So Uncle Wiggily hoped on and
on, looking for an adventure and,
all of d sudden, he heard in the
woods just ahead of him a terrible

'Oh, dear me!' exclaimed the
bunny uncle, looking for hollow

The banging noise kept up, and
Uncle Wiggily was just going TO

make believe he was an angle

moving behind bush--it was
something with a long club.
"Oh, 1t must be the skillery seal

But just as Uncle Wiggily was
pullinf the dried leaves over his
head, as you pull the covers of the
bed over yours, when you hear a
funny noise in the night; just as
the bunny was doing this he heard
q jolly laugh.

and there he saw Buddy, the 7guinea

TIE JEWEL CASE.
by Edgar A. Guest.

Thieves broke into It house one day
And took some silver plate away,
A few loose coins, a ring two
Then promptly disappeared from view.
Next day the paper bore this line:
Thieves miss a veritable mine!
They take the trinkets from place
But overlook the jewel case
A friend called on q friend one day,
He needed money right away
He must have twenty there and then
Which he would promptly pay again.
In such an hour the friend was glad
To share the silver that he had
But when the little debt was due,
The friend had disappeared from view
nr.
OF him since then he's had no, trace.
Nor even seen him face to face; ,vs
For twenty dollars he had sold
The friend whose love was good to hold.
Now from his side he stays away,
Keeping the coins he took away,
Not knowing, in his petty mind,
He left the Jewel case behind,
He overlooked the kindly heart
Which down through life would take his part
He overlooked the friend in need
Who'd give Whenever he came to plead.
The trifling sum which he obtained
Was small to what he could have gained
Cheats take the trinkets that they find,
But leave the ''jewel case behind.

on South High street the Golden Rule is being
broken into smithereens by the trash hauiers of the
town The refuse is being dumped almost in the
door-yard of the residents.
This is beyond the city limits. These property
owners ought to become philosophical enough to
come into the city and so get its protection
However, staying out does not put them beyond
the pale of the protection of the law.
These haulers need the gentle persuasveness OF
the law to help them realize the beauty of the phil
osophy of doing unto others as they would be done
by. Whose job is it to apply the persuader?

Ex-Governor Hagerman is working on well-founded
fair statesmanlke taxation bin a substitute foi

hearings will be had upon all its phases, and that

This is as ii should be. Our taxation laws are
inequitabe, confusing and inadequate
Something fair to investors and fair to the pubic

of simple justice equity and good sense. The public
will eagerly await the tentative draft of the bill.

use METAL INSTEAD
OF WOOD IN CASES

Everett W. Morgan, an official of
the Pneumatic Sales Corporation, Of
fers a solution of the paper situation.
"Six million cords of wood" says
Mr.. Morgan, were turned into ship
ping cases last year. One and a half
cords of this wood will make one
ton of news print paper. Four mil
hon tons of paper is twice the
amount of paper being manufactured
today for newspapers. If this amount
Of wood were turned over to the pa
per mills, the paper shortage would
be relieved at once"
Many thinking men are giving
their attention to the paper famine
in full understanding of the impor-
tant relation of paper to the whole
business fabric.
This newspaper has struggled to
press with difficulty for months past,
paying exhorbitant prices for the
meagre supplies obtainable, while the
tons and tons of package goods flow
on.
There seems to be an effort on the
part of manufacturers to find as many
uses for paper packages as possible.
You even buy a coal scuttle wrapped
in paper now.
Why?
Less than one-fourth of all pulp
produced in this country finds its way
to the newspapers.
If you believe that newspapers are
worth saving and that you can better
afford to buy the magazines and
newspapers and your chiIdren's books
at a fair price than doll up the gro
ceres, tell your dealer about it.
They will cost you less out of bar
rels and probably taste quite as well.

TRAIN lis MILES LONG
IS CAR SAVING RECORD

In the month of September, 1920,
statistics of operation of the Great
Northern Railway company show a
train load of 865 tons, a car load of
3o.3 tons and an average car move
ment of all Ears on the line (includ-
ing cars our of service for repairs)
of 31.4 miles per day.
That this is a splendid record is
revealed by a comparison with the
results for the calendar year 1919
when the average train load was 765
tons, the average car load 28.4 tons
and the average car movement 23.7
miles per day.
Just what this improved perfor-
nance means to the shippers and pa
irons of this road is shown by con-
sidering the fact that owing to the
improved traffic performance the
same business was handled with $751;
900 cars on the line.
Ordinarily it would have taken TO-
o00cars to handle this business had
the operations been conducted as for
the average of the year 1919.
The magnitude of this saving is
apparent when it is realized that
these $1,000 cars saved would make
a solid train 115 miles long.
