UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of the Mashed Potatoes
By HOWARD R CARS
By HOWARD R. CARS

I don't know how. Just let me mash
the potatoes with this TANNER" and
he held up the potato puncher which
was like a wooden club.
"Oh. ho!" howled the Wolf. There
Is some trick in this. Wen jam the
potatoes ourselves"
That's what we Will" said the
Fox. III jam them and you hold
Uncle Wiggily." he went on.
Well, the Fox tried 10 jam the po-
tatoes but you know how it is The
pot slipped all over the stove, sliding
here and there almos. TO the floor.
"Here!" barked the Fox TO the
Wolf. You come and hold this pot
from slipping. As soon as I have
TANNED the potatoes. well nibble his
earsi"
The Wolf let go of Uncle Wiggily
to hold the pot for the Fox. The
Fox raised the potato masher and
brought il down hard. But instead
Of hitting the potatoes he hit he
Wolf on the paws.
Here! Look cut what you're do
ingr howled the Wolf
Il didn't do it on purpose" whin-
ed the Fox.
Once more he jaEamed away. but
again he smashed the paw Of the
Wolf who held the pot
Here snarled the Wolf, you
don't know how TO mash potatoes!
Let me do it while you hold the pot"
So they changed places, but the
Wolf was no better. He let the
heavy club of a masher slip and hit
the Fox.
"Oh wowi" howled the Fox. why
are you jamming me-"
Il didn't do it on purpose" said
the Wolf.
Yes you did" howled the Fox.
you want to make me run away
so youu have both Uncle Wiggily's
ears for yourself. l know you! Take
that" and he threw a ball OF pO-
tatoes in the eyes of the Wolf
well. you take that" growled the
Wolf, and he threw the potato mash
er at the Fox. And then those two
bad animals began TO fight and
scratch and bite, and they rolled
over and over out of the bungalow,
leaving Uncle Wiggily safe and
sound. The Wolf chased the Fox far,
far off and when they were gone the
bunny locked the door. Then he
cleaned up the potatoes off the floo-,
mashed those in the pot and ate
them for dinner. And Nurse Jane
said he was very smart.
SO this teaches us that it is some
times good TO have mashed potato 5
for dinner. And if he chairs will
only stop chasing the napkins around
the dining room table and tickling
it's legs. I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the chocolate
candy.

Prohibition has been blamed for

''ln the old days. says Earl b.
Gerlach. Cabell county coroner.
-four out of five cases of heat pros.
tration were the result of alcoholic
liquors. The human system, weak
ened by indulgence in alcohol. could
not withstand uncommon heat. and

Mr.. E. L. Kuykendall has been APP
pointed chairman of the Knights of
Pythias voluntary subscription COM
mittee to raise funds to apply to the
purchase fund of the lodges new
home purchased the past week.
Voluntary contributions of SIS and
up will be asked of all the members
of the order. This plan has been
adopted in order to obviate the nee
essity of drawing on the benevolent
and relief funds of the order. 1t will
not be an assessment, but will be an
appeal to the loyalty and pride of the
members Of the fraternity.
Voluntary contributions from the
members Of the order will set-up
quite a nice sum which viii be a
substantial payment on the new
home, and it is hoped that all menu
bers Of the order will respond gem
erously when the committee calls.
The new home Of the lodge in the
Robinson building at the corner Of
College and Fourth streets is one
of the handsomest equipped lodge
rooms IN the city with all club and
home conveniences and it will be a
ideal place for the home Of the mem

FIRE DESTROYS
SCHOOL BUILDING
Believed Destruction of Wood
lawn School by Fire Work
of Incendiary.

Fire destroyed the Woodlawn
school located on the Military road
north of Columbus, Saturday morning
at 2 o'clock.
The fire is believed to be the work
of an incendiary, but the motive for
the burning of the building is not
quite clear.
1t is known that there has been
some dissatisfaction among some OF
the patrons of the school, but not to a
degree that would justify the reso'
to violent destruction of the building,
The teacher of the school, Miss
Gabrella Green states that the fire
in the stove was put out and the
stove cleared of ali ashes before
school was turned out Friday after
noon, and it is not believed that the
fire originated from this source,
Prof. E. A. Stanley, county superin-
tendent of education, states that the
opinion in the community seems to b'
that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary, but there is nothing or
which to base such an assumption.
There were no signs of fire abou
the school about IL o'clock at mid
might according to reports of passer
bys.
The matter is being investigated.
