WOULD GET THE HABIT.

There may be two or three counties where for a
time voters would rather let George do it than to
themselves select officials through free for all
primary election law.
But they would get over such habit upon
seeing how eagerly and successfully the people of
other counties took matters into their own hands
and exercised wide choice in choosing from among
the citizenship individuals known by their neighbors
The range in selection under a primary law
would eliminate many undesirabes who can now be
put up for office through shrewd manipuatons by
experienced politicians doing team work to arrange
delegations in the interest of picked favorites.
Most of the counties if not ALL are anxious to
have primary, elections substituted for the present
unsatisfactory system. And a change goes
into effect, the power of chronic control by one or
two men of either party will end
Results will be gratifying to citizens gener-
ally that any opposition to statewide primaries will
be sienced.
The wedge must be driven to split wide open con-
solidated control by centralized combinations

UNCLE WTGGILY AND THE
RED SPOTS,
(By Howard r. Garis.)


"fWhere are you going, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane one
morning, as she saw the bunny
rabbit, all dressed up in his tan
silk hat getting ready to hop down
off the steps of the hollow stump
bungalow.
"Oh, just to take a walk and
look for an adventure" replied
the old gentleman rabbit. ar Won
want anything froom the store

don't believe the Pip will bother
me today, after the way | splashed
cake batter on him yesterday"
laughed Mr.. Longears.
:, Uncle Wiggily hoped along over
the fields and through the woods
and just as he was passing a cute
little house made of white birch
bark with purple grapes for trim
ming, the rabbit gentleman heard
a voice calling:
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily Wait a min

HARD TO KILL.

You take 4 club and swat a
snake, and it will vain contortions
make, long after 1t is dead; the tail
will tie itself in knots as in def
ance of the swats that smashed
the evil head. But when the sun
set comes, men say, the serpent
quits its foolish play and drops its
bluff insane: and some one hangs
it on the fence in the belief, de-
void of sense, that such an act
brings rain. And it is much the
same with Booze; his sinful head

"Ho! Hot" said Mr.. Longears to

| will not wait a minute, or even
second; I'll just skip right along
But when he had peered care
fully around the corner of the null
berry bush, Uncle Wiggily saw that
1t was only Squeakie Eekie, the
cousin mouse, who was calling to
him.
ooh, it's you, is it, Suueakie
Eekie?" said the bunny gentleman,
his heart not beating so fast now.
Come out and take a walk with
me-" invited Uncle Wiggily.
II wish | could, but can't,"
said the little cousin mouse.
why not?" asked the bunny
uncle.
ION account of the red spots"
answered Squeakie Eekie.
Red spots' cried Mr.. Longears.
"Do you mean to tell me-"
"Oh, it's just the measles that
! had" went on Squeakie Eekie
with a laugh. 81 had them and
I'm Just getting over them. But
Mother Longtail said l wasn't to
go out until the red spots had left
me, and there are still two or three
that show. SO / can't come with
you, Uncle Wiggily, and I'm sorry"
80 am ~ spoke the bunny
uncle. II believe we might have
a nice adventure together. But
since Mrs. Longtail wants you to
stay in, it is best to mind her.
However, perhaps / can bring you
something to play with. What
would you like?"
"A box of paints" answered
Eekie. IF I had box
of nice blue, green, pink and red
paints I could stay in the house
and amuse myself. | wouldn't
mind the red spots then"
paints you shall have" cried
Uncle Wiggily with a jolly laugh.
IN get them for you right away,
