JOHNNY CHUCk'S THREE
 FRIENDS
By Thornton w. Burgess

By Thornton w. Burgess
 When winds are soft and skies are blue And sunny is the weather.
 Then everybody everywhere
 May well seem friends together. But winds blow fierce and skies turn
 black
 And stormy grows the weather, And then it is you find true friends
 Are those who stick together.
 Now, Peter Rabbit is one of the kind of friends who stick. When he left Johnny Chuck sitting on his doorstep in Farmer Browns old orchard and worrying himself almost to death be- cause of the dreadful things that might have happened to the smartest of his three babies, ell because he didn't mind, and so was caught by Farmer Browns boy. Peter felt almost as badly as Johnny Chuck did. You see, he and Johnny Chuck had been friends ever since they were tweeny -weeny fellows. So when Peter found Johnny in trou . ble he felt just as if the trouble was really his own.
 All the way back to the dear old briar patch Peter tried to think oi some plan to help Johnny Chuck. He had told Johnny that perhaps he would go up to Farmer Browns house and try to see what had become of the little Chuck. Now it was very brave of Peter to even think of such thing for you know Peter is naturally very timid. Whenever he thought of going mp there. where Farmer Browns boy and BowseS the Hound live, he shiv cred. Then he would become worried and remember how anxious and sor- rowful Johnny Chuck had looked ana out of the tenderness of his heart he would suddenly grow very brave and make up his mind that he would do it
 Half way home he just happened to think of Unc' Billy Possum and Jimmy Skunk. He knew that they had many times been up to Farmer Browns hen house to steal eggs and, of course. they knew all about Farmer Browns door yard and the hiding places there. He would go ask them about it. So It hurried down to the Green Forest. Inc Billy Possum was sitting in the door way of his home in the big hollow rree Peter could hardly wait to say good morning before he plunged into the story of Johnny Chuck's trouble. Unc Billy listened gravely. When Pee.

 Most people had been saying it, any how, but the Cook county ultimatum got on all the front pages in a better position than the first announcement of Harding's cabinet.

 It baffles me the more I try Is to determine when I'm me
 And when I'm, strictly speaking, l.  Sometimes I'm very sure I'm I;
 It seems as plain as plain can be; But other times. oh me, oh my!
 I'm positively sure I'm me. But one solution I now know,
 It seems quite simple, you'll agree: I'm | to those that want me so:
 To those that don't-wen, I'm just

 Are you I or are you me? Or. to keep in strict accord with the trend in grammar, is you 1 or is you me?
 O
 This is a mighty important question ito both of you!
 Let consideration of the new cab inet, the tariff question, the question of the German indemnity, the Japan ese menace, the danger of a new world war, the scarcity of rents, the sleeping sickness and the high cost of hops go for awhile: these things will settle themselves.
 But every man and woman has got to decide for himself or herself the important question: Am I 'I' or am I Me? And don't tolerate any out side interference. Go off quietly by yourself G1nIess you are the sort of person who can't be quiet by himselO and fight the matter cut until a deci- sion is reached.
 And when you have reached dect- sion do not falter. There are few things more disgusting than the spec tacle of a weaklin5 making up his mind that he is "I, only 10 change his mind and become Me the minute his l friends argue with him about Il. 1 This is no new issue.

 Then Johnny Chucks three little friends put their heads together and planned what they would do to find out what had become Of the baby Chuck. It was agreed that Peter Rab- bit should try first. If he di lat sGc- ceed Jimmy Skunk would try, and if Jimmy failed Unc' Billy Possum would try. Finally Peter Rabbit once more started for the dear old briar patch to wait for the nex- day when he would prove how brave he could be
