UNCLE WIGGILY AND SAMMIE'S
SIIPPER.
BY Howard r. Garis.

Here's little letter that came
for you this afternoon, when you
were out looking for an adventure,
Uncle Wiggily," spoke Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady
housekeeper as the bunny gentle
man hoped back to his hollow
stump bungalow one afternoon.
"a letter for me? How nice!"
said Uncle Wiggily, as he read the
letter, which was written on a
piece of white birch bark with a
piece of burned stick for q pen
ell.
"Who is it from?" asked Nurse
Jane.
ITS a little note from Sam
mie and Susie Little tail, asking
me to come over to tea. And they
want you also, Nurse Jane"
THAT'S nice" said the muskrat
lady. "Then | will not have to set
the table here"
A little later she and Uncle
Wiggily were at the rabbit home
of Sammie and Susie Littletail.
$50 glad to see you" said Mrs
Iittletail, as she let I'm Uncle Wig
gily and Nurse Jane. "The children
said they were going to invite you.
have carrot honey cakes for
supper"
"Fine!" cried Uncle Wiggily
But where are Sammie and
Susie ?'
"Oh, playing out in the yard, ;"
answered their mother. Il must
tell them you are here so they'll
come in. 1t is so cold and freezing
they may catch the epiZootic
Though they are sliding, skating
and riding on their sleds so much
they keep as warm as a boiled
egg"
Into the rabbit house came
racing Sammie and Suie when they
heard Uncle Wiggily had arrived.
The noses of the rabbit boy and
girl, which were usually pink, like
the bunny gentleman's. were now
as red as beet, from the cold
air.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! We're so
glad you camel" cried Sammie.
"Will you play some games with
us after supper?"
"Of course / WILL" answered
Mr. Longears.
SO when the meal was over, the
rabbit children gathered around
Uncle Wiggily, and while Nurse
Jane and Mrs. Littletail talked
about sewing and baking and the
best way to dust dishes, Susie
cried:
"Oh, let's play hunt the slipperw
Fine" said Sammie. "I'll get
one of my old slippers and Wen
take turns hiding it,"
The game started, 1t was Uncle
Wiggily's turn to hide the slipper
first, and the rabbit gentleman
stuck 1t under the edge OF the
piano
Susie managed to find 1t. and

We met Tom as agreed and he
took us all, Helen included, to a
quaint little table de hote place
he knew of. Mother seemed to en-
joy ii very much; although she
occasionally would wonder how
the baby was and If it were
safe to leave him so long with a
young girl
You're as bad or worse than
Sue and l" Tom laughed, "That
younster is bound to be spoiled
He's beginning to want his own
way already"
"Oh he won't be spoiled, "
mother quickly replied, but while
he's so little he deserves cud-
ding. The only baby in either
family"
"Yes, my mother was just as
bad as you are!" he laughed, "she
hated so to leave him, and I be-
lieve she cares more for him
than for either Hazel or me-"
Just then our waiter brought the
check; and mother fairly beamed
as we started for home.
mot that l haven't had a nice
time, Tom" she said when we
laughed at her, FOR | have had a
wonderful day. | never shall for

enough" referring to the baby.
When we reached home Nora
told me: ..
"A gentleman called up twice
Mrs. Randall; I've got his name
on a piece of paper" and she ran
to get it.
To my surprise Carol Blackjack
had called me up.
Did he leave any message,
Nora" l asked, wondering what
he could want.
"He said he'd call again tomor-
row." she replied

after l had told him.
How should / know? Going to

THAT would be lovely; but he's
a bachelor isn't he?"

I have heard that he was a di-
Vorced man or something like

EDUCATOR CRITICISES
PINCH PENNY SYSTEM
IN KANSAS SCHOOLS
lRy The AssocIated Press.l

St. John, Kans., Feb. 27-While
Kansas is paying AZ cents per cap
ita a year in maintaining its pub
lie schools, Kansas women are
spending an average of $25 year
or approximately $15,000,000 on
cosmetics and beauty lotions, and
men are spending annually an
equivalent sum on tobacco, Prof.
M. L. Smith, head of the depart
ment Of rural education of the
Kansas State Normal school, told
an audience gathered in Conven-
-tion hall here. Professor Smith
was addressing a meeting called to
discuss consolidation Of school dis,
tricts. The plan under considera-
tion is the merging of the st. John
district with twenty-one school dis
tricts surrounding it. The normal
school professor has for several
years made a speciality of school
district consolidation and has SUI
pervised the consolidation plans in
a number of western Kansas coun-
ties
The speaker brought home to
his hearers what he termed "the
pinch-penny system under which
Kansas rural schools have been
conducted" The great game from
Adam to the present time has been
passing the buck" he said, "and
it has been played in school affairs
in Kansas until educationally Kan
sas has dropped TO twenty-seventh
place among the states. Kansas is
advertised as first in hogs, first in
wheat, first in alfalfa-but not
first in education"
He also stated that certain
town in this part of the state made
a survey and found that the cost
of gasoline for and the upkeep of
automobiles of that city was an
nually more than was being paid
out for the education Of the child
ren of that CITY,

THE CRUCIAL TIME.

The country's reached an evil
pass, and there is worse to follow;
this readiustment stuff, alas, is
pretty hard to swallow. SO speak
the jays, in doleful bands, who
grunt and grumble daily; through
out their lives they wiring their
hands, and murmur, Willow
waly!" But wise men say that bit
ter times are just what we are
needing; we're learning now to
prize the dimes we used to blow
unheeding. We used TO spend our
coin in haste, for all the junk
they'd dish us; we're learning now
that wanton waste is foolish, vain
and vicious. We had to learn that

A STRAIN OF IRISH
BLOOD IS FOUND IN
ANG0RANS OF TODAY

Washington, Feb 29.--Some-
thing about the laundering defi-
ance hurled at the allied govern
ments recently by Mustapha Kerel
Pasha. Turkish irreconcilable, from
the seat OF 'the Angora govern
ment' he had founded at the city
of that name, prompted National
Geographic society investigators
to look up the history of the place.
Everybody had heard, of course,
of the long-haired goats of Angora.
A current bulletin of the society,
however, dissposes a strain of Irish
blood dating Jack 400 years, in the
natives of the town.
Students profess to find plain
evidence of this strain in the An
gorans of today. Not only, the bull
letin asserts, are they of lighter
complexion than surrounding peo-
pie, but "they are the most genial
of the Mohammedans of Asia
Minor"
A Celtic invasion from central
Europe, 10000 strong, swept over
Angora two centuries before Christ,
settled at Aneyra, as the town was
then known, and were ultimately
absorbed.
{ The town stands on a rocky pla-
teau 220 miles southeast of Con-
stantinople and now has about
10000 people, a third of whom
are Turkish speaking Armenians.
The goats for which it is famous
are bred on the plains to the south
and the bulletin adds:
Cats, and to q less extent, dogs
and other animals in the neighbor-
hocd OF Angora have unusually
long, silky hair. 1t is believed that
the climate and perhaps the soil
of the region are responsible for
the peculiar development"

j s. SHOULD Be
JUST To LATIN
AMERICA, SAYS
Barrier of Language Is a
Great Drawback to the
Much Desired Solidarity
of the American People.

! MOnteVldeO, feD. 2f.-Ine United
States should not only be right in
its conduct toward South and Cen
trail American republics but shoull /
seem to be right, DIR. Juan A. Buero,
foreign minister of Uruguay told
North American correspondents in
an interview the other day.
Dr. Buero made this state
ment when asked by the corre-
spondents concerning the prejudice
reported to exist in South America
against the United States because
of actions taken at various times in
regulating the affairs of some of
the less stable republics in the
tropic zone.
Uruguay Understands u. s.
Uruguay" he replied, thor
oughly understands the United
States and the reasons for it's act
ions. However, some of the nations
that have difficulties with the
United States may not understand
the North American position. Fur
thermore, there are a number of
agitators throughout South Ameri-
ca willing to play upon the minds
of the people to influence them
against North America and make
them believe that the great north
ern republic is actuated by a spirit
of aggression.
Therefore, permit me to sug-
gest In the interest of American
solidarity and universal good will
among American republics that the
United States not only be but seem
to he right in its dealing with South
and Central American republics.
The facts and the appearances
should coincide
Discusses the League.
Discussing the league of nations,
DIR. Buero declared that without
North America it could not be a
success. 1t could not do without
the physical, moral and financial
support of that nation, he said
DR.. Buero was asked whether he
believed that Pan American
league on the lines proposed by
President Brum, of Uruguay, was
incompatible with the league Of
nations.
Most certainly I do not" he
replied. "The Americas, if they
wish to retain the world influence
that is coming to them must have
an American solidarity.
'"There is, however," continued
the foreign minister, zone great
to this much desired !
of the American peoples
1t is the barrier of language. For
economic and political reasons the
public schools in both the United |
States and Latin-American coun-
tries should teach both English and |
Spanish. The universities of Uru-
quay have already begun to do so. |
The United States, fear, have not |
yet thoroughly appreciated the i'm
portance of doing this

much of truth, and heal the spend
thrift canker, and take our earn
ings to the booth where dwells the
village banker, we had to learn
this sort of dope, and quit our
money burning, before there could
be any hope of stable times re-
turning. We're getting down again
to taeks. We cease our spendthrift
rawlings, and you may see us MAX
ing tracks to salt away our saw
ings. When we are seedy, sick and
sore, it takes strong dope to cure
US; and now Good Health is at
the door, the wise old lads assure
us. The medicine we have 10 take
may seem a trifle bitter, but what's

SUPREME COURT
ENDS RECESS Of
A MONTH TODAY
(By The Associated Press. J

washington, Feb. 27.--DeciSionS
in some of several cases of national
Importance may be handed down
tomorrow by the supreme court,
which will end a months recess
taken to study and reach conclu-
sions in issues previously argued.
Among the cases in which argu-
ments have been heard are several
expedited at the request of the gov
ernment on the ground of their inn
portance to the public welfare, but
it does not necessarily follow that
decisions. in any of these will come
tomorrow. .-
The appeal of Senator Truman
H. Newberry, republican, Michigan,
from conviction for conspiring to
violate the election laws was heard
by the court far ahead of it's turn
because the government said it was
necessary that Mr.. Newberry's
claim to his seat be decided If pos
sible before the session of the new
congress expected to be called
shortly.
Two internal revenue cases--the
so-called invested capital and CAPT
tai assets cases-which have been
argued, have been declared of first
importance in connection with the
federal finances. Hundreds of mill
lions of dollars in excess profits
taxes must be returned if the gov
ernment loses both or either of
these suits.
Ten cases involving the validity
of the Lever act, the weapon of
the government in fighting prof
iteering, have been waiting judg-
ment, as has the single case
brought to test the farm loan act.
In Atherton Mills VS.. Johnson, the
court has before it the question of
the constitutionality of the law inn
posing a special tax on products OF
child labor moving in interstate
commerce.
Organized labor has vital inter-
ests at stake in two suits already
heard-that of the United Mine
Workers against the Coronado Coal
company, involving the immunity
of labor organizations funds from
for damages caused by
strikes, and a second suit involving
the right of union to order and
prosecute peaceful picketing. La
Dor leaders declared that the very
of the structure they
have reared in the past forty years
are based on the issue involved III
these two cases.
