laughed Gilly as he alighted on II
spruce tree near by. How was
that ?"
Fine" exclaimed Mr.. Long

"Pll do it again" offered Gilly.
And as he climbed the tree, and
as Uncle Wiggily watched, along
came a bad old Weasel, who was
eager to nibble the bunny's ears.
Uncle Wiggily did not see the
Weasel, as the rabbits back was
turned. But Gilly, up in the tree,
saw the hungry animal.
"Ha! I'll spoil his gamem
thought Gilly, his bright eyes
sparkling. Here / comet" he
chartered. Down he glided, and
so close to the ground he went
that Uncle Wiggily thought Gilly
would surely hit the earth and be
hurt. But the little flying SPUR
rel dashed over the back of the
Weasel, and, as he did so, Gilly

upward and alighting on stump
near the bunny II hit you! Do
you want to be hit again %
"Oh, no." howled the Weasel.
"Once is enough" and away he
scurried, while Uncle wiggily said.
THANK you very much for saw
ing me, Gilly. You surely are
good glider and I'll give you some
hickory nuts if you come to my
hollow stump bungalow" ..
"Oh, joy!" chartered Gilly, as
he scampered off with the bunny.
So everything ended happily.

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York. Nov 1s.-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
With q continuance of fluctuat-
ing demand. progress toward better
business is gradual and uneven.
Seasonal influences. as usual at
this period, now begin to cause in
creased activities in some branches
and diminished operations in other
lines. The net result of CONNER
cial movements is not adverse. and
the announced reduction in freight
rates on farm products adds to the
constructive forces whose ultimate
effect will be beneficial. Recent
declines in prices of cotton and
grain, however. have tended to in
crease uncertainty and hesitation
in strictly agricultural districts of
the west and south, and the en-
largement of buying and gain in
collections has been checked in
some instances.

STEPHEN e. ROEHL
Main Street As Viewed BY Another
1t would seem that persons who
sweepingly condemn Main Street
as untrue and grossly overdrawn,
are failing to read into 1t, as the
author had intended they should,
the view point plainly given in
every page Of the iong volume.
Sinclair Lewis Is not depicting the
business mans view, the Doctors
view, or the minister's view, but
solely and entireIy the viewpoint of
Carol KenniCOt, city-bred girl
perhaps great deal or snob, and
surely visionary and impractical as
to ways and means for improve
ment Still the fact remains that
she sees certain faults and tries to
correct them by the only means that
seem open to her. We do not see
all of Gopher Prairie, but | think
we do see the side of it which
would most impress a newcomer,
city born and bred as Carol was
1t is quite likely that she, the
avowed reformer, would miss the
many good things, the simple good
ness, to be found in even the most
provincial of small communities
and emphasize the most glazing,
outstanding wants and needs, all
unknown and unheeded by the
natives.
The strength Of the book lies not
In plot or action, but mainly in
Characterization. Mrs. Bogart, with
her pious venom, is a lamentable
fact in many small communities.
The town celebrity, who years be-
fore shook the village dust from
his feet, became successful in larger
fields and, upon return visits,
loudly proclaims Gopher Prairie to
be the garden spot of the earth,
perfect model of a small town,
convinces the flattered villagers and
easily becomes the town idol as
well. His figure is familiar enough
to US all. Far from being weak
sister" DR.. Kennicot seems to me
a strong outstanding village doctor,
possessing possibilities and traits
most heroic but hemmed down by
routine. He Is not a
"molly coddIe," but manly in his
self-restraint, and at times almost
noble in his conscientious per-
formances of everyday duty. Blind
might have famed the
spark of Carols interest
In Eric to a white heat; reasonable
consideration of its absurdity prac--
tically quenched 1t at once. Carol
with her restless spirit of reform IS
not always admirable, indeed is
often silly in her futile efforts to
improve town conditions; but 1t
seems to me, is nevertheless an eX-
ceedingly we'll drawn character.
Realism Is the note struck in char
as well as in atmos-
phere and situation.
The fact that it is a subject SO
we'll known, in every smallest de-.
TAIL, to the average person mas
made it a 'best seller"
surely there Is no need to look far
her for a reason for it's popularity.
Perhaps there are no profound
IDEAS, no satisfying philosophy. OF

Main Street" has a message which
small towns the country over could

BOOTLEG BOOZE.

He bought half pint in a wynd
where bootleg booze is dear, he
looked before, he looked behind,
to see no cops were near; then
took his drink-it made him blind,
and he's been blind a year. He
was a large and stately man, an
athlete, trim and strong, built up
along the Milo plan, no pistons

He really didn't care for drink, he

In addition the county owns

them on per cent basis. Would
any business man in this city

LACK OF COOPERATION,
WASTE OR EE'FICIENCY??P

Owing to the fact that the coun-
ty and city school boards did not
confine themselves in the matter
of expenditures to their budget es-
Inmates for the past year, both of
these departmental heads find
themselves broke at this period of
the year and forced to secure a
loan to tide themselves over until
tax paying time again arrives.
The fact is the city schools spent
about $4,000 more than the
budget estimate, and the county
some $4,000 or total shortage of
$4,000.
The city school board have al
ready made a loan or $4,000 and
expect to make a further loan OF
$4,000 in a day or two; the coun-
ty school superintendent is also
contemplating a loan of $4,000 to
finance her through the balance
of the year.
This 1 am advised is permissible
under the state laws and as per
opinion handed down by Attorney
General Harry Bowman, but why
not protect the taxpayers interest
in the matter?

Secretary Mellon Orders Four
War-Born Restaurants
Removed From Treasury.

The death knell of the war-born
cafeterias in the Treasury building
and annexes has been sounded by Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon. Four
of the cafeterias will close Septem-
ber Is. giving way to the great de-
mand for Office space in the buildings
affected.
Many of the employees have circu-
lated petitions seeking the retention
of the cafeterias and have entered
protests against their closing. How
ever, the order will go into effect.
The stands affected are in the main
building of the Treasury, Treasury
annex No. :. Pennsylvania avenue and
Lafayette place, liberty loan building,
18th and D streets southwest, and the
auditors building, 14th and B streets
southwest.
The cafeteria in the temporary
building at 14th and B streets north
west was not ordered closed. This
Office is isolated from the section
where lunchrooms can be found. and
it was decided that the clerks could
not obtain their lunches in the allot-
ted half hour.
The employees in the liberty loan
and auditors buildings will be al
lowed to use the lunchroom in the
bureau of engraving and printing,
and staggered lunch periods have
been resorted to in order to accommo-
date all of the employees.

Reply Not Argumentntive.
1t is understood that de Valera's re-
ply is not of an argumentative charac-
ter, but simply an announcement of
willingness to meet the premier in
London to discuss a basis for further
negotiations.
It is expected that dali eierann
will be asked to formally approve the
names of the men who will be nomi-
mated as plenipotentiaries, so as to
avoid any suggestion that they do not
represent the views of a united body
1t is considered almost certain that
Arthur Griffith, who recently was ap-
pointed Sim Fein foreign minister,
will be among the plenipotentiaries,
and his influence is regarded as highly
important to the smooth progress of
the negotiations.
