Bedtime Stories
Peter Tries to Waken the Chucks
By Thornton W. Burgess
Lack of understanding, 1t is clear
Often is the cause of foolish fear.
Peter Rabbit

frightened by harmless things they do
not understand than by real dangers
the do understand. 1t always has
been so and probably always will be so.
You see, if you know all about a thing
your imagination cannot make of it
anything worse than it really is. But
if you do not understand a thing your
imagination can make terrible thing
Of it and frighten you half to death.
And somehow imagination dearly loves
to do this very thing.
Once before Peter Rabbit had visited
Johnny Chuck in winter and had been
unable to tell whether Johnny was
really asleep or was dead. The feeling
that Johnny might be dead had fright
encd Peter so that he had scampered
out Of Johnny's house in hurry and
he had never told anybody about it. In
the spring Johnny Chuck had reap
peared and Peter had forgotten all
about it,
Now Peter remembered it as he sat
down there in Johnny Chuck's house,
with Johnny so still and cold in one
bedroom and Polly Chuck so still and
cold in another bedroom, and he had
much the same feeling that he had
that first time.

to himself. but all the time he couldn't.
he just couldn't, feel sure Il triel to

probably didn't try hard enough. If
they. really are asleep, of course, they
can be wakened. I--I-belicve III try,
just to make sure. OF course. they
must be asleep. Nothing could have
happened to them down here"
First Peter thumped with his hind
feet in the hall just outside the door
Of Johnny Chuck's bedroom. He
thumped as only Peter can thump.
Then he listened. Johnny Chuck hadn't
moved. Peter tried it again. The re-
suit was just as before. Peter couldn't
imagine how anybody could possibly
sleep through such noise.
Then Peter poked his head in Johnny
Chucks bedroom and called. Johnny
didn't answer. He didn't move. Peter
poked him roughly. There was no more
sign Of life than before. Then Peter
actually bit Johnny Chuck and instant

But there was no need. Johnny

"He must be dead" muttered Peter
mournfully. "He must be dead. No

So Peter did the same things to Polly
Chuck that he had done to Johnny
Chuck and Polly Chuck remained still
and cold. 1t must be that she, too, was
dead. Peter began to be frightened ed
Really there was nothing to be afraid
of. Even if they were dead there was

that. He turned and hurried up the
long hall to the doorway b. which he
had entered. He was in hurry to get
out OF that fearsome place
And all the time it wasn't fearsome
place at all. Nothing had happened
to Johnny and Polly Chuck. They were
not dead. They were asleep, truly

limitations of Genuine
Merchandise Give
Imitation Results

Please ask the man with a
wooden leg or an artificial arm
if that is not so.
Grateful indeed we are, most
assuredly, for anything that
gives assistance to those who
gave their all to their country
when they put on an Army or
Navy uniform. We cannot but
sympathize with "the boys"
who must make the best of
whatever they can get.
But limitations of wool and
worsted and shoddy in woods,
furniture and household goods
are horrors that this Store
avoids.
Possibly there never was a
time when inventors and dis
honest spectators were so busy
and so adroit in finding ways to
cheaper everything by deceit in
making articles appear to be
genuine when they arc only sub
stitutes to sell at lower price.

egotism, one might believe, would

Jews have the mastery Of the theaters,
and of the clothing, jewelry, tobacco
and furniture trade. They gradually
are growing toward control Of shoe
production The motion picture indus
try largely is in the hands Of Jews,
and to them it owes mostly its mar
velous development. In all these
things the Jew still is constructive.
He does not yet figure extensively in
the transportation field, but when he
comes to do so it will be found he
would rather build railroad than
wreck one.
Modern finance as distinguished
from medieval trade, is chiefly the
creation of Jews. They lead as bank
ers, for which form Of finance, by rea>
son Of their long experience as mon
ey-lenders, they have peculiar affin-
ity and special fitness. Their general
influence in international finance is
such that a race that so recently was
the battered plaything of rulers now
has the power, if pleased to use it, vir.
tually to dictate the worlds political
policies.
How may we reconcile the undoubt-
ed Jewish economic dominance with
the absence Of greater aggregate
of racial health and an individual su-
periority in the technique Of finance!
The answer is found in race solidarity,
pooling Of family interests and re-
sources, more equal methods Of CO.
operation, and faculty for controll-
ing conditions and adjusting situa-
tons.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth than the belief by Gentles that
all Jewish valuations are vulgar
measured in terms Of money. Especi-
ally is this the case in the Jews social
life and his domestic relations. Jews
esteem learning and intellectually
above material wealth. II is the ambi-
ton Of almost every Jewish family Of
substance that daughter shall wed a
scholar or a genius, with little regard
for his financial condition. Contrast
his attitude with the sordid matching
of fortunes in matrimonial alliance by
rich Gentiles.
II would not be strange, however,
did the Jew place an excessive value
on the possession Of wealth and strive
unduly to acquire il. To him gold is
a shield that guards him against his
enemies more securely than could any
buckler Of iron or steel.
II has been said that money is not
everything, but il will buy the rest.
This is not quite true, but the Jew
found II would buy most Of the things
he did not possess. 1t will not buy an
ideal; but the jew already had that
Also, the Jews have learned that in
fluence goes with affluence. They
found that the scepter Of power was
fashioned OF gold, Possession Of much
OF this potent metal made an enslaved
people masters Of their masters.
There is less sovereignty in directing
earth's empires than in dominating
the money markets OF the world.
II was with n hammer Of gold that
the Jew was able TO strike off his
shackles and knock at the gates Of a
fuller freedom.

Picnic In
WaldoHills
HeldTOday

Plans for the Waldo Hills pic
mic, one of the largest pioneer
events of every year in this part
Of Oregon were made to accom-
modate a crowd of about 1900
people. The rain or last night
and today has probably prevent
ed the participation of some, but
without doubt people from all over
this part of the valley have brav-
ed the weather. The John A. Hunt
farm, twelve miles from town is
the meeting place this year and
there is a convenient sheltering
grove. The program began at 10
O'Clock this morning and the
picnickers will leave for their
homes about o'clock this after
noon.
The Waldo Hills picnic was
held for the first time about
fourteen years ago when fifty or
sixty of the old pioneers who
settled in Waldo hills met in sort
of a reunion. Now there are
about six of the old pioneers liV-
ing, but people from all over the
side join in the festivi-
ties until the numbers are swell
ed to several hundred. Everyone
is welcome.
A partial list of committees
follows: Program committee:
Mrs. w. Fl. Humphrey, Mrs. Ma
tilda Lillaland, Miss Genevieve
Patton: committee on tables, Mrs.
P. B. Patton, who will be assist
ed by neighbors. John McNary
was scheduled to give the address
of the day, the Cherrian band to
furnish music and Mrs. W. II.
Prunk to sing.
But, in addition to diversions
provided, without doubt the most
interesting to the pioneers them
selves and to their friends were
the accounts they told or their
in crossing the plains,
and the hardships they encounter
ed when they first settled In
Waldo Hills.
Officers Of the Waldo Hills
club, which meets once a year at
the picnic are W. H. Downing,
president. and ]. H. Hunt. sec
retary. They have held office for
the past five years, Mr.. Downing
succeeding his father, an old pi-
oneer. and Mr.. Hunt succeeding
his uncle, an old pioneer.
