UNCLE WIGGILY AND JENNIE'S
BRUSH.
(By Howard II. Garis.)

Uncle Wiggily awakened one
morning in the new hollow stump
bungalow which I've had built after
his old one burned. Down stairs
he heard a great rackety clatter
and clack.
Goodness, me sakes alive and
some bean porridge hash!" cried
the bunny rabbit, twinkling his
pink nose until it looked like a
spinning top. 81 hope the bad Pip

Uncle Wiggily looked over the
edge of the bannister, and he saw

Jennie Chipmunk busting about in
the han below.
Whats the matter? What's
going on?" asked Uncle Wiggily
fearingAthe worst, but hoping for

If we could be reasonably assured
that we could always elect a gov
ernor who would resist the impor-

ers and make his appointments
with no other consideration than
fitness for the offices and the pub
lie good, a governor so much better
qualified to select the proper men
and so much less inclined to select
men with the object of building up
a personal or party machine than
will the Representatives of the
parties in a convention; then l
would favor the plan, but it would
be monarchy and not democracy,

New Mexico became a state has
emonstrated a surprising capacity
in its voters to select good men
from those proposed by both
parties and not to follow blindly. the

His father and mother are Republicans, while his grandparents are Demo- crats. On Billy's little coat was pinned button on which was in- scribed the names Harding and Coolidge. During the ride they stopped at a friends house. The older folk began a discussion of politics. Daddy, turning to his young son, asked: Billy, who are you for?"

 Among the unclassifed are the secret gypsy languages spoken by wandering or criminal tribes. A puzzling language called Buru- shaski, spoken by Northeastern tribes has so far defied classification.

 FAMOUS SAYING

PORTLAND Ore, May 31 (by As sociated Press).-I Priscilla had not made her famous remark to John Alden, the Pacific coast would have lacked one of it's leading colleges, as a genealogical chart just published by Reed college shows that Amanda Reed, the founder is direct descend ent of Priscilla and John Alden. Had the demure New England maid failed to say, "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" Portland would not have had Reed college.
 Coming to Portland from Quincy, Mass, in pioneer days Simeon c. Reed started the line of steamships on the Columbia river, which later became the Oregon Railrod and Navigation. When he died he suggested that his wife use his fortune for some insti- tuition of value to the citizens of Portland. Tn 1904 Mrs. Reed died, leaving her entire fortune of several millions for the founding of Reed college.

RICE LEADS AS PRODUCT FROM
 PHILIPPINES

MANILA, May 31 (by Associated Press) The total of the six leading agricultural products of the Philip pine Islands for the year 1919 amount ed to $229,OO0,OOO, an increase of ap- proximately $54,OOO,OOO over the pre- vious year, according to figures com piled by the Bureau of Agriculture.
 As for many years rice has again taken the lead. the value of the years production being $94,OOO,0OO.
 Hemp which heretofore was consid- tered next in importance to rice has dropped to fourth place, while copra jumped into second place. The de- crease in hemp production of thirty per cent is due, according to the Blu reau of Agriculture, to the heavy |typhoons which passed over tho hemp producing provinces, and the long draught which followed.
 Sugar showed the largest increase of any of the products, registering a jump of 113 per cent over 1918. Last years sugar crop was valued at $37,- 100000.
 Tn the case of tobacco, the rise in price was entirely responsible for the eight per cent increase in the value of the crop, as compared to 1918, there being a decrease of six per cent in the acreage.
 The bureau places the value of the 1919 hemp crop at $32,5OO,OOO, copra $37, zoo ,O0O, corn $18,79O,OOO and tobac- co eat $S,79O,OO0.
