'll go down myself and see
who it is"
Down he went, and there stood Uncle
Butter. the goat gentleman who lived
with Billie and Mamie Wagtail.
Il was just thinking no one was
home,' bleated Uncle Butter, who had
been knocking with his horns.
I'm sorry" answered Uncle Wiggily,
Il thought Nurse Jane was here to an
swer the door. But come in, Uncle
Butter. I'm glad to see you, though l
can't imagine why Nurse Jane didn't
hear you knocking"
Uncle Wiggily looked out in the
kitchen. on the table were pans and
dishes, spoons and forks, some flour,
water. sugar, molasses and different
things like that, And on the table was
also a little letter, written on a piece
Of white birch bark, with a burned
match for a pencil.
Dear Uncle Wiggily," the letter read,

Uncle Butter, as he saw the rabbit gem

Longears. she's gone out, leaving, a

MIRACLE WHEAT AGAIN
IS ON WORLD MARKET

An efficient swindle is never per-
mitted to die.
Years ago miracle wheat was mar
keted to the farmers for a price that
would dent the conscience of a food
profiteer. The wheat turned out to be
just ordinary, everyday seed-or worse.
Finally, farmers rose up and made the
seed sellers hard to catch. The affsir
received as much publicity as an actress
receives.
Yet here is the agricultural college of
Idaho sending out warnings that mar
keters of miracle wheat" are abroad in
the land and prospecting amazingly. Ex-
~perience, publicity, trials and punish
ments-the common knowledge Of the
countryside-seem to count for nothing.
Miracle wheat sounded well and the
second crop Of farmers bit as eagerly
as the first.-Toledo Blade.
