that at its September meeting, in COM
pliance with the wishes Of a represen-
tatlye number of road districts within
the county. assembled in the court room
at that time and for that purpose. did
redistrict the county In order to make
the Dad districts smaller and more
suitable to the residents Of the var
ious districts.
A number Of the districts are pc
titioning the court to call a specia,
road meeting in the district in order
that the people of the district may talk
over the matter OF the road situation
Of the district and vote on a special
road tai for the improvement Of spec
ial places in the district that may es-
p~ecially require It.
The present regular district money,
which is a "a mill tax. the same as 1t
was before the war, is insufficient to
take car of the district needs and a
small special tax appears to be the best
solution of the problem. Blanks for
the petition may be had by applying to
the county roadmaster or the county
clerk. Such petition the law requires,
shall be signed by three or more free
holders of the district and presented
to the county court not later tnan its

BEDTnNE STORYs|
UNCLE WIGGILY AND SAMMIE'S LUNCH.

Nurse Jane. But be sure and put up
a good lunch for Sammie."
| Il will" promised Uncle Wiggily.
So, while Sammie sat on the porch
waiting, Mr.. Longears got a basket
and began to put up a noon recess
lunch for the rabbit boy. Uncle Wig
gily took the largest basket he could
find.
For boys are always hungry"
said the rabbit uncle.
"Oh, what big basket Of lunch!"
cried Sammie, when Uncle Wiggily
came out with it, to walk to school
with him. Isn't there too much for
me?" he asked.
oh, | guess not" said Uncle Wig
| gily, jolly like.
On to the hollow stump school
hoped the rabbit gentleman with the
little boy bunny. The lady mouse
teacher was glad to see Uncle Wig
and listen to the animal children re-
cite, which Uncle Wiggily did.
When noon recess came, Johnnie
and Billy Bushytail, the squirrels,
Billie Wagtail, the goat, Lulu and
Alice Wibblewobble, the ducks, and
all the others took their lunches out.
Uncle Wiggily put up my lunch"
said Sammie, as he took the basket
out in the yard
We'll, he put up enough. I guess"
said Buddy, the guinea pig boy. at
looks like a picnic lunch, Sammie."
And when Sammie opened the bas
ket there, indeed, was the largest
lunch he had ever seen. There were
81 carrot sandwiches, 80 turnip
ones, about fifty-'leven slices Of cur
rant bread spread with marmalade,
some sassafras jam, nicely spotted
on chunks of cake, nearly hundred
cookies, each one with big raisin in
the middle, so empeanut butter maCa-
rooms and GA slices of chocolate cake.
rs there enough there. Sammie?"
asked Uncle Wiggily anxious like.
Enough" cried the lady mouse
teacher as she looked over Sammie's
shoulder. "Why there's enough for
every pupil in my school, Uncle Wig
gily! Sammie can never eat all that,
He would be ill.,"
well we don't want that to hap
pen!" said Mr.. Longears. $50 sup
pose we have a picnic in the woods.
Miss Lady Mouse. Let all the chill
dren eat their own lunches and some
Of Sammie's. l thought he would be
hungry, so l put few extra things
in the basket"
81 should say you did" laughed
the lady mouse. But it will be lovely
for school picnic. Come to the
woods, children"
So she and Uncle Wiggily led them
to the woods, where there were flat
stumps for tables, and when it was
time to go back to school again all
that was left in Sammie's basket
were some crumbs for the birds. The
big lunch was all eaten.
Il hope Uncle Wiggily puts UP my
lunch some day." bleated Billy Wag-
tail, the goat. And all the animal
children said the same thing.
So if the water pipe doesn't drink
all the milk in the ice box. and
leave none for the pussy cats little
sister, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and Susie's litter.

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily Longears, the bunny rabbit gen.
tleman, was hopping past the burrow
house where Sammie Littletail, the
rabbit boy, lived, the gentleman bum
ny heard someone saying:
We'll, dear me; hum SUI dud! I'm
sure l don't know what to do. 1t
seems to me as if the trouble all
came at once"
"Oh, no! TROUBLED" said Uncle
Wiggily, winking one eye and twink
ling his pink nose This is where l
fit in. / wonder what kind of trou-
BILE there is at Mrs. Littletail's bur-
row this morning? l must look in
and see if l can help"
So Uncle Wiggily looked in and a
sad sight met his eyes. Piled on the
table were the breakfast dishes, not
one of them washed. Mrs. Littletail
was hopping about with tea kettle
in one paw and bag of salt in the
othsn Off in a corner Sammie, the
rabbit boy, was trying to study his
arithAnetic lesson, about how many
carrots you can buy for five cents
if turnips cost $40 a bushel.
why, whatever is the matter. Mrs.
Littletail?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
you seem to be in trouble"
II am" answered the rabbit lady.
Susie has the rooster pox and"
mot the rooster pox, ma; it's the
chicken pox, DR.. Postum said" po-
litely interrupted Sammie.
'"Oh, yes, the chicken pox. I'm so
excited I'm all mixed up" said Mrs.
Littletail. We'll, anyhow, Susie is
i'll, and I'm going ts make her some
sassafras tea, and put a bag of hot
salt to her paws. l haven't yet had
time to wash the breakfast dishes,
and goodness knows who will put
up Sammie's lunch for school! l
don't want him to come home until
afternoon. But l have no time to
spread his bread and make sand
wiches."
Leave it to me-" said Uncle Wig
gily in his most jolly voice. I'll send
Nurse Jane, my muskrat lady house
keeper. over here to help you take
care of Susie"
But what about my lunch?" asked
Sammie in a hungry voice.
och, you can come over to my hol-
low stump bungalow and I'll put up
Wiggily. Il love to put up lunches,

Murray" cried Sammie. and he
was so excited that he tried to divide
three turnips into seven ice cream
cones made of carrots. and have
head of cabbage left over.
But of course the rabbit boy could
not do an arithmetic example like
that, so he stopped and after telling
his mother goodbye, and promising
to be a good boy, Sammie went with
Uncle Wiggily.
You go over and help Mrs. Little

Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. I'll put up Sam
