BY Howard r. CARTS,

ooh Uncle Wiggily! Look out!
Look out" suddenly called Susie
Littletail, the rabbit girl, one day,
as the bunny gentleman was hop
ping through the woods. Don't
step there!" and Susie pointed at
something.
Whats the natter" asked Mr..
Longears, looking over the top of
his pink, twinkling nose, to make
sure it was albright. WAS ] 60
ing to step on the tail of the Fox
or the Pipsisewah, Susie ?" ""f
Neither one" answered the lit
tie rabbit girl. But if hadn't, call
ed you would have put your foot
right on my sugar cookies!"
Sugar cookies!" exclaimed the
bunny gentleman. Il don't see any.
Susie"
ooh, of course they aron'. real
sugar cookies" said the little rab-
bit girl. I'm only making believe!
Baby Bunty and Jennie Chipmunk
are coming over in the woods to
play with me pretty soon, ana I'm
making pretend sugar cookies for
our dolls to eat"
"Oh, sect laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Then he looked where Susie
pointed and he saw that she had
made some cookies out of chocolate
brown mud. with something white
and sparkling, just like grains of
sweet sugar, sprinkled on the top.
THAT looks like real sugar,
Susie" said Uncle Wiggily.
If you tried to eat it would find
your teeth full of grit" laughed
the rabbit girl. '"That which looks
like sugar is only white sand. And
of course the cookies are made Of
mud. You wouldn't want to eat
them, Uncle Wiggily!"
'"No, | guess mott" the bunny
gentleman answered. Then he
hoped on through the forest, and
pretty soon Baby Bunty and, Jen-
ME Chipmunk came to play with
Susie.
Uncle Wiggily looked all through
the woods for an adventure. Ind
when he couldn't find one he
turned back to his hollow stump
bungalow. When he reached there
he found Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuz-
zy his muskrat lady housekeeper,
just leaving.
I'm so glad you came along,
Wiggy," said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
"Why?" asked the bunny.
Because Mrs. Wibhlewobble, the
duck lady, just telephoned and ask
ed me to come over" said Nurse
Jane. II didn't want to leave the
bungalow all alone. as ! have just

Stay Their for several hours or more,
His Dad comes poundin' at the door,

Downstairs where they are anyway
An read his book--as sure as fate
His Dad will say: ITS gettin' late!"
An make him beat it up to bed,
Afore he's got his chapter read.

COTTON GOODS REVIEW
By Associated Press


 New York, June 25.-A decline in stock and raw cotton markets led to much quieter trading in cotton goods and yarns and to some price recessions. Some print cloths are down from F cent to ss cent from the extreme top prices reached on the recent upward movement and con- sessions have also been made on some of the sheetings. The tone of the sheeting markets has been im- proved by inquiries made for sub stantial quantities of brown goods for shipment to China and mod crate renewal of demand for some three yard sheetings for July ship~ ment to the Levaht.
 The China inquiries are under con sideration and have added importance because they come from some old established houses that have not been in the trading for more than year. Colored cottons of the coarser varie- ties have been selling more freely since the recent reductions, varying from F to 10 per cent. Denims are quiet and mills are beginning to cur tail the output on these clothes.
 Wash goods for spot delivery have been inactive in lines of organdies, checked yoiles and ginghams. Shirt ings offered for 1922 have not been active as buyers say they do not want to incur obligations at this time Many wash goods origin ally planned for July have been post poned until there are more signs Of interest on the part of buyers. Print and percales. and printed draperies continue to sell steadily. Curtail- ment of production is aagin being talked of more generally owing to the light demand.
 Prices current In primary markets are as follows: Print cloths 28 inch 64x64s AS cents: 64x60s 4% cents: S9k inch, 64x64s, 6M cents; brown sheeting, southern standards. 9A c; tickings ounce 17c denims 2.20. n- diga Is cent; prints II cent: staple ginghams 12 cents; dress ginghams 15 and IF cents.
