UNCLE w1GGILY in THE MUD.
By Howard n. CARTS,

Once upon time, when Uncle
Wiggily was taking his red, white
and blue striped barber pole rheu-
matism crutch down off the clock
shelf, to go loon for an adventure,
he heard, Baby Bunty crying.
What's the matter with Baby
Bunty Nurse Jane?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, she wants to go out and
play, but it's raining and l don't
want her to-" answered the musk
rat lady housekeeper. Now be a
good child; can't your" asked
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy of Baby Bunty,
the little rabbit girl who had
come to visit Uncle WiggiIy.
Il want to go out and play!"
sobbed Baby Bunty.
But it's rainingn' said Nurse
Jane.
That's just why | want to go
out" said Baby Bunty. "fYou can
make lovely mud pies when it
rains, and that's what / want 10
do-make mud pies! Boo hoo!" .
We'll, you can't" spoke Nurse
Jane, Il mean you can't go out
and make mud pies. You may boo
moo all you please" she said to
Baby Bunty "but I'm not going to
let you out in the rain!"
Then can't Uncle Wiggily bring
me in some nice, clean mud SO l.
can make pies here?" asked Baby
Bunty.
Bring mud in here?" cried the
surprised muskrat lady.
Yes, | could make some lovely
pies in your kitchen and bake
them in the oven!" went on the
little rabbit girl, drying her eyes
on Nurse James apron. "It will
be ever so much more fun than
making mud pies in the rain"
"All right! I'll bring you some
mud when / come back, prom
ised Uncle Wiggily, anxious to get
started.

ed Nurse Jane. you will spoil
that child, Wiggy, getting her

"Oh, a little mud won't hurt"
spoke the bunny gentleman, twink
ling his pink nose in a funny way.
'I'll take an old pail and bring
her back some nice, clean mud"
"Oh, goodie!' cried Baby Bunty,
clapping her paws.
Then Uncle Wiggily started out
in the rain looking for an advcn-
ture. He carried toadstool UNI
brella, so he didn't mind the wet
On and on he hoped over the
fields and through the woods
looking for an adventure.
The only one he found. how
ever, was o poor little ant lady

laughed Uncle Wiggily. "Here's
the rest of it," -.--.
He flung another paw full of
mud at the bad creature, closing
the other eye.
'Ha! Ha! Now let's see you get
mel" chuckled the bunny gentle
man. You can't see me at all"
And the Alligator couldn't, be-
cause both eyes were filled with
mud. And when the gator ran
to the pond to wash the mud off
his face, the bunny filled his pail
and hoped off through the
woods.
so the gator didn't get Mr.,
Longears at all, and Baby Bunty
had a lovely time playing mud
pies in Nurse James kitchen. And
the next day it didn't rain.
Now, il our gas stove doesn't
try to stand on one leg and spill
the coffee down the back of the
ironing board, I'll tell you next

SHORTAGE OF FUNDS
CAUSES GRANT COUNTY
SCHOOLS TO SUSPEND
special Correspondence to The journal,

| Especial Correspondence to The Journal.)
Silver City, N. NJ, April 3.-At a
meeting of the Grant county board
of education held Thursday it was
decided to close the public schools
of the county at once. Notices
were ordered sent to the different
teachers and school boards to this
effect.
This decision was reached only
after long elaboration and after
every possible means of keeping
the schools going to the end of the
term had been tried without sue
cess.
The reason for this unexpected
and unusual action is that the
school funds of the county are eX-
hausted and it is not possible tc
borrow the money necessary 10
carry on the schools for the ten
weeks of the term remaining. 9th
err eXpedients were suggested and
investigated, various prominent
men were called into consultation
but the closing of the schools was
found to be inevitable. 1t was
hoped that by some means it would
be possible to continue for two
weeks in order to give the teachers
some notice, but this even could
not be arranged.
The shortage of funds was not
due to one but to a elimination of
unfortunate circumstances. A
deficit is not an unusual thing to-
ward the end OF the term but this
year the collection Of taxes was de-
layed and less than had been eX-
pected, the time for payment of
grazing fees, which go into the
school funds, was advanced until
August, the mine output tax has
been held up and finally the poll
taxes, which were expected to pro-
duce some $4,000, will amount to
very little owing to the shut down
of the camps. With all sources Of
revenue reduced the aggregate was
so large that an immediate shut
down was the only action possible.
While the unusual conditions pre-
vailing this year could not have
been forseen, it is evident that
the levy made for school purposes
was too low-apparently no mar
gin was left for emergencies
The laws of New Mexico do not
permit school boards TO borrow
money and while small deficits
have been taken care Of simply by
the banks cashing the warrants
and holding them, the greatest
emergency could not be met in that
way.
