gily, who was still carrying the
bunch of feathery, fuzzy whisker
flowers.
But Uncle Wiggily ran quite fast
in spite of his rheumatism. and for
a while he managed to keep ahead
of the Pip. AS he turned the cor
ner, around big stone, Uncle Wig
gily looked back. For a moment
he could not see the Pip, who was
down in a little hollow out of sight.
Il cannot run much farther
said poor Uncle Wiggily, who was
quite out of breath. 81 must fool
the Pip in some way. But how
Ha. have it! I'll hang some of
the fuzzy whisker flowers around
my neck. They will make me look
as though I had beard. Perhaps

tough rabbit and will pass me by
I'll do it,
Quickly, before the Pip came
along, Uncle Wiggily hung some
whisker flowers around his neck.
Along came the bad chap, run
ming fast. He turned the corner
by the rock where Uncle Wiggily
sat, looking like a very. old, old
rabbit with a gray beard.
Hum! This is very funny
said the Pip, scratching his nose.
Il thought Uncle Wiggily was
around here, but only see an old,
old rabbit, too aged to have any
tender souse. My, what long
whiskers you have, Grandpa Bun

But Uncle Wiggily himself, safe
behind the bunch of whisker flow

WHO'S LAZY NOW?

The management of the Indian school at Albu-
querque showed excellent judgment upon behalf of
100 Students for whom it made arrangements to
work in the beet fields during the summer vacation.
This will give to them small amount of earnings
do them good physically, and inculcate realization
that they be a helpful part of the population
and not mere wards to be maintained de-
pendents
During the war there was a successful appeal to
students to aid their country in production and har-
vesting. The activity should materiaze this
year The need is urgent. The wheat harvest has
begun in Oklahoma and soon will be advancing along
a great belt in the middle west. New Mexico and
the Texas Panhandle already realize that there are
not enough available for the harvest and a
wage of from five to seven dollars per day is
sured for every able youth who will work.
The middle west needs sixty thousand wheat
harvest workers for the next three months The
entire number might be secured rapidly if college
managers and professors who complain about lesser
pay, would start the movement and accompany the
boys
There at least 100000 young in the
colleges and universities, professional and normal
schools of the country whose school year is closed
Ordinarily large number of them would spend the
summer more less in -ideness. ..E
Why should they not come to the nations rescue
in the threatened food crisis as they undoubtedly
would if imminent? The wages which
the wheat belt farmers have agreed to pay-withl
board and lodging in additon-are not to be dis
dained, and the experience would be invaluable for
the city-bred men. Every welrounded education
should include some first hand acquaintance with
farming & After spending a year clustered with

FEDERATION NOT FOR BOOZE.

Samuel Gompers failed at the meeting of the
American Federation of Labor to get support for a
plan to have the democratic national convention APP
prove of the sale of light wines and beers. The
prediction that labor forces would resent prohibition
was in error. Working people care for wages and
money for the better living they have when wages
are not spent for booze. They will strike if poorly
paid mistreated, but not in order to compel re-
instatement of liquor. If prohibition sub
mited separately to all the laboring voters of the
nation, rather to those who American
born, prohibition would not be set aside Or else
We sadly in error about the good sense of such

SOME POLITICAL STUFF

The resignation of Manuel b.
Otero from the military staff of
Governor Larrazolo may or may
not have had any political signifi-
canoe. The gentleman may have
tired of the 'pomp and circum-
stance of war" or the monOtony
of peace time parade. Positions
on the staff are more honorary and
ornamental than actual nowadays,
and are often bestowed as politi-
cal courtesy, or to form convenient
chains to bind support
1t is no secret, however, that
some of the Otero family in the re-
publican party have for the past
year been determined to oppose the
denomination of Governor LARA
colo and following the revelation,
has grown an expression in favor
of the nomination of Manuel b,
Otero, or of Ed Otero for governor.
1t is probable, that the resignation
was rendered without explanation,
and accepted, because, of an en-
barrassing situation.

The nice old bunny rabbit gem
tleman went along through the
woods and pretty soon he came to
where q green vine was growing.
And on the vine were some very
queer "whisker flowers" as Uncle
Wiggily called them.
"Old mans beard is the name
some persons give this flower, for
it looks fuzzy and curly and fluffy,
Just like the whiskers of nice,
old man.
"Oh, no! I hope Sammie and
Susie found some of this whisker
flower" said Uncle Wiggily to him
self as he hoped near the vine.
1.-THE lady mouse teacher would
like that. But in case Sammie and
Susie missed it I shall pick some
and take it to the hollow stump

So saying, Uncle Wiggily plucked
a bunch of the whisker flower, as
he called it, and with his paws
filled with the feathery blossoms
and trailing leaves, he hoped on
through the woods.
