CRANBE JIMMY COON

When Jimmy Coon mad finished the
last drop in the molasses Jug with
Teddy Possum to help him) in the
hollow tree, they looked carefully out
of the hole to see where Cousin Bruln
was. And those two rascals heaved
deep signs of relief when they saw
Cousin Bruin sound asleep.
Coon, Cousin Bruin has forgotten all
about the molasses and the jug. and
we are safe-that is. if we a think
of anything for him to eat when he
wakes up!"
well, I know exactly the thing
cranberries.. Cousin Bruin always
likes something sour after too much
sweet, and he always eats sour ants
for a pickle after too much honey, SO
cranberries are Just the thing. I know
a swamp where there are lots and lots
of them. and they are as red as straw
berries"
"That's all settled. 50 1 am going
fishing until he wakes up." Jimmy
Coon was sitting beside the hole where
a woodmouse lived. He was AS patient
and noiseless as a cat until in a few
moments came Mr.: Woodmouse. In
less than NO time Jimmy a ! m He
sat by a pool and washed and washed
his mouse until it looked like a rag.
Then, after eating this tidhit, he set
tied down to fishing until Cousin
Bruin should wake I'M.
Now some of Uncle Bull-frog's
family lived in this pond. and Mrs.
Mud Turtle had some relatives also,
and Jimmy Coon hoped to catch some
Of these. He liked a nice fresh frogs
hind leg. and there was nothing better
than an omelet of turtle. But neither
a frog or a mudturtle could be found.
Soon Bobby Skunk came rolling along,
and he was so fat that his feet seemed
much too small to carry him.
"where are you going with that
big load Of fat? Bobby Skunk? You
look as if you were going to a soar
factory"
None Of your business" snapped
Bobby Skunk. II don't know any soar
factory, and I am carrying home my
fat to my winter hole. Also I have to
have a big load for l have to live on
it all winter"

tides for ali under 4 new form Of pub
lie ownership OF public utilities is
proposed by exmayor Ralph S. Bauer.

Witt, Cleveland. Ohio. traction expert.
Il propose said Mr.. Bauer. that
the city OF Lynn purchase from the
Bay State Street Railway company she
entire track and overhead feeding
wire equipment and car barns within
the city limits OF Lynn.
This can be done by a 20 year bond
issue. which should be large enough
to permit the purchase Of 120 one-man
operated, front entrance cars, giving
the people in Lynn a service with not
over a ten minute wait between cars.
Il propose that the entire service be
operated by the city. making abso-
lutely no charge for carfare whatever;
in other words, that the street cars
under this municipal ownership and
operation carry the people of Lynn
wherever they want to 60 within the
city limits absolutely free. the oper-
ating expenses 10 be met by the tax
levy.
"The entire cost Of operating could
be met by one-half OF one percent on
our present valuation from the tax
levy. Free rides in street cars over
every part OF the city would. in my
judgment in five years build up every
vacant lot within the city limits. We
would have within ten years 100000
