One night, not so very many years
ago, Uncle Wiggily Longears, the
bunny rabbit gentleman. and Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. his muskrat lady

low stump bungalow.
All Of a sudden there came a rata
tat-tat knock at the door.

Nurse Jane, Il wonder who that is?

They wouldn't come this time Of
night" said Uncle Wiggily, putting
aside the paper he had been reading
Il guess maybe it was Mr., Whitewash,
the Polar bear gentleman, come to see
me, or perhaps some n to see you.
I'll go look
And when Uncle WiggAfy had care

Jane heard some jolly laughing, she
knew it was all right,
Come i'm invited Uncle Wiggl,ly.

and she quickly smoothed out her
whiskers so she would look nice for

Mr.. Whitewash, the Polar bear gentle

Uncle Wiggily a little visit.

the bunny and his pink nose twinkled
so fast you could hardly watch it.
Come in and make yourselves at

In they came and they took off their
things and sat around and talked and
had n jolly good time. Uncle Wiggily
told how the Boodledab tried to catch
| him, and tickle him so the buttons Il
burst off the bunny's coat, and they al
said 1t was n wonderful story. | told
it to you last night, you remember.
Then, after a while, when MIR, White

he was lost on a cake Of ice, Nurse

meant. 1t mean for him to 60 Out

L0WNDES COUNTY DEBATE
COTTON ACREAGE ISSUE

COLUMBUS, Miss, Feb. IA. (Spl.)-
While the United States department
Of agriculture and the governors OF
several states have urged Southern
growers of cotton to reduce their acre
age for the coming season, no con
certed action with this end in view
has as yet been taken by the farmers
OF Lowndes county. The matter Is be-
ing freely discussed and different
views are expressed, some maintaining
that existing conditions warrant high
prices and that it Is save to plant the
usual amount Others appear to be-
lieve that the price of the staple will
decline and are preparing to decrease
the acreage devoted to its production.
There being no official data available,
1t is impossible to make anything like
an accurate prediction as to how much
cotton will be planted. 1t seems prob
able, however, that there will be a
small reduction in acreage.
