 lican primaries. was concluded in district
 court here late today. Judge Albert 1 Johnson, however, allowed counsel for
 both sides until Friday to present au- ] thorites for their arguments in brief and indicated he may hand down a decision
 next week.
 | After MT. Volstead had reiterated that he is not an atheist as charged Tn the primary campaign Rev. Kvale took the stand He said that three factors entered
 into his classifying MT. Volstead as an
 atheist The first was the latters al- ! legged criticism of the minister's faith l second. he asserted Volstead did not state
 the truth in an alleged statement that
 the non-partisan league was composed or socialists and anarchists, and third, he
 alleged the congressman used vile Ian guage.
 Despite objections of counsel for the
 contestants Judge Johnson allowed intro l duction of a circular said to have been | issued in behalf of the congressman In which reference was made to the parable | in the Bible of Christ feeding multi | ttude with five loaves and two flshes. Volstead was quoted as saying that "any one who could feed LOGO persons
 with five loaves and two fishes could settle the profiteering question.
 This alleged statement, Rev. kvale
 testified. strengthened his belief that Vol stead was an atheist. A Rev. MT. Lee, of Minneapolis, also was authority TOT 1 his terming Volstead an atheist, he said

Old Man Coyote trotted along through the Green Forest so upset by his failure to catch Peter Rabbit after waiting for him nearly all night that he didn't keep as sharp a watch as usual with the result that he missed
 q chance to catch Whitefoot the Wood
 Mouse, and few minutes later went right past Mrs. Grouse without seeing
 her until with roar of her stout
 wings she was in the air and safe.
 These things didn't improve his tenn |per. He was hungry and disappointed. \ There was just one thing that con- soled Old Man Coyote. He was sure that no one knew or even would know how Peter Rabbit had fooled him by |his unexpected dive into Jerry Musk rats house under his very nose. Since he was sure that Peter hadn't come out and that Jerry Muskrat had been there after Peter entered, he was cer- tain that Jerry had put an end to Peter. He didn't see how it could possibly be otherwise.
 By the time Old Man Coyote reached the Green Meadows the Jolly Little Sunbeams were kissing the flowers awake. Old Man Coyote hurried. He ought to have been home in the Old Pasture before this. He didn't feel at all comfortable out in the open in broad daylight. But though he was in a hurry he went just enough out of his way to take him close to the dear Old Briar- patch. You see. he was hungry and the crafty old sinner thought he might be able to surprise little Mrs. Peter Rabbit or one of her babies outside the dear2 Old Briar- patch.
 But again he was disappointed. His nose told him that Mrs. Peter had been outside the dear Old Briar-patch as far as a certain patch of sweet clover some time during the night, but she was nowhere to be seen and he knew that she was safe at home among the brambles. He was preparing to hurry on when a sudden thought popped into bis head. He turned and |xtrotted to the very edge of the dear |sold Briar- patch. He peered in among the bushes and brambles. but they were too thick for him to see anyone. Mrs. Peter! Oh, Mrs. Peter" he called. and cooked his head to one side,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-14

while he listened for an answer. But there was no answer. He hadn't really expected one.
 Mrs. Peter" he called again after a moment, I've brought you some sad news Peter will never come home again."
 That depends, MT Coyote. That de- bends. He rather expects to come home 1 frequently" said a voice from the midst of a thick tangle of brambles. Old Man Coyote jumped as if he had suddenly stepped on sharp thorn and on his face was the funniest look. He
 knew that voice. It was Peter Rab- bits voice. But it couldn't be. Even if Jerry Muskrat hadn't killed Peter he couldn't possibly be over here in the dear old Briar-patch. Old Man Coyote I was certain of that Hadn't he kept Peter a prisoner in Jerry Muskrat's 1 house on the bank of the Laughing | Brook all night long? l "Wh--wh-who is speaking? stut- | tered Old Man Coyote, and lay flat down so as to peer under the branbles. Then he rubbed his eyes just as he lhad done when Jerry Muskrat had 1 appeared where he had expected to see | Peter Rabbit, for now he saw Peter
 himself That is, 1t was Peter or his ghost, and Old Man Coyote didn't be-
 lieve in ghosts.
 T hope you had a pleasant night 1 over on the bank of the Laughing
 Brook" said the voice and then chuckled."
 There wasn't any doubt in Old Man
 Coyotes mind then. This was Peter
 Rabbit sure enough.

INCOME TAX PAYERS MAY SECURE REFUND
 UPON APPLICATION

Montgomery, July 13.-(Special)-. Persons who paid state income taxes before the supreme court invalidated the income tax provisions of the gen. eral revenue law will be refunded all they paid on application to the state tax commission, according to announce ment of John S. Mooring, chairman. Those who have already filed applica- tions will receive checks during tho next few days.
 Although the tax would not have been due until October 1. if the tax had been valid. many persons mailed checks with their returns and the state treas- ury now holds between $16,000 and S2O 900 which belongs to the taxpay- CTS It is doubtful that all persons will demand returns and the funds left over will partly compensate the state for the money lost in printing blanks for the income tax department.
